You want to save money but you want to give it to a guy who doesn’t do a darn thing for our county? You want to drive out the four people who call him to be accountable when he decides he’s a law unto himself? What’s your problem? Patrick himself voted for performance based budgeting four years ago, Mr. Marquis was given three years to give an account for his department. If you really are trying to understand why the commissioners voted the way they did go to http://www.charterintegrity.org/AccountableProsecutors.html and see what, exactly, Mr. Marquis turned in for his budget. Look at what other DA’s throughout the state turned in. Look at what these DA’s do for their communities. Look at the services and programs they provide, look at the funds and grants that their department generates. Compare that to our DA’s budget. Now, tell me again that our DA deserves what those other DA’s are getting paid.

Who’ll be our DA when this one’s gone? Better already start looking amigos. Word is the reason he’s running up the tab now is because he’s a tier one employee. He retires in three years, at the end of this term, and his retirement is based on whatever he made for the last three years of his employment. He gets to take that retirement and go on to another career. He can draw on the full amount.

Anyone of his deputies would do. You think they’ll all leave if he does? Why? He’s sure not providing them with another job. They already know they’ve got $83,000+ salary from state plus if they do a performance based budget they’ve got another $12,00-$15,000 PLUS State benefits and County benefits plus a car, laptop, gasoline, and all the other perks that our current DA has forgotten to mention when he moans to the press but they know first hand that the County has given him. Plus, all that time to become speakers, members of national organizations, write books, opinion pieces, and become radio personalities. They also get to wake up each morning knowing they are a part of making justice happen, just the best darn feeling in the world!

For YOUR information Mr. Lee didn’t start a puppy mill, you pathetic piece of humanity.

All the cancer patients out there have tremendous hatred for those researchers and those providing the animals so that we lived. Take a wild guess what Mr. Lee’s first wife died a horrible, excruciating death from? And then make your heartless cracks as those of us suffering with cancer dare you to use your real name, whacked wonder. Could it be the same heartless person who makes the cracks about Indian children and other people not being “capable, smart or driven enough” to get the same pay as her husband?

The commissioners each get $800 a month. They each average 35 hours a week in the committees and other work that they do for BOCC. The county manager has to overlook 10 departments, 240 employees, hundreds of projects and services. Based on Marquis’ logic of being paid on the basis of how many employees you have he deserves about 12 times the pay that Marquis’ gets.

Your hatred is so implanted into your brain logic has no room. It doesn’t matter what is said or proven to you. You chose to follow someone who has lied to you, who has manipulated you, who has orchestrated this whole thing, so be it. The evidence that he is a bad administrator, that he doesn’t deserve to be paid the same salary as Jackson Co, Lane CO, Marion Co, Benton Co or even Baker Co has been laid before you. If you want to pay for substandard services to an unaccountable person who believes themselves to be above the law that’s your choice. You can vote for it. But it will be dismissed in court, anyways. The rally cry of the other side will be, vote for us even if the measure is illegal and you will be telling the commissioners you support the DA. The idiot who was so stupid he drew up a Ballot Measure that was illegal if followed and unconstitutional to boot!

Not for newspaper publication but for online and their read.

To Clatsop County Budget Committee and Board of County Commissioners: Provide Josh Marquis all the information of WHAT information that you need. If you failed to ask in detail of all the info that you need, then you sc**wd up.

That means, provide him with a list of ALL the information that you need. He’ll prepare you the info that you asked for whether that is what you expected or not.

Stop this b.s. with the “Memorandum of Understanding”. You failed to do “due dillegence” to communicate with him about what you didn’t understand and ask him to prepare it with the additional information that you need. Make him prepare a revised version of the budget with all the info. You didn’t need to go through this Portland attorney. You failed us in these regards.

If you had questions, you should first ask for clarification. Apparently, this didn’t happened because this fiasco would have never happened.

Drop this Portland attorney. Then reinstate his supplement upon submittal of satisfactory budget.

If we the county people ask you to prepare a budget and we can’t understand it, should we pull your stipend away. If you are going to play this game, it also applies to you.

Commissioner Sam Patrick Responds
The Columbian Press
Friday, October 19, 2007

There are many salient points to consider but I think the most critical point is the relationship
between the commission and the District Attorney.

The Oregon Constitution, thanks to the foresight of the founders, separates the District Attorney from
the control of local government. This keeps the local government, County Commissions and
Commissioners, from determining what cases will be investigated and prosecuted. The Constitution
gives the DA independence from other branches of government. I think this is a very good thing. The
Constitution also establishes the office as elected, making the DA responsible to the people not the
locally elected politicians. I think this is a good thing, too, because we have law enforcement
agencies that can investigate local politicians or prosecute them if they violate the law without fear of
retaliation.

The District Attorney is the Chief Law Enforcement Officer in the county. Can you imagine what would
happen if the commission could tell the DA’s office to stop investigating or prosecuting a violation of
law? I think the Oregon forefathers were very wise in constructing government this way—checks and
balances. Make no mistake that is exactly what the commission is trying to do.

Have you heard Commissioner Roberts or seen the memo in which she recommends to the
commission that there be more felony convictions? Her statement would lead me to believe that she
wanted the DA to increase felony convictions so the county could collect more money from the state
for state probationers no matter what the evidence might be.

Assertion: The MOU spells out what the DA can prepare for the budget committee for an accounting of
his department’s work and expenditures.

My response: If you will look at the budget material submitted to the Budget Committee I think you
will come to realize the DA presented adequate information for the budget committee to understand
that adding an additional judge would increase the paperwork need and reduce the time it takes to
get it done. The two staff added was a Victims Assistant and Child support staff.

It’s hard for me to believe that there is anyone in this county, with any knowledge of the Court
System, who doesn’t know the critical nature of these two positions. How difficult is it to
understand? I think it’s the DA’s job to determine what the needs of the DA’s office are and for the
commission to fund those positions or explain to their bosses, the people, why it can’t be done.
Instead, the commission wants the District Attorney to stop going to his bosses, the people, and
answer to them so the commission’s boss, the people, will stop asking them what the devil are you
doing Mr. Commissioner.

Assertion: The MOU gives the DA the opportunity to state what he believes would be fair monetary
compensation for his compliance.

My Response: The District Attorney has tried to meet and talk about the DA’s Office and its function
and budget, and has repeatedly asked commissioners. I asked the Commission Chair to put this topic
on the agenda for a regular meeting very early in ‘07. He has not. Why? There is a county policy that
establishes the right of a commissioner to have an item on a regular meeting agenda.

Why did the commission conduct their preparation for the ‘07 budget meeting out of the sight of the
public? Not one meeting was held to discuss any problems with the DA’s budget. Then at the budget
meeting there was a well-orchestrated effort to take the DA’s supplement.

But even with that the budget committee and commission approved the performance measures
presented by the DA and the County Manager recommended that they approve the budget as
submitted, with a supplement and the performance measures.

Then the commission approved the same budget without the salary supplement but with the
performance measures. So it sounds to me like there are some deeper problems than the budget.

If the commission has refused to talk with the DA how does this MOU change that? Commissioner
Roberts has stated that without ground rules established by the commission and accepted by the
DA’s Office the commission would not talk to the District Attorney.

The contract (MOU) is an effort by the commission to circumvent the Constitution and completely
ignore The State Attorney General’s role in supervising this District Attorney’s Office. These ground
rules, if acquiesced to, would bind our current DA and all of those who will follow.

Assertion: The MOU gives you and me a clear document (as is the case with other County
departments in the performance based budgeting) so we can see where and how our tax dollars are
being spent.

My response: Without the Contract (MOU) you can still see how and where tax dollars are being
spent by reviewing the budget. Management by objective is only as good as the goals and
objectives.

Just look at the County Managers Budget Goals, objectives and measures. One of his objectives is to
have packets out a week before a commission meeting and he demonstrates that his office is pretty
successful with that. But there is nothing that speaks to his job as manager of personnel. How many
employee complaints have there been? How many employees have been disciplined and for what?
How much money has been spent on attorneys and for what? I think these issues have a greater
effect on how government services are delivered than how many commissioner packets are delivered
on time.

Assertion: The MOU is a tool for the County Budget Committee to help them determine whether their
budget allocations (our tax dollars) are being spent in the most efficient way possible.

My response: First and foremost it is not their job to determine if the DA is spending tax revenue in
the most effective way. The District Attorney is a constitutionally established officer elected by the
people. It is the Commission’s job to fund the DA’s office at an appropriate level and it is the people’s
job to determine if he, the District Attorney, is spending the tax dollars in the most effective way.

A great deal has been made over the lack of information given the commission about the staffing
levels and the expenditure of tax funds. Not two years ago the commission hired a private consultant
to examine the workload and staffing levels of the District Attorney’s Office. That consultant used
information gathered from court records to support their conclusion that the DA’s office carried
essentially the same workload as Columbia and Lincoln Counties with fewer Deputy District Attorneys
and clerical staff. The report recommended that the county hire additional clerical staff and attorneys
to carry the caseload. Clatsop County hired a Victims Assistant and filled a Child Support position.

Not satisfied with an examination of court records by an independent group, the commission asked
the manager to get statistical information from the DA’s computer system and used raw data in an
attempt to discredit a study asked for and funded by the commission. By the way, the commission
spent $10,000 for that study.

Regarding the expenditure of tax money, the Clatsop County Commission has spent $9,000 to keep
the people of the county from voting on the DA supplement and $2,000 more or less, as of the last
commission meeting, to show the District Attorney is the antagonist in this matter.

If you look past the crap I think you will see that the commission doesn’t want to interact with the
District Attorney unless, as Commissioner Roberts states, the commission and Commissioner Roberts
establish the Ground Rules.

Hope this adds to the solution, not the problem.
Thank you.

Sounds like a justification to be on the DA’s side. Unfortunately 90% of the people don’t know much about county budgets, let alone county govt. That’s why we elect the county commissioners. I guess whatever budget the DA turns in would be appropriate in Sam’s eyes. Sorry, I elected a commissioner to look after my co. tax dollars.

You want to live in a county that is run by people who convict on allegations? Who try cases in the media based on no evidence whatsoever? I guarantee a clean slate on all four commissioners. There’s no way I will believe any of them gave the private citizen money to be filtered to me. Mr. Lee has never cared before that people know what he’s doing and there’s no reason he would start “hiding” his affiliations now. His wife openly contributed $350 to the campaign. Jeff Hazen openly contributed $250 to the campaign. Roberts and Samuelson have bent over backwards to negotiate a compromise with the DA that would be equitable to the citizens they represent, to the other department heads who have been cooperative and to the district attorney. OBVIOUSLY, with the threats of lawsuits all over the place the commissioners WISELY obtained counsel to protect the county from Mr. Marquis’ vicious behavior. ALL of the commissioners, as well as everyone who has been remotely involved with this campaign, locally, knew they were going to be looked at with a magnifying glass. Obviously no one told this woman, this private citizen, how vindictive Mr. Marquis is. This squelching of an individual’s right to contribute to whoever, whatever and whenever they want should be abhorrent to a free society. If this is her first contribution, doesn’t someone have to be first? YOU have no idea if this woman is divorced and always gave before under her married name with her husband, this might be her hundreth contribution. YOU have no idea if she recently inherited money and wanted to contribute to a community she had been thinking of moving into. Personally, I would have liked to seen someone that cares about the community move here. YOU obviously think innuendo, gossip and slander is enough to convict someone on. I wonder if this woman is still thinking of moving here, now? A fine welcome our paper has given a potential philanthropist. The average homes in the area she is living sell for over $250,000 dollars. She is not a slouch nor a coverup. The CRIODA people have made a serious mistake and just as they are taking the clatsop county tax payers on an expensive court room odyssey they intend on taking all who cross their path there as well. And you wonder that our commissioners have tried to protect the county with a lawyer? Your answers are right in front of your eyes, if you just had the courage to open them.

Marquis enjoys more pers than my husband and I do, by far. Why are you so violent about our pers and not his?

People go on and on that the county wasn’t explicit enough with Marquis about what they wanted from him, as if he were a child that must be led by the hand. He was given MORE information than ALL Of the other department heads about what kind of information to submit from his office yet he failed to comply. He was told to relate what his office did. What services it provided locally, what the staff did. How the third judge used up more staff time. At the beginning of each of the three years each department was given their instructions for budgeting. They were reminded to use the pbb format, they were reminded to contact the staff for help to format it properly. The staff CANNOT tell a district attorney that what he CANNOT use. They do not have the legal power to refuse his budget, as he full well knows but which he knows YOU don’t know, so he harps on the point that his budget was “accepted” by the staff. He complains that the Commissioners won’t meet with him. He didn’t do anything required of him for three years! He hasn’t shown one single good faith effort to show he is willing to comply with the pbb. He just whines they won’t tell him what they want. They want him to follow the recommendations he was given three years ago, two years ago and one year ago and at the beginning of this fiscal year of budgeting. He’s not a baby. He is an intelligent adult that knows exactly what is required. He’s playing you and he thought he could play them. They have refused to be played. But, just as his email threatened: “If they want to take my stipend, they can suffer the consequences.” Who still believes he’s not vindictive?

Patrick – Yes, 8 Am Friday

Jimbo – Quit being a ridiculous ass. I honestly don’t know if you hate 4-123 so much you want to help make them look more ridiculous than they already do or if you just write when you’ve finished drinking your corn mash but you are being disgusting.

I don’t feel Marquis has any good fortune, nor am I jealous of him in the least. I have never seen his brilliance in the courtroom. Each time I have seen him he has been totally unprepared for the case. I’ve read about his brilliance in the Daily Astorian. He is brilliant against strung out drug abusers, mentally retarded people, and the emotionally unstable. He lumps them altogether as the dregs of society. Whatever.

Why do I know this? I have a bachelors in Liberal Studies with a double minor in Business Administration (special emphasis in Cultural Diversity in the Work Place) and Anthro/Soc (special emphasis in CRIMINAL LAW). Lots of study for that and GUESS WHO has written all OVER THE PLACE about Criminal Law? It amazed me how much our DA had written, and consistently it was the most outdated opinions he had as if he hadn’t read or expanded his knowledge since he left law school. I kept wondering, “When does he do work for Clatsop County?” Court TV appearances, away trying cases all over the state, speaking at other DA associations state conventions. Yet, here, he says he’s in court every day! How does he do it? Tuesday, I believe, he was on Tom Freel 8-9 am and then Lars Larson 3-4PM and he says, “I do interviews with the media all on my own time, after hours.” And I thought, what hours is it that you keep? I mean it, he must be superman.

Yet, he refuses to be accountable. Why not just give the commission what every other department head gives them? Why can all the other department heads figure it out? Is he really that incompetent? The BOCC did not need to meet with any other department head to give them private lessons in pbb training. All other department heads figured out what was needed to explain and prove their budget but Mr. Marquis couldn’t? Read his budget. Not the interview. The interview is what had to be pulled out of him, plus it still didn’t describe his services to the local citizens NOR did it give ANY information regarding how his additional staff was using the third judge. How many cases are civil, how many are small claims, how many are tickets? How many cases do the staff we pay for actually appear in front of the third judge for?

We have 6 Deputy DAs, a Chief Deputy DA and a DA. We have one deputy per 5,234/people. The median in Oregon is one deputy per 10,000-12,000 according to Jackson and Multnomah Co. DAs. If we got rid of one deputy we would still be well below the median. According to the statistics generated by our DAs office from the DACMS system that he can’t manage to program or understand, as well as the state statistics, the cases that went to court in 2006 were 1,726. That averages to 246 cases a year of appearances in front of a judge. IF Marquis did a proper performance budget he could explain what this means. However, more than likely this would lose him staff. More than likely this means that out of those 246 cases, as was pulled out of him during the budget review interview, 94% of them were plea deals that were accepted and signed off by the judge, involving a one to three hour process. 738 hours out of a 1920 hour work year, approx, spent on those cases. About 15 cases per deputy DA go to trial each year. This takes on the full case loads and leaves DA Joshua Marquis w/o any cases at all. If you add him into the equation it lessens the Deputy DA’s loads considerably.

This is not telling Mr. Marquis how to prosecute or who to prosecute. It is explaining his staff’s caseload and accounting for their hours. It does not discuss win/loss records. It discusses time spent on a case, regardless of the outcome. Although the National District Attorney’s Association, as well as Cora Lane, think recidivism is extremely important (which is why Felony convictions for repeat offenders is more important than constant misdemeanors being tacked on) in evaluating performance so far the commissioners have not seen that as an imperative part of their budget analysis. IF any of them were to ask about FELONIES it would be as a follow up to Cora Lane’s questions. ASKING questions is not TELLING Mr. Marquis anything. It is, simply, inquiring. Mr. Marquis is a prosecutor. All question are adversarial to him. It is his nature. It makes him hard to work with.

The Prussian Mafia* has contributed about $500, the Finn Mafia* has contributed about $300, the Pollack Mafia* has contributed about $150, the Astoria Mafia* has contributed about $300, the Warrenton/Seaside Mafia* has contributed about $450, the Knappa Mafia* has contributed about $400, the Olney/Jewell Mafia* has contributed about $175, the Lewis & Clark Mafia has contributed about $475 outlying vicinities Mafia* has contributed the rest, APPROX. *IF, and only if, by mafia you mean anyone opposing measure 4-123.

Carrie-you infer that the county convicts on allegations. How can that happen if the judges run the courtroom responsibly? Good Lawyers and Prosecutors will try whatever works.

And how can you believe that the DA would allow the harrassment of the young fishermen that lived part-time in WA? Is it his dept. that orders that they be monitored for a year?

I have no training in criminal law so I’m just asking.

Thank you District Attorney Marquis, you deserve that stipend for doing so and my vote, yes on 4-123, was well worth it.

I also thank the citizens of Clatsop County, whose County Charter is an instrument of and by them, for being wise enough to take the issue of a permanent stipend out of the hands of a, no confidence, County Commission more intent on a personal vendetta than serving the people who elected them.

The Chair of the Clatsop County Board of Commissioners, Richard Lee, issues this statement in regard to District Attorney Josh Marquis’ letter to the board’s attorney, John Junkin:

Speaking on behalf of three other County Commissioners, I would like to offer the following response to the District Attorney’s latest announcement:

After months of difficult dialog, we are pleased that Mr. Marquis is willing enter into a cooperative agreement or understanding with the Board of Commissioners that will provide information needed for the Budget Committee to do its job while restoring the District Attorney’s supplemental salary. Mr. Marquis’ willingness to implement performance based budgeting and other financial policies is a step forward.

We find the District Attorney’s latest offer acknowledges that the issue-at-hand is about preserving the Citizen Budget Committee and the Board of Commissioner’s financial responsibilities to the taxpayers. At no time has any member of the Board of Commissioners, the Budget Committee or County staff attempted to influence the prosecution of criminals in Clatsop County. That has never been a real issue. As Chair of the Board, I’ve directed that the County Manager place Mr. Marquis’ offer on the Board’s November 20, 2007, Regular Meeting Agenda for further consideration.

We hope Mr. Marquis’ offer to discuss an agreement is genuine and that he will allow the Board of Commissioners time to deliberate on this matter. I would be very disappointed if Mr. Marquis’ offer turned out to be insincere. Once the Board of Commissioners have a chance to discuss Mr. Marquis’ offer during our next board meeting, it’s my hope the Board will initiate a direct discussion with Mr. Marquis.

I look forward to discussing how Mr. Marquis plans to furnish the Budget Committee with sufficient facts and evaluation methods, similar in specificity and completeness to the performance information he provides to the State.

Is Jeff against fun or just afraid to debate once it is accepted?

The Daily Astorian has sided with Mr. Marquis throughout this debate. Recently, I contacted the editor, Patrick Webb, to see if they would be interested in doing a dual guest column with Mr. Marquis and myself over the stipend issue. In Mr. Webb’s response, he said that “this will be fun.” I was offended by the remark because I don’t believe that this is fun and I have rescinded my offer to write a guest column. It is apparent to me that the Daily Astorian finds this as a source of entertainment in order to sell more papers.”
