LOOK OUT PEOPLE. The LOONS are winning. Come down to the Board meeting today at 6:00 P.M. and see what they look like.  Are they someone you want running your county? Take a good look at them and listen to what they say. Bead shops and Art. Is that what we will run this county on? It’s very sad to see what this town is becoming.

You’ve been being warned for the last couple of years that there is a “New Voice” rising up with plenty of power behind it.

Obviously the silent majority has refused to heed that warning and look what’s happening.

And by the way, does North Coast Oregon support these kinds of irresponsible sentiments towards the members of our community from some unidentified, unaccountable entity?

I think it’s the little soirees involving a newspaper publisher, a local D.A. and his gun moll, and a few californians sit around and decide who they can smear without fear of recrimination.

Do I support the happenings? No not a chance.
Mr. McGee says we were warned, that is fine but the tactics they are using and have used are even below those CCFOG accuses the County Commissioners and individuals of using.
Now that the table is set, todays announcement of Lee’s replacement will start the next act.
Will any lawsuits result from possible defamation??

Yes, we WERE warned. Many years ago then Gov. Tom McCall told us this could happen. Anyone old enough to remember those TV ads? Well here we are.
