Involvement suggested for GOP By GARY NORRIS Of The Emerald Oregon’s Republican party has some outstanding incumbents, but it needs to get more involved in “everyday politics,” Gary Wright told a Republican Round Table audience Friday. Wright, a member of the Met ropolitan Wastewater Manage ment Commission and the Hous ing and Urban Development Commission, said “too often, as Republicans, we forget the every day issues, but they’re pretty im portant.” ‘‘Traffic control and street maintenance in the River Road Santa Clara area are important to those people," Wright said. "And sewage disposal is a political issue too. It has to be political since it affects people’s lives so much. ‘‘What about growth in Danebo and River Road areas?" asked Wright. “Is it good? And how do we control it? Should the Bound ary Commission be locally ap pointed or elected? It's now ap pointed by the governor.” Wright said more attention should be given to government planning processes, such as the 1990 and Metropolitan Wastewa ter Management plans. “I don’t believe in government by fiat," Wright said. “Sometimes it seems planners establish policy and that’s that. We've got to fight like hell to make government a partner, and not just something that does things to us." Wright said he's proud of in cumbent Republican legislators, but said the party must help can didates “even if they’ve got a few spots on their coats," adding that "We can no longer demand ideological purity. “We have to learn to run with the good and bad proposals,” Wright said. “Who do the pro grams help and who do they harm? And how do we minimize the harms?" Wright also commented on sewage treatment in the Eu gene-Springfield area, saying he was pleased with the Boundary Commission's recent approval of a county sewer-service district. The River Road-Santa C Clara area can either join that district, or form a separate service district. Either way the area could still be served by the proposed central treatment plant, he said. 3* OVER NIGHT M) MINIMI M 8 am- 8pm KINKOS ■ 344-7894 " 1128 B ALDER STREET '' • 2nd floor Atrium 485-1063 : Woman-Speak series starts this week A Woman/Speak series by and about women will kick off Tuesday with a brown bag lunch at noon in the EMU, room to be posted.
