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.
