COUNTY COMMISSIONER
Economic development at issue
Improving Lane County’s
economic growth and court
house services are the main
goals of Lane County Com
mmissioner candidates from
south Eugene district 3.
Tonie Nathan, a former com
munity relations assistant for
the county, says her main ob
jective is to “diversify, make
Lane County a hospitable
place for business and
development again.”
Incumbent Jerry Rust, “has
been a major no-growth ad
vocate in the name of en
vironmental protection,” says
Nathan, an area
businesswoman and a
freelance writer.
Nathan said she supports
all development “as long as it
doesn’t endanger public
health and safety or hurt the
taxpayer.”
Rust says Lane County
must balance a good environ
ment with a healthy economy.
“I’m going to protect the
wildlife as long as people want
me to strike a balance bet
ween economic and en
vironmental issues,” he said.
Rust, an eight year incum
bent, said the county is fiscal
ly and administratively stable.
He said the county has 800
staff employees, half of what it
had a few years ago, but
because the recession has cut
the timber industry and left
the county budget with $20
million less in general funds,
he doesn’t expect the staff to
increase much in the near
future.
Nathan says that Rust does
not have a business-like at
titude. “We have an economic
crisis. What we have to do is
change our anti-business
image.”
As example, she cites the
loss of the high-tech Data
General plant which would
have provided 1,000 jobs.
Rust won a law suit against
Data General, which wanted to
build on agricultural land.
Businesswoman Barbara
Kienlen said the courthouse is
the first place outside
developers go for information
and permits.
Too often, the commis
sioners sit and say they don’t
have enough money, instead
of trying to find innovative new
ways to get things done,
Kienlen said.
Instead of seeking outside
employers, Lane County Com
missioners should focus on
improving on what we already
have, Candidate Shirley
Whitehead says. She suggests
improving on livability, by sup
porting the University and the
hospitals.
Whitehead suggests con
solidating departments to cut
costs. She also advocates tak
ing private bids for county
work to increase cost
efficiency as well as hiring an
outside firm to administer per
formance audits on Lane
County staff.
Although many of the can
didates support economic
development, “The county is
limited in its ability to attract
industry except to provide
good government services,”
says Jack Craig.
Craig’s 16 years of govern
ment service include serving
as EWEB board member, Lane
Transit District Board member
and as administrative coor
dinator in the county Depart
ment of Assessment and
Taxation.
