Lane: 'Inexperience won't hurt'
By Carolyn Lambenton
Of lb* Immld
loyce l.ane considers herself a
"people person.” She is (he
Republican candidate for the
state legislature in the 42nd
District, and hopes to use her
past experience in the lane
County assessor’s office to save
taxpayers' money.
This is her first experience in
running for public office,
although she does have ex
perience in government. "I was
the chief tax deputy for nine
and one-half years. I’ve worked
as a clerk in the Springfield
Municipal Court, and served for
eight years on the Springfield
Park Hoard," she said.
“I really am naive in politics.
I'm just a concerned citizen I
don't feel that my inexperience
will hurt me. I'm a fast
learner.”
This "fast learner” has
received numerous awards and
national recognition for tax
saving programs in the county
assessor's office. She received
two associate degrees from Lane
Community College in two
years, taking 21 to 24 credits a
term. "I'm a bright person, and
I an learn the political pro
cess,” she said.
Her main goal if elected is to
improve the quality of life for
the people in her district, she
said. "That means finding jobs,
providing a good environment
where victims of crimes are
cared for. and improving educa
tion and giving everyone a
strong educational
background.” she said.
I-ane has strong opinions on
education. "People need higher
education in order to survive in
today's society. I want the tools
of education to be available to
those who want to survive. If
tuition is raised, that will price
a lot of students out of higher
education. I don't want that."
She also said higher teacher
salaries are needed to preserve
quality education.
"The middle class seems to
be left out of higher education.
There are ways for the poor to
attend college, and of course the
rich, but those in the middle
have a harder time.” she said.
She also hopes to help the
poor. "I have so much admira
tion for people who live on
$250-$300 a month,” she said,
adding that she would like to
adjust current health-care
regulations for the poverty
stricken and the elderly.
She is critical of the current
welfare system, which she said
either provides all of a family's
assistance or none at all. "By
Joyce Lane
giving the welfare family
everything, we’re destroying
them," she said.
Lane said she does not sup
port the proposed shutdown of
the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant.
"Trojan has a good track record.
It's not like the Chernobyl reac
tor. Hanford is. I think Hanford
(in south-central Washington) is
the one we should all be wat
ching. The coal burners that
would be used if Trojan is clos
ed cause acid rain, and I don't
want acid rain falling on these
Oregon trees."
And she said she doesn’t sup
port Ballot Measure 5, the
Oregon Marijuana Initiative.
"I’m worried about future
generations," she said, adding
that increased availability of the
drug if the initiative passes
could be dangerous to the com
munity's well-being.
She doesn't support a property
tax increase, and she doesn’t
believe a sales tax will ever be
enacted.
