DeFazio meets constituents
Eugene’s U.S. representative talked
issues with 100 people at a local
public forum Wednesday night
By Ayisha Yahya
Reporter
Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore„ said
Wednesday the Bush administration
is not investing in higher education,
but is proposing more cuts that will
adversely affect students.
"They're disinvesting in education —
that's the bottom line," he said at a
town hall meeting in the Lane County
Courthouse. 1 le said the government
planned to cut Pell Grants to thousands
of students and further restrict access to
those grants for other students.
"It's obscene," he said. "I'm opposing
them as best as I can." DeFazio did not
say what form his opposition is taking.
More than 100 people poured into
the courthouse to get DeFazio's views on
diverse issues ranging from the national
debt and Medicare to the war in Iraq.
DeFazio expressed concern about
the budget deficit.
'"Ihis year we can expect the largest
annual deficit in history," he said. "In
the future it could be even more, even
I1111111..1. 111
if the economy recovers. *
fie said part of the reason for the
deficit was the current administra
tion's decision to introduce tax cuts
for the nation's wealthiest. He said
other decisions — such as the imple
mentation of the North American
Free Trade Agreement — had cost the
nation three million manufacturing
jobs, some of them from Oregon.
"Washington is the only place in
the world where, when people find
themselves in a hole, they dig it deep
er," he said.
Speaking on terrorism, the con
gressman said the Patriot Act was a
mistake and that he was one of the
few to vote against it.
'They do not need the Patriot Act to
deal with any real terrorism," he said.
1 Ie said he also voted against the
war in Iraq.
"I did not see a clear and present
threat," he said. He added that more na
tions must be involved in the rebuilding
of Iraq and share the cost of the recon
struction with the United States.
"We have to internationalize the re
building of Iraq," DeFazio said.
James Johnstone of the Cascadia
Wildlands Project said he is always de
lighted to hear DeFazio speak, espe
cially on the importance of prevent
ing old-growth logging.
"He's a strong champion of old
growth protection — he has been for
a decade," Johnstone said.
DeFazio said he had asked both the
Clinton and current administrations
to abandon the harvest of old growth
forests. He received a "golden spine"
award for his work on environmental
conservation from one of the audi
ence members.
Eugenean Mark Robinwitz said he
also agreed with many of the posi
tions DeFazio took.
"1 thought he was good, but on the
9-11 issue, he's missing the main
point," he said, "which is that the
Bush administration was complicit in
what happened."
Robinwitz said the government
had received warnings, which it did
not heed.
DeFazio concluded his town hall
meeting tour Wednesday night in
Springfield.
