Cassanelli finds some ‘county college’ lessons useful
By SCOTT JORGENSEN
IVN Staff Writer
Sandi Cassanelli, newly in-
stalled as vice chairman of the Jo-
sephine County Board of Commis-
sioners, was in Corvallis from
Thursday, Jan. 15 to Saturday, Jan.
17 for a crash course on county
government.
The “county college” was pre-
sented by the Association of Ore-
gon Counties (AOC), which gave
Cassanelli a scholarship that cov-
ered her room and board. Cas-
sanelli arrived in Corvallis Thurs-
day afternoon.
The first round of classes in-
volved the history and structure of
Oregon’s counties, followed by an
economic update and forecast and
lessons on shared state-county ser-
vices and the state’s overall politi-
cal landscape. Friday’s lessons
covered the Public Employees Re-
tirement System, and issues involv-
ing state forest land and higher
education. It culminated with a tour
of Oregon State University (OSU),
where the county college was held.
Cassanelli said that she origi-
nally considered leaving after Fri-
day, but changed her mind.
“On Saturday, they saved the
best for last,” she said.
The highlight of her experi-
ence was a lecture by Bev Stein,
who has served as chairman of the
Multnomah County Board of
Commissioners, Multnomah
County chief executive, and as a
three-term legislator. She also ran
for governor in the 2002 Democ-
ratic primary against Jim Hill and
Ted Kulongoski.
Stein is now president of the
private Public Strategies Group.
Cassanelli described Stein’s
lecture as “excellent,” and said that
the crux of it is budgeting for out-
comes in tough times.
“She was really great,” Cas-
sanelli said.
There are several approaches
that municipalities can use during
difficult budgeting times, Cas-
sanelli paraphrased Stein as saying.
They include raising fees and
taxes, cutting services across the
board, borrowing to cover costs,
evaluating tax credits, and selling
assets.
“We’re all going to have to be

courageous in doing things out of
the box,” Cassanelli said.
She added that Stein advo-
cated a “barn-raising” approach to
public funding, and maintaining
transparency in the governing
process without overwhelming the
public with information.
Cassanelli was one of 23 com-
missioners from throughout the
state to attend the county college.
She said that she enjoyed car-
pooling with her fellow commis-
sioners from her hotel to OSU.
The new commissioners also
heard from longtime Umatilla
County Commissioner Bill Hansell
about balancing their personal and
public lives. Cassanelli said that
she enjoyed hearing from Gilliam
County Judge Pat Shaw about
treating other elected officials as
equals.
Cassanelli said she also
learned to not try to change every-
thing in county government, but to
acknowledge what already works
well.
But despite that, Cassanelli
said that she is not sure if she will
attend the other five county college
sessions.
“I didn’t think I was getting
my money’s worth,” she said.
Her AOC scholarship was for
$500. She said that she’s already
repaid $200 of that and plans to
pay the remainder soon. She is
repaying the scholarship as a mat-
ter of principle.
Be informed.

Pot Grower Sues Sheriff’s Office
A resident of Gasquet, Calif., charged with
selling marijuana, is suing the Del Norte County
Sheriff’s Office (DNSO) for “lost profit.”
Kirk Stewart, 25, claims that DNSO should
have returned 93 confiscated plants, or the “fair

The plants were found in a home owned by
Stewart in Crescent City, Calif.

Vierra found him inside the trailer wandering
around, and grabbed one of his shoulders to get
him out, as he didn’t want to leave.
