Better Notice Needed
We wonder if the Oregon Education
Association investigation of problems
at Sandy High School was to be a
secret.
The OEA held an investigation at
the request of several teachers in the
d is tric t last weekend. The in
vestigation was to be public, but
adequate notice was not given to the
local citizens about it.
The OEA had originally scheduled
an investigation over the Memorial
weekend, but cancelled it. The Post
contacted the OEA local represen
tative Clark Peters concerning the
investigation and he indicated no
knowledge of when it would be re
scheduled.
Then on Thursday, the day after

press time for the Post, the OEA
suddenly decides to inform the Post
the investigation is on for the
weekend
Obviously it was too late for the
Post, and even though the daily
papers carried the press release we
w onder how many of our local citizens
knew of the investigation.
To top it all, the OEA made local
persons call long distance to Tigard if
they wished to schedule an ap
pointment with the investigation
committee when it met in Sandy
We believe the OEA has an im
portant role to service the needs of
education and the teachers, but let's
be more open when holding an in
vestigation
Plan Needs Public Input
The next meeting on the city of
Sandy’s comprehensive plan has been
set for June 19, 7:30 p.m., city hall.
The planning committee is anxious
for a large public turnout at this
meeting sim ilar to the turnout at the
last meeting on May 22.
At the May meeting, over 50 per-
sons turned out to discuss the plan
with the committee.
Public input is essential to a good
plan. The meeting June 19 is a chance
for the public to have its say in the
plan. Be sure to attend.
The Swim of Things
The Centennial Swim-A-Thon is
proving to be one of the highlights so
far of this Centennial year in Sandy.

of the swim as the Blue Marlin
Aquatic Club swimmers will com

The swim has done more than just

They are :
1. The Board of Directors of

too much power and authority

over the past months have not
been resolved nor meaningfully
acknowledged
3. The Board has refused to
be conciliatory on any of the
issues raised nor have they
offered to compromise on any
points
4 There has been an unwise
and imprudent expenditure of
District funds without adequate
explanation to the taxpaying
public of the District.
5. Promises and assurances
have been made to various
individuals and groups in the
District without any indication
of possible fulfillm ent

As the Oregon Legislature
entered its sixth month, both
houses continue to face heavy
workloads. In finishing its 20th
week of d e lib e ra tio n s , the
legislature proposed a new tax
relief plan, passed two traffic
safety measures, acted on a
unit pricin g proposal, and
concluded other business.
Eight bills constitute a new
tax relief plan which has been
prepared by a special House
Tax Committee and is now
making its way through the
legislative process.
The Senate has passed and
sent to the Governor a bill to

liquor, wine or beer in motor
vehicles
A consumer bill was returned
to committee by the House
early this week The measure
requires grocers to price food
by unit of weight
The b ill was
returned
because many legislators felt it
wouldn’t resolve the problems
of deceiving the consumer by
labelling products as regular,

samples of products where the
large size actually cost more
per unit of weight than the
smaller size
The House unanim ously
approved and sent to the Senate
a bill requiring most govern
ment records to be open to the
public.
The Senate approved a bill
prohibiting certain live sex
performances. The bill was
returned to committee earlier
in the week so it could be ex
panded into a general anti-
pornography measure
