Newspaper Page TextThe Shedd Institute www.theshedd.org - 541.434.7000 t! igh n o T Loudon Wainwright III Thu, March 31 Karla Bonoff Fri April 1 She has some other good ideas, such as exploring the idea of free public transportation, as Corvallis does, but her major point is that the entire community needs to be involved in these decisions. The recent controversy over the zoning changes on South Willamette have shown how important it is that decisions not be made by city staff in an autocratic and unaccountable manner. Lee DeVeau Eugene MORE ENDORSEMENTS In the Slant for Feb. 25, the Weekly failed to add a few other endorsements made by the Democratic Party of Lane County (DPLC). A very important endorsement was for Pete Sorenson, who represents the South Eugene district in Lane County. He’s been a county commissioner for 19 years, always adhering to the progressive values of most Lane County residents. While it may have been a unanimous decision for DPLC to endorse Sorenson, it’s vital to keep the one progressive on the board running a government that serves more than 360,000 people, has a budget of more than $450 million per year, and employs 1,300 people. Sorenson has made it clear that his job is to return the Board of Commissioners to its progressive values by working with other progressive candidates to help get them elected to the board. It takes two commissioners to get a motion seconded and start a conversation, and by continuing to have Sorenson and working to elect Tony McCown in the North Eugene District (also endorsed by DPLC), Lane County can begin to have those progressive values back on the Board of Commissioners.

Ralph Wombat Eugene WASTED SPACE The March 10 article and artwork about Springfield’s nightlife were a perfect match, completely worthless. It’s wasting space like this that dooms the print media. Just think of all the great cannabis ads you could have put in that space.
