Horning: City needs to take action

The FBI (headquarters in Washington, D.C., pictured
here) is warning state officials to boost their election
security in light of evidence that hackers breached the
election systems of a pair of states.
Hackers: State
data has been
breached before
Continued from Page 1A
In Oregon, voter registra-
tion information is considered
public record. Although there
are exemptions to releasing
certain details submitted by
voters to the state, the public
already has a right to access
the dates of birth, home
addresses, party affiliation
and voting histories for most
of the state’s registered voters,
according to Atkins.
If you are a corrections
or police officer, or if public
access to your voter registra-
tion information otherwise
poses a risk to your safety, a
county clerk or the Depart-
ment of Justice can seal that
information, Atkins said.
Although voters can access
their own registration informa-
tion online, members of the
public seeking voter registra-
tion information must go to a
county clerk’s office to view
registration information or file a
public records request with the
particular county or the state.
Concerns have been raised
in recent years that such infor-
mation could be accessed
through states’ centralized
databases and used for finan-
cial or political gain.
There have also been wor-
ries that voter registration
databases could be altered
— artificially inflated with
“ghost” voters or that actual
voters could be deleted from
the official list.
But Atkins said that the
risk to voters’ personal infor-
mation being accessed surrep-
titiously is low.
“At this point we feel that
we are pretty secure,” Atkins
said. She added that while her
agency took the threat of a
breach of personal information
“very, very seriously,” voters
should not be concerned about
the outcome of elections based
on possible threats to personal
information.
The database contain-
ing voter information is sep-
arate from the system that
records votes, which in turn is
not connected to the internet,
Atkins said.
Among other duties, the
secretary of state’s infor-
mation technology employ-
ees monitor who “pings” or
tries to access information
maintained by the agency. IT
employees also monitor sud-
den changes in voter registra-
tion records. Atkins said she
did not “like to talk about the
specifics” of the security mea-
sures the agency takes.
The Secretary of State’s
Office also has a security plan
that it shares with the state’s
chief information officer,
Atkins said.
But state data has been
breached in the past.
The Secretary of State
Office’s business registry and
campaign finance databases
were breached in early 2014
and the Oregon Employment
Department was subject to a
similar breach later that year.
Atkins said that after the
2014 breach, there was “some
pretty good intelligence work
by our folks about what was
needed to prevent that from
happening again.”
The Capital Bureau is a
collaboration between EO
Media Group and Pamplin
Media Group.
Voters in November will fill
two open seats on the Astoria
City Council. City Councilor
Russ Warr chose not to run for
a fourth term representing the
city’s east side, while Coun-
cilor Drew Herzig, who rep-
resents the south side, is mov-
ing to Massachusetts and will
not seek a second term.
Bruce Jones, a former com-
mander of U.S. Coast Guard
Sector Columbia River, and
Cory Pederson, a music
teacher and conductor, are
campaigning to replace Warr
in Ward 4.
Tom Brownson, a retired
contractor, is the only candi-
date to file and will succeed
Herzig in Ward 2.
A contested race in
Warrenton
In Warrenton, City Com-
missioner Pam Ackley is fac-
ing opposition for her Position
1 seat from challenger Ryan
Lampi, who serves on the
Planning Commission.
Lampi, a project manager
at Big River Construction Inc.
in Astoria, graduated from
Warrenton High School and
Oregon State University. His
term on the Planning Commis-
sion is slated to end December
2019.
Ackley, a Realtor with
Windermere, was appointed
last year to fill the vacancy left
when Mark Kujala was elected
mayor in November 2014.
Meanwhile, commission-
ers Henry Balensifer and
Tom Dyer are unopposed for
re-election in Positions 2 and
3.

bridges are fixed,” he said.
“The odds are very good stu-
dents won’t be in school when
it hits. Wouldn’t it be some-
thing to have an earthquake
hit on a weekend, when no
kids are in school, no lives are
saved through the school dis-
trict and then we let every-
body else in town die because
we haven’t built bridges yet?
It’s well-meaning, but it’s
backward.”
Whether schools or bridges
take precedence, the city needs
to take action.
“The tsunami is possibly
going to happen in our lives,”
he said. “We need to be ready
for it. We’re morally obligated
to get on with it.”
City Councilor Randy
Frank, meanwhile, is running
for re-election in Wards 1 and
2 and Councilor Seth Morrisey
is bidding for a second term in
Ward 4.

could be completed at a cost
of about $50 million and save
thousands of lives, he said.
The city should start looking
at funding mechanisms now,
with options including added
fees for water bills, road levies
or outside funds from state and
federal governments. “If we
can’t get money from outside,
we need to tax ourselves,” he
said.
Seaside needs to show
some “skin in the game” when
approaching state and fed-
eral agencies for funds, Horn-
ing said, “to show we’re doing
everything we can and still
can’t pull it off.”
A Seaside School District
bond vote is expected to ask
voters for nearly $100 mil-
lion to raise money for a new
school campus outside the tsu-
nami zone.
Horning is not sure that’s
not putting the cart before the
horse.
“I think the school bond
ought to be delayed until the
In Seaside, Horning likened
tsunami preparedness to brac-
ing for war.
“The city has done things
the way they’re accustomed
to doing them,” Horning said.
“This calls for a different type
of thinking. The risk of the
next tsunami is so imminent
that we need to make this the
equivalent of a war footing.”
Horning was elected to the
Sunset Empire Park and Recre-
ation District board eight years
ago and continues to serve in
that role. He is a Seaside plan-
ning commissioner and former
member of the parks advisory
committee. A member of the
board of directors of the North
Coast Land Conservancy, he is
a founder of the city’s tsunami
advisory group.

Horning works as a geo-
logical consultant based in
Seaside.
“The tsunami advisory
group gave the city of Seaside
a tsunami strategic investment
plan,” he said. “It established
the scenario we thought they
should be planning for. We
gave them a timeline, we gave
them a budget and proposed a
mechanism in which the city
could raise funds. They said
‘thanks,’ and the next words
out of their mouths were, ‘now
let’s move on to more import-
ant stuff.’”
Replacing the city’s bridges
could save thousands of lives,
he said.
“Right now there are so
many bridges that will col-
lapse people will be stranded
and won’t be able to get to
safety,” he said. “They will be
killed. The obvious thing to do
is construct bridges as fast as
you can.”
