BOGLE THANKS
VOTERS
City Commissioner Dick Bogle
has issued a “ Thank you” to the
voters who overwhelmingly approved
his Public Safety Levy in the June 27
election.
“ The best part of this victory is
the fact that every man, woman and
child in the City of Portland will
benefit,” Bogle said. “ Public safety
is everyone’s top concern, and pub
lic safety is going to be greatly im
proved.”
“ To say I am pleased would be
the understatement of the century,”
said Bogle, who not only introduced
the levy, but single-handedly raised
$35,000 to wage a billboard and radio
campaign, and made close to 30 public
and media appearances on behalf of
the m easure-all within the space of
one month.
One of the public safety improve
ments will come in the form of an
enhanced 911 system, with the cur
rent equipment, 911 operators spend
precious time trying to determine the
caller’s address. With E-911 equip
ment the address automatically flashes
on a screen.
“ This new system will save the
lives of people who are ill, injured,
too frightened to talk, or too young to
know the address,” Bogle said.
