My vision of Portland is a city
where neighborhoods are strong, diver­
sity is celebrated, and economic oppor­
tunity is available to all. But we have a
lot of work to do in making that vision
a reality.
First, 1 support taking action in the
area o f affirm ative ^ction. At the Fire
Bureau, for exam ple, African A m eri­
cans make up a mere 3.9% of the
workforce. That dismal record must be
changed.
Second, I will seek the expansion
o f the state’s “Enterprise Zone” legisla­
tion to include com m ercial and indus­
trial investm ent in N orth/N ortheast
Portland. My com m itm ent to economic
opportunity for all of Portland’s citi­
zens and my hands-on experience with
neighborhood leadership and construc­
tion will be a powerful com bination on
the City Council.
Third, 1 support community polic­
ing, and Chief Potter’s request to hire
additional officers. We can find the
money to hire these officers through
better money managem ent in each of
the city’s bureaus.
My vision of Portland is not w ith­
out its challenges. But it’s a challenge
1 hope to take on as a new, activist
com m issioner on the Portland City
Council.

OCA Misinterprets Portland
Future Focus Plan
The Steering Committee o f Port­
land Future Focus voted to send a letter
to OCA to clarify the Diversity Action
. Plan. Due to accusations made by the
OCA and the response by many citizens
from around the state in regards to the
charges, C o -C h airs C o m m issio n er,
G retchen Kafoury and Eva Parsons
signed a letter that clarified the Future
Focus intentions and statements. No
where in the Future Focus Plan is their
any affirm ative action or special treat­
ment or job quotas directed at hom o­
sexuals. No where in the plan is there any
threat of people losing their jobs because
of non com pliance to diversity standards
and no where in the plan is there a goal
that relates to homosexual curriculum.

“If Measure 4 passes, thousands more trucks will be
needed to do the same job that triples do now. Triples
may seem intimidating, but the alternative will be more
frightening. More trucks sharing our roads mean more
traffic, more accidents and more highway fatalities.
Emil Brandaw
Former Superintendent
Oregon State Police
OCA & The No Rights Committee
Dear Mr. Mabon:
“ In the coming years, changes in
the demographic make up of Portland
and its work force will require that the
people who live and work here accept
and value the ^differences in their fcliow
citizens and workers. Il will be im por­
tant to the economic health of our city
for us to get along with one another and
to work well together, Our world is
increasingly a “global village.: If we
want to prepare our children to operate
effectively within that village, we must
prepare them to live and work with
people different than themselves. To do
this, we must make aconcem ed effort to
alter those attitudes about differences
that create ill will and conflict. Portland
should be known as an open and friendly
community that welcomes and respects
the individuality, unique talents and
contributions of all people regardless of
age, race, gender, ethnicity, sexual ori­
entation, religion, national origin, physi­
cal or mental ability,or financial means.”
Opening statement for the D iver­
sity Action Plan:
The Steering Committee o f Port­
land Future Focus would like to clarify
the Diversity Action Plan in response to
article - “ No Special Rights for Private
Behavior” - in the No Special Rights
tabloid.
Portland Future Focus is Portland’s
strategic plan developed by community
representation on committees that ad­
dressed the issues of Managing Regional
G ro w th , E d u c a tio n , C rim e , the
Economy, Leadership, and Diversity.
The plan, released in August o f 1991,
outlines activities that over 92 organiza­
tions are involved in implementing to
reach a livable future. The plan is writ­
ten with a goal for each topic, strategies
that are steps to be reached in order to
actualize the goal and suggested action
items that could lead to the strategies
and ultimately the achievem ent o f the
goals. The procedure outlined in the
plan is being reviewed by representa­
tives o f the organizations that have been
named as responsible to cany out the
actions. The committee members are
identifying the gaps that need assistance
and the programs that are already work­
ing toward the future in a way that
relates to the plan.
The OCA and the No Special Rights
Committee are not working in harmony
with the plan. In fact the articles written
and public testimony given are not rep­
resentative of the intentions o f the plan.
The OCA writes that the “City of Port­
land has paved the way for special right
across Oregon” through the Portland
Future plan. In its article it is stated:
M O R E A C C ID E N T S
“ According to the Transportation Research Board of
the National Academy of Sciences, banning more
productive trucks like triples will result in more
highway accidents and deaths."
N.B. "Nat" Giustina
Past Member
Oregon Transportation Commission

“ Measure 4 means more trucks and more pollution.
Oregon just doesn't need more air pollution,
particularly in the Willamette Valley from Medford to
Portland.”

COSTS
According to economic studies, Measure 4 will cost
almost $400 million a year--the equivalent of a 4%
hidden sales tax!
If you live in North or NE Portland, you've been
represented by one of the WORST Senators in the
Oregon Senate. NOW, you have a choice...
Finally, a real contender has tossed his hat into the ring. A contender
that has been called BOLD, DIRECT, SOLID by friends and foes alike.
Someone that refuses special interest money and believes that the people
should control the government.
His name is FITZ.
He believes the government should be smaller, and like most families,
should live within its means. He also thinks this government should stay out
of citizens' private lives. He believes in jobs and he's created them in this
district. He lives in the house where he grew up, taking care of his aging
parents. His care is genuine, REAL. Ask neighbors. Ask friends.
And when he travels, he pays for it. Not the voters. That's the way it
will be when Fitz is in the State Senate.
He's a tough businessman -- and a good one. Ask his competitors.
Then ask his customers, and the people that work for him.
FITZ is fair and honest - ask anyone.
S to p M o r e Tru cks.
P o llu tio n ¿I A c c id e n ts
Most of all, he's got guts in a time when the state of Oregon needs
gutsy dreamers and planners and doers. Fitz is all three.
