COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL • JULY 25, 2018 • A9 Voter participation on rise in Lane County By Caitlyn May AARP AUTO INSURANCE FROM THE HARTFORD cmay@cgsentinel.com Voters in Lane County want their voices heard. At least, 81 percent of them do. The latest data, released by the Ford Family Foundation in collaboration with the Or- egon State University Exten- sion Service, reported that Lane County has a voter par- ticipation rate of 81 percent, one percentage point higher than the rest of the state.

The most recent election in May saw just over 28 percent of Lane County voters partic- ipating, a rate that represent- ed 90,329 individual ballots and one that is on par with national statistics concerning off-year elections, or elec- tions that do not feature con- tests for president. And while voter participation is up na- tionwide and Lane County, a large number of people who can vote, aren’t. A recent study by the Cen- ter for American Progress noted that 92 million Amer- icans did not vote in the 2016 presidential election. It did not offer a precict-by-precict breakdown but 2018 number for Lane County are up. In the race of East Lane Commissioner, which rep- resents Cottage Grove, the state of Oregon tallied more than 16,000 votes distributed among five candidates. Oregon’s voting system was touted during the last election cycle when the issue of ballot tampering arose due to the state’s mail-in system. Voters do not go to the polls and the paper ballots are dropped at drop-boxes or mailed in and counted by computers not connected to the internet leaving little room for tam- pering. This year, voters in Ore- gon will face several import- ant decisions including the a possible bill on the state’s “sanctuary” status in regards to undocumented residents, a possible abortion bill, school funding and a choice for gov- ernor. *With 2 Year Price Guarantee with AT120 starting at $59.99 compared to everyday price.

Marine Board to assure boat tags are ‘Ship Shape’ The Oregon State Marine Board, in partnership with 32 county sheriff ’s offices and the Oregon State Police, will be focusing their enforce- ment efforts on boaters with lapsed boat registrations during the weekend of Aug. 4-5, for “Operation Ship Shape.” “So far this year, marine law enforcement officers are reporting unusually high numbers of unregistered boats,” said Randy Henry, Are you a Chamber Member? Ask us how you can become a member today! Contact Travis Palmer, Director of the Chamber of Commerce (541) 942-241 travis@cgchamber.com Boating Safety Program Manager for the Marine Board. “This means that those registered boaters who are playing by the rules are carrying the load for every- one else. Without adequate revenue, the agency is forced to cut funds to our law enforcement programs which ultimately mean fewer patrol boats on the water and longer response times in emergency incidents.” “We’re at a five year high for fatalities so far this year, and we cannot afford to reduce our agency’s services, so we’re simply making sure that all motorboats — any boat with any mechanical propulsion, whether gas, electric, diesel or solar, and all sailboats 12 feet or longer, are currently registered.” Henry added. “The fine for lapsed boat registration is $265, which is far more than the cost of the boat registra- tion itself.

When collected, those fines go into the state’s general fund. It’s better for all of us if you register your boat now than wait for a fine.” Motorboat registrations are $4.50 per foot, rounded to the highest foot plus $5 for the aquatic invasive species prevention program. For example: a 16-foot outboard motorboat would cost $77. Registrations are valid for two calendar years. Boaters can renew their boat registration online at w w w. b o at o r e g o n . c o m / store, or can visit their local registration agent. Boaters can print off a temporary permit after successfully completing their transac- tion online or will be issued a temporary permit through an agent for an additional fee. For assistance renewing online, contact the Marine Board at marine.board@ oregon.gov or 503-378- 8587.
