The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, April 20, 1978-TfIREE
VicAtiyeh objects to 'loose-jointed9 state government
during recent Heppner campaign stop
. "The important issue in tiiis
campaign is who can run state
government," said Vic Atiyeh,
Republican gubernatorial
candidate, during a stop in
Heppner April 7. "The dif
ference between me and
any other candidate is that I
t) can do it better than any other
candidate. That is the reason
I'm running for governor."
. ( Atiyeh pointed to what he
called the "loose-jointedness"
of present state administra
tion and said much-needed
.direction to its policies is
lacking.
., "I have a very strong
. 'feeling about the way state
government should be run...
, The longer we wait to pull it
together the harder it will be
' to recover," he said.
,- Atiyeh said that his part in
, building important bills in his
!, 19 years in the state legisla
ture gives him experience and
I an advantage that none of the
, other candidates have: credi
bility with state employes and
credibility with the state
legislature.
"They know that I don't play
i games and I don't play
. politics," Atiyeh said.
n Adressing an audience of
. approximately 15 county resi
dents at his campaign dinner
gtop at the West of Willow
. Friday, Atiyeh said that while
candidates, including himself,
, ask questions about issues and .
. problems in communities like
i Heppner while campaigning,
once elected they never ask
them again. Atiyeh proposed
instigating government "lis
tening posts", regular round-table
discussions in each
community, to establish con

"I don't agree with the
theory that 'government
knows best'," Atiyeh said. He
added he was concerned with
"limiting legislation", which
limits individuals' options in
certain areas to gain some
benefit elsewhere.
"Most often there is a better
way and most often a price
you pay for a benefit you think
you are getting," he said.
In a question and answer
period following his short
speech, Atiyeh said he consi
dered the issue of California
trying to get surplus water
from the Columbia River a
"non-issue" because he didn't
think a surplus existed. Atiyeh
remarked that he supported
Bob Straub's "over my dead
body" stance: "I would be less
dramatic but just as firm."
Atiyeh said Rep. Al Ullman,
chairman of the House Ways
and Means Committee, should
be able to take care of getting
the Bombing Range "a small
piece of ground the Navy
doesn't need" back to the
county by himself.
If elected, Atiyeh plans to
meet routinely with the state's
national Congressional lead
ers to discuss issues offecting
Oregon: "We're all in the boat
together, we should work as a
team...I haven't seen that
approach used before."
Atiyah said the present
160-acre limitation on irriga- b
tion should be determined on
an equivalency basis depend
ing on the productivity of the
land, not a set acreage. He
commented that a sealed bid
for BLM grazing land was
