Jesse Himmelsbach. 61. of Maker
ii the Democratic candniale for
Slate Representative 59
Himmelsbach lx-gan public ser
vice an appointed deputy district
attorney in Maker »here he moved
in 1755 He was then elected to the
office for m * consecutive term * until
1981 »hen he »ent into prtvalr la»
practice full lime
Himmelshach describe* a full
background before hi* move to
Maker a* including being a clerk for
J 0 Denny, hi* first job out of high
school He worked in the shipyards
in f’orllund, served as an Air force
Navigator from 1942 to I'M? and then
fie» planes commercially a* a crop
duster in Texas liefore returning to
the University of Oregon to finish
college Himmelsbach and his »ife,
Kathleen have five children and two
grandchildren
“ My top priority is jobs Getting
the people in Oregon fully employ
ed," says Himmelsbach
"To use an old proverb
If we
build a bigger mouse trap, we ll
have people heating a path to our
door "
He explains that because of Ore
gun's red tape, businesses »ho are
looking Oregon over, will go to
Texas or perhaps California
“Oregon * high property taxes are
keeping potential businesses from
moving to Oregon and businesses
already here are leaving," he con
tinues
Himmelsbach state* that he is
against Measure No Two hut if it is
passed by the voters, " I will propose
an experimental package for a five
percent sales lax for only four years
and then the voters must vote it in
again if they like it "
He continues with his stand on gun
control saying “The place to enforce
gun control is at home You leach
young people how to handle fire
arms and not to hurt others
tin the subject of Kajneesh puram,
he states. " I am very strong on
separation of church and state
I
believe that the Kajneesh problem
needs to lie addressed to the legisla
live assembly Oregon's residency-
should tie returned to six months,
but I'm afraid it's like locking the
barn door after the horse« is stolen "
"The state legislature should ere
ate a cause of action which would
hold corporations, such as Kajneesh
puram. libel for the public burden
that is occuring at present,” he
continues
" I intend, if elected, to hit the
ground running " concludes Him-
melsbach
Ray French
Ihie to the fact that Eastern
Oregon has such a large land base
and scattered population, we need
someone who can voice our prof)
lerns. " and Kay French says he can
do just that as state representative
for District 59
Morn into ranching in the Mutter
Creek area. F'rench. age 57. says he
is still active on his ranch, now on
Hinton Creek For that reason, he is
for a shorter more productive legis
lalure "I want to go down and get
the Job done "
F'rench says he feels very strongly
at mu I Oregon's economic develop
men! and providing jobs for Oregon
lanx "Lumber and agriculture has
rertamly taken it on the chin.” he
adds, "Government should be pre
pared to make it easier for business
es who want to come to Oregon I
don't like the government to be in
business
They need to provide
enabling laws or cut red tape to help
small businesses They need more
flexibility and that's where local
administering comes in, and local
land use."
F'rench explains that laind Use
laiws should tie administered by
local people w ho are more aware of
area problems than someone in
Salem
In relation to Kujnecsh puram. our
land use laws should be looked at
there also, he continues
"I think
we ll also have to look at our election
laws I ’m not for registering and
voting the same day I t ’s not fair for
people to just move in and dilute the
vote* of people already living
there "
On sales tax. he says, " I ’ve been
against sales (ax especially the sales
tax proposed by the last legislature
There were loop holes where it
provided the legislature to change
exemptions In other words, there
were ways to raise property taxes
back to where they were And then
the sales tax would have been just
another tax "
Should a new sales tax be intro
duced, F'rench says " I'd Just have to
take a look at it That's where the
common sense in the legislature
comes in Tile only way I'd bo for
one (sales tax) is if it permanently
locks down or replaces property
tax."
