G-T endorses Abrams
On Nov. 6 voters have an opportunity to elect a
qualified, experienced and honorable person to the
position of Circuit Court Judge of the sixth district for
Morrow and Umatilla Counties.
Bob Abrams is a familiar face to many in Morrow
County, and his experience and honesty is well known to
us We have no reservations in endorsing Bob for this
position, know ing that he is the best candidate, and will
do an exceptional job.
Over the years Bob has given much of his time
toward betterment of the community, including serving
on the Blue Mountain Community College Board of
Directors, helping to form the original Port of Morrow,
involvment with the Morrow County Mental Health
Advisory Committee and much more.
W'ith these
thoughts in mind, voters in the county have the
opportunity to help elect the most qualified candidate.
Vote for Abrams Nov. 6.
Stringer's the one
In the race for the Senatoral seat. Democrat Mark
Stringer is like a breath of fresh air blowing through the
campaign.
A hard worker with good ideas, Stringer has
managed to grasp the problems of our district and
articulate them to the voters.
With his deep
background in agriculture, we feel Stringer will be the
best representative for our area, keeping his eyes on
those issues which affect agriculture, and looking for
ways to expand agriculture s markets
He realizes that water resources, electrical rates and
economic development are important to us, and has
vowed to work for our interests in these areas We feel
Stringer is best for the job.
Vote French
Get out your pencils and vote for common sense in the
legislature next Tues Ray French has used common
sense in his campaign for Dist. 59 state representative
throughout, and we feel he will deliver. Knowing the
needs of Eastern Oregon, and, we feel, willing to stand
up for these needs in Salem, French will be an effective
legislator, who will, in time, be able to get things done.
His agriculture background is a plus, and his ability to
work with others for legislation will be a real asset in
Salem. lA*t’s send Hay to Salem Nov. 6.
Don 't lose control -
vote ‘no on 2
’
If you’re a property owner. Ballot measure 2 w ill save
you money-for now,
A measure that would limit
property tax to 1.5 percent of 1981 assessed value, or the
amount levied for 1988 84. whichever is lesser, will
probably hit the hardest in our school system, where
the district will lose between $1.3 and $15 million
dollars in income.
This is quite a blow to funding, and a blow we do not
feel the state legislature will let happen over the long
run. The possibility of a new tax, sales tax most likely,
w ill be instituted to take up the slack in school funding
lost through measure 2 This means more money
coming to our district from the state level, (the schools
already receive basic school support) and a shift to the
state level of more influence over our schools. In the
past, voters have their say each year over the sch«x>l
budget. Vote yes if your satisfied, vote no if you’re not.
With more funding coming from the state, local voters
will lose at least some of their direct voice in school
funding, with those in Salem deciding these issues for
us.
Don’t lose one of our remaining voices in government
financing, vote no on No. 2.
