Publishers Letters to the Editor Meeting contradicted spirit of openness To the Editor It has come to my attention that four members of the newly ap pointed Medical Service transition Team called an organizational meeting and intentionally neglected to notify the other three members o f the group, or the public, of the lime or location o f their meeting This is an abject contradiction of the spirit o f openness and honesty that has prevailed thus far in the County Court's attempt to resolve the health care issuev The meeting was held by Mr D a lry m p le . Hoardman C ity Manager. Mr M iller, Port o f Mor row Manager. M r Scegcr, County Planner, and M r Hcmpcl. PMH Administrator As a resident o f the North end. I Icel offended hy the tactics o f these representatives of the Court I have written and spoken to Judge Carlsn. asking that these four appointees he removed from the committee to preverve the credibility of the Coun ly Court In cloving. I would like to apologize to the citizens o f the South end lor the indisc rctions of the North end partic ipants in this regret table incident The majority o f us believe that planning for the public good should he done in a public forum Sincerely. IsiD ca n Mason Hoardman Supports supercollider for county To the Editor Many citizens have been wonder mg about my silence these last few weeks If it is any reassurance, to quote Mark T wain, rumors ol my demise arc. al best, premature I'm olten told that I never have a nice thing to say when I write letters to the editor I would like to take this opportunity to say how nice the weather is so I can go hack to com plaining jhi>ut everything else Over the nest several months, many decisions w ill he nude that w ill affect the future o f Morrow County I think they should he discussed openly Several Port Com miss loners arc in favor o f a plan to ship garbage upriver from Van couver. Wa to a dumpsitc in Mor row County The plan may also in elude garbage from Portland as well The Port manager and commis sioners support such plans because ( 11 they produce jobs and (2) they might increase county revenue Perhaps more unfortuanlc is the image o f Morrow County that is conveyed to others I 'll he the first to admit (hat the local economy is had I hadn't realized that we were so desperate that some would sell our future pile ol garbage Frankly. I'm shocked that land considered loo precious for industrial development by state environmental groups is prime lor a dumping ground the sc cond that Portland whistles I think we have taken enough garbage from west o f the Cascades And while we may gain jobs in the shod run. what industries w ill want to locate in a county that is Oregon's garbage pile ’ Now some w ill argue that the gar hage we get from Portland w ill h< clean garbage (here w ill he no pollu lion problem To them I reply Siniplot History tells us that (he Simplol tecdlot wasn't supposed to smell It your sinuses jr c working on a typical sunancr night, you know better What guarantee do we have th jt the Port's garbage pile w ill he any better' W ill the ra t. and Hies he instructed to shop in Hcrmiston ’ Perhaps the port w ill give us the straight story prior to the March elections Another important issue is the Supercollider President Reagan supports building the collider At least 11 states are in competition to he (he site Among sites in Oregon, the Morrow Umatilla region is oh stoutly the best, yet a state commit tec favored a site in the Valley i The valley vile is geologically ques tionahlc and was chosen only lor political reasons J Governor Neil Goldschmidt w ill make a decision on an Oregon site sometime soon Many people have tried to contact the (iovemor to con vince him to reconsider the Hoard man site atul to point out the value of a site th jt could he supponed hy three states So tar. to paraphrase the G o v e rn o r, we have gotten “ Nowhere" (ioldschmidt has no time to meet with us As luck would have it.
