My sentiments exactly. But Morrow County altogether is a pretty insignifi cant pan of haMern Oregon We're not very big geographically, nor do we have a very large population And all of Eastern Oregon doesn't amount to much state wide, politically, at least And in the overall scheme of things, j By Ed Glenn all of the State of Oregon is pretty in significant Oregon accounts for about I % of many measures of national significance I % of its population. I % o f its industrial output, the list goes on It's state and national issues that are really important to us Wc may get excited about county taxes but they don't hold a candle to state and federal income taxes Wc may be concerned about county roads, or employee's salaries, or elected officers, but these county issues don't amount to a drop in the bucket compared to similar state and federal issues We're fighting over nothing important and unable to team up on anything that is important You might say that Morrow County is like a speck in the eye of the smallest dwarf And as long as we are divided. North from South, that speck all but disappears The division is not simply in two We drop from insignificant to nothing There is hope, however But not from burying our head in the sand and saying "I don't want to hear about it." There are Mime strong sentiments dividing us and we must deal with them as mature adults The recent popula tion shift from South to North is a fact The divergent geographic and economic differences are real The social and cultural differences immense Only if we arc willing to step up and hear about it. and deal with it can wc ever hope to have any influence as a unified county out in the real world where it counts. I have long hoped that I could proudly say "I'm from Morrow Coun ty." without having to answer the follow up question.
