Letters to the Editor
Kemp, Doherty deserve support
not k n o w ’ Under norm al c ir
cum stances. a re c a ll is fo r
malfeasance in o ffic e , hut the
charges do not say this or attempt to
prose this It is hard to hclicsc that
all the people who signed the peti
tion read the charges and realized
they signed an indictment against the
Hoard Therefore, read what is on
your ballot so you can judge for
yourself the merit o f a recall If
either or hah Hoard members would
be recalled ihctc would he no spec ial
election to fill their positions The
remaining Hoard members would
appoint their replacements U n fo r
tunately. the cost o f this harassment
must come out o f the sc hool budget
I. lo r one. believe that the Hoard
has carried out your wishes over the
last year and these tw o members.
Marcia Kemp and H ill Doherty,
deserve your support

Vote NO and mail your ballot now

Hopefully. a new combination o f

To the Fditor
During the last legislative session,
a majority o f the legislators signed
letters to the LC D C indicating their
opposition to the scscrc restrictions
on use o f torest land being propos
ed by the LC D C W hile the LCDC'
did delay action, now that the
legislators have gone home, they
have again announced a hearing on
these restrictions and plans to adopt
them this year
It is apparent th jt the LC D C has
become a Frankenstein over which
the legislature has lost all control

Recall o f a politician is the ultimate
rejection, lar more serious than mere
rejection o f a reelect ion hid Because
there is no oppming candidate, the vote
is simply " y e a " or "nay " R ccj II is
much like saying, "any other politician
is better than this o n e ."
I think recall is appropriate when an
office holder is a cro o k. involved in
traud. taking bribes, or otherwise
engaging in conduct that eminently
threatens the safety o f the
charge For example. I think a
Treasurer who systematically
from taxpayer receipts should
recalled
I don't, however, think recall is ap
propriate where there is simply a difference o f opinion about political
philosophy
As I sec it, that is the case with the current recall election involving
School Hoard members H ill Doherty and Marcia Kemp Reading the O f
licial Ballot statements for demanding rec all and the responses thereto does
m»thing to shed light on the real issues In my view, these two directors
have become merely the- scapegoats of a political philosophy shared equally
by all members o f the hoard and inc identally by a majority o f the voters
in M orrow County
Ihe real issue. I believe, centers around compensation for teachers Ihe
maiority view, reflected by the hoard, is that teachers, especially those
with experience and advanced training should not be compensated as well
in M orrow County as they would be in most other sim ilarly sized districts
across the State of Oregon lh a t view is supported by the belief that those
who have devoted their lives to the education o f children, advanced their
own education to lhat purpose, further advanced their learning through
years o f doing, can and are doing no better at the jo b than just any person
o ff the street
Oh to he sure, there are minor justifications "R eal teachers don't
strike " "R e a l teachers don’t walk picket lines " “ There arc tliousands
o f good teas hers out there to replace our own " “ Real teachers don't bring
in outside negotiators to represent them " " I 'm glad to see all the teachers
leave the d istrict, if they don't want to live here, we don’t need them
"M o rro w County can't afford to pay comparable wages “ “ Our kids can't
rc jd " “ I don’t care about credentials, all a teacher has to he is warm
and caring ”
The subject hoard members simply hold the point of view that the com
parative value o f teachers, especially those with advanced education and
experience, is relatively low I think the remaining board members and
the m ajority o f voters hold the same view The proponents o f recall hold
a different point o f view In my vie w . that i n not a compelling reason lor
recall Even d the two hoard members were recalled, the remaining hoard
members would appoint their replacements It is likely that tin.- replacements
with the same point o f view would he selected I think it highly unlikely
that a i h.mgc o f philosophy could be effected by recall o f less than an cn
tire board
Is this a tw o faced person on my part ’ I think not. given my helicl that
the hoard including the tw o subject members, accurately reflects the ma
jority view 1 think the goal should be to change Ihe m ajority view, not
merely oust a couple o f hoard members I think there is much that can
he done to do so
consideration
I doubt that there is anyone in
M orrow County who wanted things
to come to this I certainly did not
However, it is time lor a change and
this recall is M orrow County 's op
portunity to achieve that change
I am asking each voter to weigh
the circumstances o f recent events in
his or her own mind II. as a Mor
row County voter, you do not tcel
that you have been p ro p e rly
represented on our School Board,
then I urge you to join me in voting
lor the recall
