SIXTEEN * Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, October 28, 1992 Letters to the Editor Miller will improve efficiency To the Editor: Randy Miller is not a career politician. He has personal, real- world experience of the impact government regulations have upon individuals and businesses. He is endorsed for secretary of state by both the Farm Bureau and the Ag PAC, an organization consisting of the Oregon Cat tlemen's Assn., the Oregon Wheat League, Blue Mountain Potato Growers, Oregon Water Resources, Oregon Food Pro cessors Council, Oregon Grass Seed Growers, plus many other ag-related groups. His candidacy is also supported by Norma Paulus, superintendent of public instruction, and endors ed by Rep. Bob Smith and Rep. Chuck Norris. Randy Miller’s varied experience should improve efficiency in state government. Additionally, he understands where East Oregonians are com ing from. (s) Merlin Hughes McEUigott cares about county To the Editor: We are writing to urge Morrow County voters to elect Don McEUigott for Morrow County Commissioner. A native of Morrow County and a World War II veteran, he received a degree in business ad ministration from the University of Portland. Don has been a member of the lone School Board, the Morrow County School Board, chairman of the lone Rural Fire District Board and secretary-treasurer for the lone Rural Fire District. He has been a rancher for 46 years. As our former county judge and long-time head of the Long Creek Cattlemen's Association. Don has experience in govern ment: he also spent five years on the executive committee of JPTA Consortium (27 counties) and was the organizer of Counties Computer Group. By working with other counties he was able to obtain more benefits for Mor row County. He saved us the tax payers, many thousands of dollars by getting available federal funds for our county roads and highways, including the over pass near Irrigon. He and War ren McCoy worked very hard for that one. Don knows and cares about the problems of Morrow County. We were very pleased when he in itiated a summer program for “ high risk kids” . The youths worked under supervision in the two county parks, and were paid a minimum wage weekly. One- third of this wage went back to the county for restitution, one- third was for their groceries, (they cooked their own meals and cleaned up afterwards), and the last third they kept for spending money. This program had a 75 percent success ratio. Judge McEUigott got funds available for this program from the Job Train ing Act and from the Juvenile Services Commission. With Measure 5 looming over us we feel that it is imperative to have someone with governmen tal experience, who knows the county and its people, as county commissioner. Don McEUigott is that person. In his own words, “ the county is the last bulwark between the citizen and over reaching federal bureaucratic regulation.” Please join us in casting your vote for Don McEUigott on Nov. 3. (s) Eileen Saling To the Editor: In reading the various letters for candidates, 1 notice the trend favors the challenging party because they are “ honest upright and to be trusted.” I’m sure most of them are but the implication is that the incumbent is the opposite of these virtues, so you better get rid of them. When progress is being made it is ridiculous to make a change of the incumbent. I would encourage a favorable vote for Louis Carlson as Mor row County Judge based on his record while in office. He is a lifelong resident of Morrow C ounty and has a distinct concern for its progress. His interest is county-wide and it is reflected in road improvements program. I believe he has done an excellent job in handling county finances in the light of measure 5 impact. We can show our appreciation for a job well done by returning Louis Carlson to office as coun ty judge. (s) Chester A. Wilson Irrigon Glenn countywide representation To the Editor: It is very important that everyone in north Morrow Coun ty get out and vote on November 3. Without your for vote for Ed Glenn for Morrow County Com missioner, the north end of the county could lose its representa tion on the county court. For 40 years we have held a seat on the county court and that is more important now than ever before. Ed knows the problems that growth in this end of county has brought and will work hard to solve them. We need this representation. Folks in Boardman and Irrigon must turn out to continue the tradition of countywide representation. (s) Joe Tatone (s) Alice Tatone Boardman treatment on a county wide basis. With all due respect to Don McElligot’s long and distinguish ed record of public service to Morrow County. I believe Ed to be more aware of the needs and issues of the north end of the county than is Don. I urge you to take this into con sideration before making your choice on November 3. Yours very truly, (s) John A. Prag To the Editor: I have never done this for a candidate before. I am writing to urge voters to support Don McEUigott in his bid for Morrow County commissioner. I am not very political, but I’m old enough to recognize an honest man and I believe I’m smart enough to identify a thinker as opposed to a speaker of empty words. Although I known Don McEUigott for over 30 years, I don’t pretend to know where he stands on each particular issue, I simply know that he stands for Morrow County, all the time, on every issue. I know that this man cannot be bought, cannot be brib ed, cannot be intimidated, and, most importantly, cannot be out talked when it comes to represen ting the best interests of Morrow County. This man will speak and act for us without fear and without regard to any self-interest. Please help elect him. We need this kind. Sincerely, (s) Anita M. Boyer Wallace cares about eastern Oregon To the Editor: On November 3 you will have the opportunity to express your opinions about every level of government. When you go to the polls to vote, please remember to vote for Jeff Wallace for district court judge. Jeff has lived in eastern Oregon all of his life. He cares about eastern Oregon. I’ve known Jeff for more than 30 years and have always been im pressed by his intelligence, kind ness, and honesty and sense of fairness. Jeff has a wide variety of legal experience in his background and his experience as a prosecutor will serve him well as he seeks to keep our streets and com munities safe places in which to live. Please remember to vote for Jeff Wallace on November 3. he will represent us well. Thank You, (s) Virginia Grant Gatfield Weston ELEC T DON McELLIGOTT Morrow County Commissioner Experienced Honest Fair Continue north end representation To the Editor. With regards to the Morrow County Commissioner race bet ween Ed Glenn of Boardman and Don McEUigot of lone, I would ask the voters of Morrow Coun ty to look beyond the individuals and consider that the North end of Morrow County has been represented for 40 years by a representative from this end of the county.
