The essence of Article XI, section 9 was to restrict the activities and functions of the state, county and m u n icip ality to that o f government and forbid their en g ag in g d ire c tly or indirectly in com m ercial enterprises for profit. As I sympathize with those in our county that need work. The Constitution of Oregon should not be bent, twisted or manipulated by our local government in the name of creating jobs. This speedway project is purely governm ent pledging its credit and taxing power to a private enterprise. Let them gain their own financing- like every o th er b u sin ess in Oregon. The constitution of Oregon protects your rights. Protect it, by voting no. It’s wrong whether it affects you or not. (s) Jim and Kelly Doherty Boardman Grieb expresses why he wants to be commissioner To the Editor: To the Citizens of Morrow County: I have had many people ask me why I want to be a co m m issioner. I sim ply tell them , “ I t’s because 1 like to help people solve problems.” The county commission position would allow me to take many of my past leadership experiences and use them to make a positive difference for the citizens of Morrow County. I have been involved in every community within our county in one way or another and I have built relationships that would give me an excellent opportunity to help this county grow and prosper.

In my work with the O regon W heat G row ers League and serving as that organizations state president in 2003, I gained extensive ex p erien ce dealing with policy issues, budgets and decision making. Morrow County is not that far away from Salem or Washington D.C. when you think of all the state and federal m andates we are expected to comply with. I have lobbied these agencies and policy makers as well as testified at state and federal hearings. I understand that process and know what it takes to get results from those efforts. I also understand the political process. Politics is about building relationships and coalitions in order to get things accomplished. I have the qualities necessary to build and strengthen those re la tio n sh ip s for the I To the Editor: Ann Spicer has over 28 y ears o f e x p erien c e working as an attorney, all of those y ears in M orrow County.
