Vote for Padberg Please join me in the vote on May 17, to retain Marvin Padberg on the Port of Morrow Com mission. I had the pleasure of serving with Marvin for many years on the Morrow County Planning Commis sion. He showed remarkable insight for the entire county. Marvin has a remarkable ability to see the issues, from both sides, and come to an acceptable agreement for all concerned. His lead ership was missed when he retired from the planning commission. Heppner has one of the highest tax rates in the state. Much of it was ac crued while the challenger was Heppner’s city man ager. Among other things, he went against the wishes of the people in the pur chase of some expensive real estate. Please vote with me for Marvin Padberg.
