tunity of using personal attack
and smear on a political oppo
nent," Eymann declared.

seek a garnishment of the Lane
County lawmaker's legislative pay
to get $79.65 rent he liadn t paid
for a state-owned house lie occu
pled during the session.
Eymann said today he was
"amazed at tlie board's sneaky
personal attack," especially after
he had discussed a number of
state and national issues with Ap
pling just before the board's meet
ing Tuesday.
"Appling made no effort to in
form me of the final amount due
or of any action planned by tlie
board," Eymann declared.
