The other coun ties that have started recall or re peal petitions include Benton, Linn and Clackamas Counties.” This is certainly news to Benton and Linn Counties. No major disagreements on zon ing have taken place in Benton County administration for 15 years. There have been no recall petitions and no repeal of zoning ordinances enacted by the County. In Linn County, zoning has not been pre viously proposed by the County. Obviously then, there have been no such ordinances to repeal, no recall petitions of County Courts, and no great debates on the sub ject. I hope that the above facts may help inform your readers, so that when they vote on June 13 they will have the benefit of correct in formation on both sides of the is sue. Very truly yours, Robert R.
