A political advertisement published in the Bandon Western World supporting Fred Messerle reveals a long list of supporters from the business and economic development community ranging from the chamber rats Al Pettit, Jon Barton and Timm Slater to Cal Mukumoto of the tribe’s CEDCO arm and Mrs Bob Main’s employer, Mary Schamehorn, editor of the Myrtle Point Herald and mayor of Bandon, Joe Benetti, Joseph Drew of ORC, Ron Stuntzner, John Knutson, Messerle’s wife Sandy and more. These people may have something to gain by electing Fred Messerle as a commissioner but the rest of us do not.
