Melissa Cribbins, candidate for commissioner, along with her husband Troy Cribbins and president-elect of the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce, Brooke Walton and husband Paul Walton have formed a company to produce an organic potato vodka in Coos County. According to the Center for Disease Control alcohol related diseases cost $225 billion a year and is implicated in 85,000 American deaths annually. According to the Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, “…health risks of drinking include increased incidence of cancers of the liver, esophagus, throat, and larynx (voice box), as well as liver cirrhosis, immune system problems, brain damage, and heart problems”. Despite all available information about the dangers of excessive alcohol consumption, many people continue to abuse the drug just the same. Physical addiction to vodka can be reached faster, if abused, than other forms of alcohol like beer or wine.
The only reason for bringing this all up is because Cribbins recently received a $1,000 contribution from the Coalition for a Healthy Oregon PAC because, according to the PAC, she embraces “…the goals and objectives of the Coalition for a Healthy Oregon”. Somehow, the two, health and vodka, just don’t seem to go together
I can think of a lot of things Vodka goes well with…
Cranberry Juice, Orange Juice, Pink Lemonade, Vicodin, Soma, or even straight up out of the bottle after stashed in the freezer. Whats wrong with a little Potato Juice?
BUTTTTTTT, as we were informed, she likes the stuff. How can she be a full time commissioner and a part time bar maid forming a company during the next six months and being in production in the spring time as she stated. The lady is a cruel joke. I also note that she is again a molecular scientist, something that she has never claimed, and something that the company that she worked for while going to school said she was not. Why must her pals at the World paper continue to bullshit their readers? Her pals also reported that she designed a water purification system for NASA. NASA says she was not the principal engineer or the program manager.
And, speaking of cruel jokes, I note that your friend Bob Arnold who has eight Main signs on his van, two main signs in his yard, one Main sign on the forclosed property across from him, one Gurney sign on the van, now has two Slater signs in the yard. Huh!! Slater was one of the three who told us that we are too stupid to cast ballots.
