In order for the CCAP PAC board to sell its administrator agenda to the public it has adopted a strategy of first convincing the public the county government is broken and second that the very candidates it has contributed $10,250 to are incompetent. Jon Barton a member of CCAP admitted during a recent forum that the current commission which includes Fred Messerle has created a disaster. “You’ve seen what a committee of three can do without an administrator”, he said. Then referring to adding two commissioners he added, “imagine a committee of five”. Barton also acknowledged the commissioners are unqualified and later, at the LOWV, Cam Parry proved him right with an adjective rich, hyperbole laden debate where he actually recited a parody of The Twelve Days of Christmas. According to Barton, the county needs an administrator to provide leadership, something Messerle obviously is lacking.
A few highlights are included in the video above including ARRRG panelist John Shank’s superb scolding of Parry for his excessive use of the “if and the extreme”.
With out mentioning any names nor calling people names (they may deserve them) I will tell you who read this: “A Former High Ranking Official of ORC to me today that the ORC backed the wrong people when they gave $5k to the PAC!” This just shows the Covert Act of buying the ‘Right People’ to push your ‘Corporation’ hidden agenda!! Get the mission accomplished at all cost!
We, the ‘unwashed’ have known this mode of operation from the establishment of our USA, and the World knows it also!
America Politics are for Sale, to the highest buyer! The money maybe more ‘transparent’ or is it!! Big PAC, Big Corp (not considered individuals) are so layered that even the Justice Department can’t find out who owns them!!
Remember, peeling an onion you just get more layers and tears in your eyes for the effort! Even Money can and does buy justice in America!! You read about it everyday! A Fee is the norm, not the exception: You go to a Public Office, deal with a Public Paid Employee, who uses tax paid supplies and equipment and you get to pay other fee on top of all the other money already paid! I would call this Taxation without out representation! Oh, that correct a Fee is not a Tax! For give me I have sinned!! Write in Candidate for all seats on the Coos County Commission, especially seat #2! And I encourage you to write in you favorite that may not be on the ballot! I did and the other people I wrote in are ‘friends’ of the candidates on the ballot! Go Figure! Its legal as long as its a non partisan seat (race)! Remember, Write in #2 Geno Landrum
Main should use that clip of the walrus saying Fred isn’t qualified in some ads. “Messerle backers say Fred can’t do the job”!
It would only be funny or meaningful to the very few who even know who he is. Just a handful of chamber regulars and those of us who follow port and county politics. Basically, the opinions of Al and the walrus are completely irrelevant.
I agree in most part of your post, magix! Opinions are just that, they are personal in nature, except when it come to ‘group think’ then they become dangerous!!
That is why it is imperative that the most people that can be involved, and agree by consensus will over come most if not all ‘unforeseen consequences’ nothing is perfect, perfection is an illusion! But, near perfect that can be corrected as time and events change can happen and should be the rule, not the exception!
This is my OPINION and I’m stickin’ to it! Write in Candidate for Seat #2 Coos County Commission! Not looking for a job, I have one: I’m retired!
LOL
Here is where we are headed rabble. Even Honduras rejects privitization.
A wet dream for little al and The Walrus:

‘Privatized Cities’ Rejected in Honduras Supreme Court
– Common Dreams staff
A plan to build a series of ‘model cities’ designed to cater to foreign investors through the privatization of development, municipal services and legal systems within autonomous zones was struck down in Honduras’ Supreme Court on Wednesday.
Protest against charter cities proposal in Honduras. Banner reads: Model Cities: Expulsion of Garifuna People from Honduras. Photo G. Trucchi. Legislation that had approved the privatized cities was passed in January 2011 in a bid to draw foreign investors into the country. The move was championed by Honduran President Porfirio Lobo—who came to power in a military coup in 2009.
The legislation faced immediate opposition from civil rights and indigenous groups, saying the “charter cities” would allow unprecedented civil rights abuses through exempting foreign corporations from government control and regulation in the territories. The law also empowered the private companies to take over indigenous land, sign their own international trade and investment agreements, and set their own immigration policies within the cities.
In the subsequent Supreme Court hearing the justices voted 13-2, stating that the legislation was unconstitutional because it exempted the privatized cities from Honduran law.
Prior to the ruling a US investment group was poised to dump $15 million into the infrastructure of the first model city near Puerto Castilla.
Expert textpert choking smokers,
Don’t you think the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty,
See how they snied.
I’m crying.
Goo goo g’joob Walrus, like pigs in a sty indeed.
Ya gotta laugh, the very same people who drove this county to poverty, and got paid for it, now want you to swallow more of their crap. Only this time they really mean it? Hell, they aren’t even saying it. Why do you think so many Messerlies’ are on the take for public funds? They know where the Free Money Tree is, you fools who actually work for a living haven’t learned that yet?
You want more of this madness?
Like I’ve said before, it takes a certain amount of intelligence and a true sense of self NOT to waller around sucking public funds, all the while pleading poverty for the rest of us.
Indeed, these Corporate Defenders can’t even produce a correct campaign sign, all the while telling the voters they’re smarter than them, and these clowns are the only way out of the financial cliff they have been responsible for creating.
Amazing feat, I have to give them that. Imagine, creating poverty, throwing working families into despair for a generation, right in front of their faces,all the while sucking public funds from those same poor people.
The Walrus don’t get to be a walrus without consuming huge amounts of revenue over the years, that one needs to skip that damned lunch once in a while, he might actually be able to walk to a cross walk and follow the law like the rest of us, oh I forgot, “the law for thee, not for me”.
The daily downtown Coos Bay garbage can liner lied to the people yesterday trying to convince them it was during Main’s watch that Herne and Bell got frustrated and started the charter effort. In fact it was when Messerle appointed himself King of Kings this year, he decided we get no more than 3 minutes to speak, we must speak before we know what the board plans to speak about so we cant rebut.
The garbage can liner also gave Main the jeers because he is reluctant to sign the lease wih ORC as written. Please, I know you are reading this Al, tell us where are the millions of dollars coming from in that lease. Messerele promised big bucks revenue. I added the neumbers several times and the most that the county will receive during the next 17 years is $40,000. And, for that $40,000 we get to lose forest and get to clean up the ORC mess when they go bankrupt. Thanks Al for your timely responsel.
Mr Barton proved one thing he does not care about his pawns. They could not come up with facts to show us how there plan will save us money. So he went to his backup plan wich they have had in place all along by creating a smoke screen they think they can sway the voters for the change all we need to do is vote people in that want to and will do the job remember and administrator is only as good as the commissioners over seeing him or her are so the real problem is not that we don’t have a administrator it is that we have a couple commissioners hel bent on privatizing the county I am voting no on the administrator . I will vote for Bob, Don, and myself as write in for position 2
