In what someone described as “drive-by” town hall meetings, State Representative Wayne Krieger and his cohort, dastardlyandmuttley_L01Senator Jeff Kruse will grace us with a rapid one day series of town hall meetings ending in Coquille at 3:30 PM tomorrow.

  1. Brookings at the College Campus 9:00 AM
  2. Gold Beach at City Hall 10:45 AM
  3. Port Orford at City Hall 12:15 PM
  4. Bandon at the Library 2:00 PM
  5. Coquille at City Hall 3:30 PM

There should be a good turnout in Coquille and and some tough questions regarding privileges to the timber industry are likely to be brought up. The last meeting I attended with Kruse and Krieger was filled with various curious claims. Krieger announced to the room that since 2001 the federal government has gobbled up 2 million acres of private Oregon land but he could not name the source for this information nor could I find any official indication he is even remotely in the ballpark. The pair each claimed they were oblivious as to who their campaign donors are and the excuse for not being able to pass any of the various bills they brought up is because the democratic majority thwarted all efforts at compromise.
