Commissioner Farr, to my knowledge, has "kept his head down" on this one. 

 Hey, Pat, how about taking a stand and letting us know whether you represent the people of Lane County or the monied special interests who have brought the Board this nasty little proposal.  This is too important an issue to avoid.  If, per chance, you're reading this, take a few moments and post your response.  It's important for the people of Lane County to know your position.  Thanks and regards, Gary Crum
