Mr. Robbins:  As a rural Lane County resident I share your dissatisfaction with Commissioners Bozievich, Stewart and Leiken who control the Board.  I agree they are seriously "out of touch" with Lane County citizens. 

 We have virtually no rural public safety patrol and enforcement.  A 911 call could mean up to a hour or more response time...in our area, thankfully, Junction City police will respond on a mutual assistance basis.  

Closing rural transfer/recycle sites is a false economy and will create more problems than it solves.  Parvin Butte is just a "highlight" of these gentlemen's support of the extraction industry (their chief campaign funders)  vis a vis Lane County citizens. 

 Their support of a measure to establish for themselves a preemptive veto of citizens' initiatives is just further evidence of their disdain for Lane County citizens.  I think they've forgotten the meaning of democracy Their continued  "power-grabbing" efforts must be confronted and stopped
