How do we, as citizens and constituents of Clatsop County, being served by both these agencies, The Port of Astoria and Clatsop County Government's Board of Commissioners get all the ills that have befallen us in their dysfunction get all of them on the table for treatment and dismissal?
The only immediate and effective way, in our interest, is through The Oregon Secretary of State's Office by a Financial and Performance Audit and it is not voluntary on the part of either agency or under their control.
The question is: should we be presented with the opportunity to have these audits performed, would you as a taxpayer, citizen, voter, resident of Clatsop County approve it?

I would wholeheartedly applaud and approve such an audit, and would hope it would also include an in-depth audit of the personal finances of the port and county commissioners.
I think just laying out the cuurent fanancial status of both groups and the performance of all key officials, will clear up most all questions and get the situation into the "Public Venue" for all to see.
