This person identifies themself as one of the 7 County Planning Commissioners by the name of "Chris"?
Could that be "Christine Bridgens" somehow related to Bob Bridgens, Lee's right hand back up spokesman/organizer for Lee's "Citizens For Elections Not Recalls" Group.
Is she speaking for The Planning Commision?
The reasons for recall given by the trio on your show Wednesday are nothing more than an attempt to distract voters into focusing on gossip and personal opinions of Mr. Lee.
Each of their accusations falls far short of being accurate.
As one of the 7 planning commissioners, I know for a fact that Commissioner Lee did not "hand pick" planning commissioners, nor does he manipulate decisions made by the PC's or the Board of Commissioners.
Your commissioners are strong, competent representatives for this county, and I know that they can be trusted to think for themselves.
I don't believe that Richard Lee would have known who I was if he had seen me somewhere before I was appointed, and he surely had no idea of my land use opinions.
So much for the ominous "connection" to Mr. Lee.
More disturbing than that was Ms. Westbrook's, Mr. Wirfs' and Mr. Rokka's statement that the recall had virtually nothing to do with LNG.
I have been closely involved in the LNG hearings (and voluminous study) for the past 10 months and this recall is absolutely about LNG, and the recall group would like very much to silence those who disagree with them.
They had some success with this at one of the hearings held at the Libery Theater when they stopped testimony of carpentry students by telling them that they didn't know enough about it to testify.
Shameful! I hope voters will look through the fog to the truth. It is unhealthy for our community to let this narrowly-focused, anti-development, smear & destroy group manipulate its way into power in Clatsop County.
