Clatsop Commissioner Jeff Hazen: Is He Confident Enough To Run A Stealth Campaign?

Is Jeff Hazen running a "Stealth" campaign for County Commissioner?

Those who lived here in 1992, many can remember it seemed to have worked for Julie Leonhardt when she beat Steve Gerttula for DA.

Hazen, who has a website that is on many blogrolls and was very vocal back during his own, Ann Samuelson and Patricia Ronerts recall elections, hasn't had a post since November 2009 when he mourned the loss of his pal Ann, and attempted to bolster support against Roberts recall declaring, "Make no mistake about it they are trying to take over our County Government"(They the assumption would infer would be his neighbors and constituents in Clatsop County) and aside from a few signs trying to tie him to Raichl "Support Our County, Vote Raichl and Hazen" and similar to the signs posted back during the recall campaigns, to the effect.."Support Our County, Say No To Recall", there simply is no campaign presence on the web or anywhere for Hazen.

For Hazen, it would appear back during the recalls, keeping his head down kept him from being recalled but the question now is: will it get him re-elected?

Maybe there will be a last minute campaign blitz to get him past a very viable candidate in Scott Lee(No relation to Richard Lee)?

In Hazen's three and a half years on CCBofC, what are some of Hazen's hallmarks in his tenure on that panel that seem to stand out most in the Public's perception?

1) Walking literally in lock step step with pals Lee and Samuelson until they were RECALLED?

2) Engineering the whole DA pay debacle and voting AGAINST restoring the DA county pay in March 2008 even when the other Board members voted for it?

3) LNG. How much divisiveness, how many 100,000s of dollars has to be paid before Hazen listens to 1) county staff and 2) LUBA?

4) Why does he keep flying to DC on our dollars? What exactly has the county gotten from the feds because of Jeff's "intervention"?

Mr. Hazen is most certainly invited to refute, enhance or add to this list any information he feels will help his campaign if he wishes to do so.

Jeff Hazen wouldn't come here to talk to one lone nut like you, mcgee. I suggest you attend one of the upcoming candidate forums and ask your dumb questions in person.You wont do it though, even though it would make for good comedy watching Hazen make you look more of a fool than you already are.

And you represent and are a voice for "The Hazen Camp" are you "Anonym"?

Why does that not surprise me?

Go to a candidates forum to hear what we hear during every election campaign around these parts?

Hell, I could likely write the exact script of what will be said by each candidate attending. Even Mushen is into it now trying make the same old noise about bridgeing the North-South County divide by declaring to meet with PofA to get them to build something in South County but, Lord only knows what.

I would like for Hazen to come here and list item for item his successes in the interests of all the citizens of Clatsop County during his 3 1/2 year tenure on the panel and exactly why he should be re-elected but, he sends you "Anonym?

Hey Anon, how about Jeff putting something up on his OWN website or anywhere?
He doesn't have to come to McGee's website but does he just feel he's owed the job for his good solid work for Bradwood?

Nobody sends me, you dolt. And if you have questions for Jeff Hazen-then fine- go ask him. But how can you expect someone who is as busy as he is to search out some obscure one horse website to have a little tet`e tete with the local nut? You post some b.s., challenge Hazen to respond then when no response is forthcoming you mistakenly assume your prey is avoiding you. What you are doing isn't an legitmate effort at getting dialog going. What you're doing is akin to writing a letter to someone then mailing it to yourself. Go to where the action is because it sure ain't at this site because it doesn't amount to a tiny pimple on the north coast's cyber ass. No wonder this place is ignored, it's the totally the dumbest collection of crap around

Hows that workin' out for ya, Pilgrim? Maybe you should go to him being as he probably doesnt even know you exist.

...."but does he just feel he's owed the job for his good solid work for Bradwood?"

And the above is exactly the perception, generally, around these parts that could unseat the man as Scott Lee(No relation to Richard Lee) is a strong candidate for that seat.

No, Hazen doesn't have to come here and he cannot hide from these questions either.

Wrong, I'm just providing space for all candidates to put forth their credentials and platform, Hazen, Raichl, Mushen, Dunzer.

Well, since this is the only so called "local" site that has campaign material from Lee and Huhtala why dont they come here and face the voters and take questions. Oh, thats right. They wont come and you wouldnt ask them anyway.

Hazen is too BUSY in his part time job as County Commissioner to post ANYTHING on his OWN website?
How dare McGee ask questions!
Scott Lee HAS a website.
Marquis is unopposed.

Did you write the piece above "Anonymous"?

Looks to me you are using somebody else's name of "Anonymous" to post your comment.
