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.

Local Radio Host Pleas To Warrenton Officials To Ban Recall Petition Gatherers From City Property?

Here's a question:

Why is the City Of Warrenton allowing petition gathering to happen on city property?

You may think that the slice of land in front of the Warrenton post office is owned by the Postal Service but not so. The spot where those who are seeking to recall Commission Chair Jeff Hazen is city property.

Clatsop County Commissioner Jeff Hazen States His Position On Recall Effort Against Him

Saturday, July 25, 2009
Recall
Tuesday morning, recall petitions were filed against both Ann Samuelson and me.

I learned about it after receiving a call from a local reporter. I wasn't surprised that it happened since the chants of "Recall, Recall, Recall" were heard at our July 16th meeting......
