STRONG Salem is for everyone who wants to help and participate in getting Salem, Oregon, to quit chasing Growth Ponzi Scheme plans and instead become a resilient, fiscally responsible place that lives by the wisdom that "Communities exist for the health and enjoyment of those who live in them, not for the convenience of those who drive through them, fly over them, or exploit their real estate for profit."
Hey Walker, how can you be for Bennett when he was anti-chickens, if I'm not mistaken? Just wondering ...
ReplyDeleteChuck is wrong on chickens and I have hopes that he'll come around when he sits in the mayor's chair instead of the chair for Ward 1, as my estimate is that a pretty good majority of folks in Salem would be OK with hens. But at least he will do you the courtesy of explaining why he voted the way he did.
ReplyDeleteI contacted his opponent twice after she announced to ask her what she thought of the process the city had gone through and what her take on it was. I had hopes that she would be strongly pro-urban-hen. She didn't respond to either inquiry -- at all. Simply blew me off. If someone blows you off when they're a CANDIDATE, then you pray that they never get elected to the job they're seeking.
This is good to know, Walker. I hope you will keep pressing Bennett on the chicken issue. There are a lot of pro-chicken voters out here looking for a candidate.
ReplyDeleteAnd keep up the great work on your blog -- the best in the city, I think.
