A Citizen's Initiative comes to Tangent, Oregon
According to the Democrat Herald, and to invitations received in the mail, there will be a meeting at the Central Electric Training Center, 33309 Highway 99E, Tangent, from 7 pm to 9 pm on October 12, 2006, to listen to a proposal for a different population projection, (1501 by 2026). Once again the question arises; 1501 or 1798. According t o the invitation, this is not another council meeting. It is a citizen's meeting initiated by citizens to talk about the consequences of the city's measure and to ask for input on a the citizen's measure. According to the Democrat, the city elected not to give the citizen's a choice of population projection. "councilors who voted for the higher number said there is no legal basis for 1501." With this initiative, the presenters will be offering a choice again. Please share your thoughts.

I am also not aware of a legal basis for 1798.
I think it's good that the citezens will have a choise. I'm going to the meeting before I vote
You're wrong, Del. It has been explained in the Tangent Newsletter. Didn't you read it?
I think the blog is a great way for citizens who wish to remain anonymous be able to comment on topics without feeling intimidated. I think it gives another way to say things that might otherwise go unsaid.
The news letter only gives one view and that isn't realy compleat. Attend the Oct 12 meeting & hear the full story You have nothing to loose, everything to gain. Have a cookie and listen, you owe it to yourself.
Anonymous said I am wrong about the legal basis for 1798. Anonymous is right. There is a legal basis for 1798... and for 1501.
Anonymous asked if I read the Tangent Newsletter. Yes I did. But I would be in trouble if I only read the Newsletter. Most of it is very good but frequently there are articles, that while factually accurate, only present half of the truth. Half truths don't improve the credibility of the City Council when the Council approves what goes in the Newsletter. I suggest that in the future, when there are controversial topics, that citizens with alternative viewpoints be encouraged to write companion articles.
