The Race for Eugene Mayor: A conservative vs. a progressive
Posted by Lynn Moracco under Random Bus StopsFrom: Kari Chisholm - BlueOregon.com
In this primary season, most of the races feature candidates with similar ideologies running against each other - progressive vs. progressive, conservative vs. conservative.
But in Eugene, there’s a progressive versus conservative showdown - featuring Mayor Kitty Piercy against former Mayor Jim Torrey.
You can learn a lot about a person by who their friends are.
Torrey may have given up his Republican registration, but his support is still coming from the same old places: developers, auto dealers, and polluters. According to ORESTAR today, he’s raised over $172,000.

“It hit me your word about Rob Handy’s comments you said tonight. That he spoke against the “WOPR” at the city club.!! and I mentioned that he never, ever mentioned a word about it at any of our 11 Forums, since the City club.
I think he’s been bought by them?!! some one is giving him money from the timber people!>
“As far as the WOPR timber sale proposal, if Handy has indeed dropped it as an issue, I would very much like to see you pick it up. Cutting down the last old public forests is not the answer to funding a county police state.” ralph

Fair and Balanced Journalism in “Progressive” Lane County & the Bus Project!!
I’ve been mistreated, abused,and discriminated against, time and time again, by the Media.
First encounter, right after, I filed to run for Lane County Commission on Thursday March 6-08. I called the KVAL, RG, to cover my candidacy announcement at the Plaza Lanita’s on Friday March 7-08.
No one showed up from the Media! Especially the “Progressive” Lane County Media!!
-The media didn’t cover the interview they did with me. Matt Cooper the Register Guard reporter for the County commissioner candidates, and the endorsement report by Paul Neville from the Register Guard.
-The “progressive” Eugene weekly was in the pocket of the “progressive & our Mayor for all”. “The Progressive EW” called me NOT serious candidate!!
-Jason N. Reed jasonreedemerald@gmail.com a reporter from the University Daily Emerald sent me few questions to answer them. I’ve sent the response to him. Jason Reed never responded or published the interview with me.
-The Bus Project down played my candidacy,by degrading,humiliating, and insulting, me on their “nonpartisan” election website! Every time they have the chance to do it!!!
-Four years ago, 2004, when “Mayor for all Piercy” was running for the Mayoral seat against Jim Torrey. One of her campaign aids contacted an American Iraqi woman- that happened to write something to the editor not in favor of Mayor Piercy!!
The campaign person telephoned this woman and informed her, she needs to go back to Iraq! Because she’s not welcome in the USA! and continued to harassed her!
There was a letter to the editor supporting my statement in the RG!
“It is sad that the races are less about the issues and the personalities of the people running and more about whatever National Inquirer style snippets can be derived from the daily sound bytes.”
Mr.”Intellect” Handy, spent every forum, NOT speaking about the issues. But he was obsessed by trashing Bobby Green.Yet, no one comment on this!!
