Mr. Lorang.
Oh how quick you are to tell the public that the PAC did not
violate any laws.
That statement is not even close to the truth now is it?
I will quote the Oregon Secretary of State in the same
letter to me that you are referring to.
”This letter only addresses possible violations of Election Law; it does not address the things in the complaint for which we do not have jurisdiction.
The elements of the complaint which we do not have jurisdiction over (not in Oregon Election Law) are: the alteration of public documents and emails, failure to include factual information in the mailings, defamation of character, “unlawful obtained attendance at a town hall meeting”.
So you see the Secretary of State by this very statement,
points out the criminal violations. It is just that department does not have
jurisdiction to do anything about it.
So not only did our Secretary of State find that the PAC
did alter public records and e-mails, the Pac did fail to include factual
information in their mailings, but she even found two violations I never raised
in my complaint.
She found the PAC defamed the character of the recalled
council and she found that town hall attendance was unlawfully obtained.
Can I ask, how you plan on addressing the public, to
explain these violations of law the Secretary of State clearly found the PAC
violated, but did not have jurisdiction to do anything about?
Because she clearly pointed out the violations of law the
PAC committed, throughout the letter and referred back to the statement of lack
of jurisdiction, I copied and pasted to this very blog posting earlier.
Yes you were about as quick on this as you were on the
Department of Revenue finding, concerning you and yours budget.
Again it is a lack of jurisdiction.
Under Oregon law “Department of Revenue not to interfere
with fiscal policy of municipal corporation, ORS 294.490.”
Now it can go to tax
court.
But in the meantime since you want to declare to the
public your assurance to the citizens, that the city did not violate budget law. Maybe you can
explain to the public how the city put $45,000 in the previous budget which was
approved at $222.860.00, without calling for a supplemental budget?
When the law requires a supplemental budget to be called
if any addition to a budget changes the total fund by 10% or $5,000.00,
whichever is greater. ORS 294.473
So you and this council gave the previous budget
$45,000.00 when the statutory limit based on the fund at that 10% maximum was $22,086.00.
So explain to the citizens how we did not have a right to
a supplementary budget process, including publication laws required to be met,
our right to budget hearing as required by law and having the right to speak on
this during the budget hearing as required by law.
So just like it appears, you think the PAC can violate
criminal law and that makes it alright because the Secretary of State does not
have jurisdiction to enforce those laws.
It also appears that just like your council before, when
you over spent the fire fund or met behind closed doors to allow a former city
employee to quit and be paid. It is clear to all that; once again it appears you feel the citizens
have no right to participate in the legal process and an open and transparent city government.
Yep it is clear for all, that when your elitist government/s
overspends on the fire department fund, that you think you are above the law and can do what you please.
All of this followed by you and your elitist government
act, to deny the people our inalienable right to vote you into, or out of office,
after your chosen appointment by the elitist’s in charge, appointed you back
into office, right after the people spoke by our vote to remove you from your office.
So Mr. Lorang have you got any more answers the people
need to know, besides this propaganda campaign you have going on here to save
face?
Then you seem to have forgotten about the other complaints
waiting for the findings of fact concerning this letter.
Nice try, but you still do not pass go and you do not
collect your $200.00
So explain your way out of this!
Cody
