Well I have filed, now it is up to you. You say you want change, then remember my name come November and get out and vote. Participate no matter who you vote for.

TAXPAYER, You can do anything no matter what your age is, just don't let anyone tell you different.

I hope someone will run for office that has the ability to bring in some new business. I cannot believe with an area this big, we cannot get more stores and restaurants that other areas smaller than ours has. Every single business that we hear is coming to town, decides not to, why is that anyway?? We need somewhere to shop and eat. Like Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Red Robin, TGIF's, even some decent Buffet restaurants, anything new would be nice. What is stopping all these places from coming here??? I would really like to know.
Please somebody run for office that can do something about this.
I can't I am too old, or I would....

I will be in line Monday morning for an application and filing. I was in Denver all week so I am a little behind, but remember the name D. Stephen Pickering.

MY BAD! I plan on running for city councilor, not mayor. Dr.Meunchrath would make the BEST CHOICE for mayor. If FRIEND OF FIREFIGHTERS can do it, I know I can as well. Anyone else willing to step up to the plate? Just remeber those initials!

Hi there! I don't know how I will do, but I am going to file to run for the position of Coos Bay mayor. I would do the very best job that I can. I would even "LISTEN" to the citizens of Coos Bay,unlike our current mayor.

I'm the local politicians worst nightmare, retired, in the area less than 10 years, lots of money, a conservative republican, against spending the taxpayers money foolishly, and I plan to run. I'll be on the ballot after the 25th. Why won't you others?

Go for it!

Since I have lived here my entire life, maybe I should run. How about a female native of 50 years being mayor? I'd like to see my home town grow and change for the better. Stupid pretty sidewalks won't bring anyone here to look at them.

Hope Dr. Muenchrath sticks his oar in the water and sets the boat (Coos Bay) on a straight course.

This would be a good opportunity for LEHMAN and airport crew to help COOS BAY.They should know their time is very limited at the airport,enough damage done there.Voters get ready.

McKeown doesn't need to run. He hasn't done anything for the town since he has been in office. Speaking of work, the majority of the council hasn't done much. Dr. Muenchrath needs to run for mayor. He has what it takes and he cares about the community *gasp*. If he doesn't run for council or mayor, then we're going to get more of the same.

Hello COMMON SENSE. Catching up on a weeks news. In your post last week you offered to run for mayor but feared not having name recognition. I once ran for office. No political experience (a plus), no yard signs, no advertising, no questions asked, and I got about 40% of the vote. Showed me how much the people did not want the other guy. I'm waitng to see how many of you unhappy people sign up as candidates then I'll be there with you. And the mayors property is about 3/4 mile from the LNG site.

"Experienced". Again its the World trying to make news. Baloney! There are more experienced people who complain but fail to put their name on the ballot. Its time to put up or shut up. The people of Coos Bay deserve a choice for every position! Like others, my vote for mayor will go to Meunchrath on the ballot or as a write in. If only Mr. McKeown understaood that Coos Bay has a Council Manager type of Government and his ego would permit him to talk less and give credit to others more.

Well Jeff (McKeown),
Unless you start thinking about the area first instead of yourself (Supporting the California LNG SCAM due to your property ownership next to it) & start running the area better (NOT fee'n to death every potential incoming business), your chances of winning are less then winning the National Lotto! Sorry, but the goodoleboy system is slowly going bye bye (If you don't believe me, just ask John Griffith)...
