County votes Republican; NB house razed
A majority of Coos County voters go liberal, opt not to join the national majority and opt instead to vote for John McCain to lead the country. They aren’t generous, when it comes to taxation. Voters turn down a bond measure to build schools in Coos Bay and snub two county tax levies — one for more jail beds and drug investigations, and the other to help the financially ailing public health department.
Other November news
•The Oregon International Port of Coos Bay agrees to buy the Coos Bay rail line although officials aren’t fond of the $16.6 million cost.
• Southwestern Oregon Community College enacts a plan to lay off 13 employees and cut one position in half in light of a $2.9 million budget shortfall.
• Coquille police Officer Randy Ulmer is arrested on official misconduct and theft charges. Money is missing from the police department’s evidence room.
• A North Bend house on a sliding hillside above Sapphire’s Mongolian Grill is torn down after nearly two years of controversy.
• An unusually high number of drivers are injured in crashes after failing to navigate a curve near milepost 202 on U.S. Highway 101 north of Gardiner. The state eventually sends in a crew to try to fix the road.
