The County Commissioners do the best they can, but remember you don't have to have any business background to be elected. If you won the lottery, would you hire any of the commissioners to manage your winnings. Why don't we do away with paid commissioners and hire a professional county manager with a background in finances, etc. and commissioners paid only for their expenses. I would be a "bigger bang" for our tax dollar.

To the former County Road Worker who said they were going to fall short on the recall, effective 2/19/09 the recall guys already have more than enough signatures to have Mr. Stufflebean recalled.

For the ex county road employees doing the petitions.. When you receive your unemployment check, is that on a truthfull basis? Are you currently looking for work as the question asks on the phone or internet? Or just doing this on the dime of the people still working? I see you sitting at different locations through out coos county.

Being narrow minded has not gotten you anywhere, you need to see the whole picture. And everyone should watch channel 14 and see how Kevin says one thing and then does just the opposite.

Kevin has stated then denied the facts I don't know how many times....If he would just be honest and admit to the agenda that he has, this would probably all go away. This is his fault, so Stufflebutt, stand up and take it like a man! Stop blaming everyone else! The blame lies with you!

For me...this is not about the lay offs. Lots of people at this time are being laid off. It is unfortunate but true. Our own schools that are teaching the next voice of locals are forced to make sacrifices.
What is it about? The scandelous way the whole process was executed. The whole thinking process was absurd and the cloak and dagger way it was presented was deliberate. Which in mind borderlines illegal and certainly unethical.
I don't feel he is the best candidate to have representing our needs when he has proven to have made poor choice and that is the bottom line. Nikki Whitty, equally as important in my book, should also be in the same boat as Kevin in my opinion for having knowingly gone along with and supporting his plans. Quoting at a meeting that they felt the new commissioner should not have been included (in the plan)...

Not only did the Jenning's work on Nikki Whitty's campaign but also Bob Main's.. not surprising then who they target.

WE can then have one commish that is named in a number of lawsuits, one out golfing and the third making side deals that cost the county tons, and making a toast with the labor council and union. Someshould ask how many special benefits MR. Jennings gets with his hands in the pie.

Ya know it is just amazing how many of you leave comments on how bad county workers are....what about your elected officials? You are able to place all the blame on the employees, but in the real world an employee is only as good as the employer! It seems to me that you should have a bigger complaint with the county! You naysayers elected Stufflebean, He has been running the road department, and look, according to him, it is in financial ruin! I think it is clear who is to blame! The employees are just Stufflebean scape goats! Look at the larger picture!
Whaaaaah wrote on Feb 9, 2009 2:09 PM:
The fact are right under everyone's noses. Do you watch channel 14 and then listen to what Stufflebean says he didn't say. Pay better attention to what he says and what he denies afterwards. All of you that say the County is a bunch of whiners, you are the ones whining. I read more things on here from the real whiners that don't have a clue as to what is really going on. The real reason they were laid off in the first place was not due to their abilities/inabilities. They were laid off so Stufflebean would have enough money to use towards the Chromite Mining Outfit. They needed the money to pave that road so they could get their equipment to the grounds they will be working on. It was all said on channel 14 and Stufflebean admitted it. This is why the people in your eyes are whining so to speak. How would you feel if someone came along and pulled the rug out from under you? I thought so.

The proof is out there if you want to find what else stufflebean and whitty have done. Go into this recall with your eyes open, having looked at both sides of the issues. I also encourage you to attend a commissioners meeting. One of many I have attended had the National Weather Service showing a years worth of documented attempts to contact Kevin, emails, phone calls, all documented and he sat there and denied it even with proof staring in his face. Please look at all the issues before you make your decision.

I will sign wrote on Feb 7, 2009 5:26 AM:
Stufflebean factored in the $450,000 the county needs to come up with to improve W. Beaver Hill Rd. for ORC's mining project and fired the 22 people that would be doing the work to come up with the $$$. Now ORC wants to mine more. How many more Rds. will they be tearing up like Whiskey Run and 7 Devils which are poorly maintained as it is, and how many more people will get fired in order to come up with the money? His offer to ORC for their share to maintain the roads is $800,000 over 20 years less than what ORC originally offered.

Answer to the Question... wrote on Feb 7, 2009 12:00 AM:
Many folks ask, Why not recall Whitty also?" Apparently, when two Commissioners are recalled at the same time, then the Governor can step in and simply appoint one. We need real leaders in this county, people who are open, HONEST, and competent. The democratic process allows for the removal of witless shufflebeans, and its our duty to do so.

I'm sorry that the 22 people lost their jobs, but I do not agree with pushing a recall because you are unhappy. County workers have had a reputation of feeling "entitled" to more than the rest of us get and in these tough times lots of people are losing their jobs. The sole reason I decided to post here though was because I witnessed what must have been an ex employee getting signatures in front of the post office in Coquille the other day. It made me sick that he was getting people who had absolutely no knowledge of the situation to sign the recall sheet. The conversation I witnessed was a simple "Would you sign this to recall Stufflebean who fired a bunch of people for no reason". I know it's the citizens responsibility to know what they are signing but there should be some sort of checks and balances with how these signatures are collected. I'm not saying I support Stufflebean 100% but this process is basically a fraud!!

Whitty really should be recalled too, because she is equally culpable for the illegal actions as Stufflebean and Griffith.
If elected officials are never held to account for unlawful behavior, then they and future commissioners probably will do more of the same, so whatever it costs Coos will be money very well spent.

Blaming one person for what the budget looks like is ridiculous. Did anyone listen to Kevin's interview with Jim Bice on a local radio station? He had answers without hesitation and it made sense. Some people will sign this petition without the facts and that is sad! Pick up, dust off and carry on road workers!

I'm not a fan of Commissioner Stufflebean but why is the recall petition just for him and not Commissioner Whitty as well?

I received a visit at my home from a ex-employee of the county. I do not appreciate people coming to my home asking my to sign a recall sheet. I feel the employees that were let go are being hit by the hard times that are effecting everyone. When I stated I did not want to sign I received a very rude look from the man. I feel the ex-county employees should put their efforts into looking for new jobs. People are not hired for life!Sometimes people are let go. It is hard but time to move on.
