Steve, You said it yourself that you would SUPPORT the idea to tax the feds for lost timber revenue.., but yet you want the tax bill decreased.. How can you approve/disapprove of tax increases at the same time? If you lived in Bandon would you support a tax increase to add police officers for 24/7 coverage of Bandon?

Orecoast,
Why would you think I support new taxes? I want the tax bill decreased. What I want is less tax used efficiently to provide services without the fluff.
If you are going to spread rumors, at least stick to the truth.

Lakeside can't be dis-incorporated because they are in debt for the sewer plant, etc.
I love Lakeside - wish they could all play in the sandbox nicely.

Dear Observer, and the rest of you new-comers: LakesiDERS would prefer just that, as proven by the Dis-incorporations (2) prior to the 1970's. The late great Jim Brown told you many times: had the community NOT needed a sewer plant and the funding to construct one, the last vote for incorporation wouldn't have won at all, much less by 3-4 vote margin! The sewer plant bound the community as a 'city' ...as collateral for grant monies the community required for building the plant.
It's funny you're all fighting over that now.
But --doesn't that tell you something? With exception to Mr. Tim Crockett none of the other people involved with THIS recall effort are true Lakesiders. They are people who came here from ...other places because it is what it is here and they loved it! and then immediately work to change it into whatever controlled atmosphere they moved away from. We're used to that in Lakeside. And if the cost of one recall after another bankrupts the so-called 'city' we'd all be the merrier.

They're sending you the bill Steve...LOL!
Seriously though, the next Lakeside election should be one for disincorporating this dysfunctional city.
