So, Lee says he never met the lady.

Of course not, if it is as it appears that Lynda Lee is running his show.

Fairly thorough chronology from Ms. Bunch it appears.

Would anybody dare claim she, Ms. Bunch, made this up?

From what I’ve seen of Ms. Bunch, she’s so full of self-importance that it just makes me cringe. Also, she’s a very rude woman when in her capacity of planner (I’ve experienced that myself)...Mrs. Lee is a dynamic woman, who could certainly be misconstrued as rude when she’s simply trying to make a point – and she definitely doesn’t do “rude” well. I’ve been on the recieving end of her trying to make a valid point in a conversation, and yes, she’s forceful – most strong women are.

After reading the article from the other day’s Daily A, and then Ms. Bunch’s letter, all I can say is….”Jennifer, want some cheese with that whine?” Damn woman, be a professional and do your job!

Her composition sure has lots of the “I” word sprinkled about.

And, that’s a dead giveaway that “it’s all about Jennifer Bunch”.

When I first read the newspaper’s story about what it termed “Lee’s shenanigans”, I found it somewhat odd that a County employee was filing what the newspaper called a “complaint” against Richard Lee. Any services any of the commissioners receives from a County Department are strictly in the capacity of a private citizen. On what basis does a County employee file a “complaint” against a member of the public he or she is expected to serve? Does this mean that every time I go to obtain services from a County department I need to be worried that if what I say is construed as rude or hostile, or if my demeanor is not sufficiently deferential, that a “complaint” will be filed against me?

This so-called complaint is in reality nothing more than an excrutiatingly boring interoffice memo written for purely political purposes. What really emerges is this woman’s supreme arrogance. She has been on the job (according to another article on this site) less than 6 months and she is threatening to quit if her supervisor doesn’t “do something”. As Guy might say – don’t let the door hit you in the ass in the way out.

ALL the facts are presented? Hardly think so.

Bunch was present and spoke at the first Calpine LNG meeting where she asked the LNG panel,”If we ask you nicely will you please go away?”

KAST recorded it and its in their archives if they keep those tapes. They should look it up.

Staff that have hidden agendas shouldn’t be staff that are advising our commissioners on such important endeavors that economically affect us all. They should recuse themselves. The Anti-LNG sympathizing Planners were PISSED that the Commissioners did not follow their recommendations. Drunk Planners don’t keep their lips sealed so tight, and Fort George is such a nice place to hang out at, don’t you think?

If FOG is all about OPEN government then those in their fold with the Anti LNG group would be unafraid of acknowledging Bunch as one of their own supporters. It would be the OPEN thing to do.

This is their test, let’s see if they are as honest as those they are seeking to replace. We know Bunch was there, we know she said those words.

If I remember correctly Price was blogging back then and her and Reuter were at those first meetings, too. Tryan should give those two FOR OPEN GOVERNMENT supporters a call and ask them if they will admit Bunch was there.

Since KC McGee, whoever that is, doesnt sit on the planning commission or any other public board requiring impartiality on land use matters, there isnt any conflict of interest.
Bunch does have a seat.
She screwed up and she needs to be removed. That is the point.

The report means little. What we need is a relative report. I strongly suggest our commissioners hire an outside firm to have a “secret shopper” go into the planning department and see the kind of help they receive on their jobs. Then we can see what kind of egging on Lynda Lee got. Basing a report on what a bunch of planners have to say about each other. What the hell kind of investigative report is that? Especially if they all have something they are trying to hide! I don’t know a single developer or contractor in Clatsop Co that hasn’t exchanged words with the planning department. Something stinks to high heaven in that planning department. They are covering one another’s butts. They change policy to suit themselves,with no regard for ORS laws or charter ordinances, and back one another up. Start interviewing the developers and contractors around here that have to work with these jokers day in and day out. You want to see rude? You try working with Bunch rolling her eyeballs at you, flipping her hand at you or just walking away. And she isn’t even an engineer, or a planner, doesn’t have training, nothing. She used to make maps and knows GIS, that’s it. Oh, and she’s a socialist. “Its the nature of the beast” according to her.

Heavens to Betsy, if I dare use that phrase, there sure seem to be some weird relationships in this cyberspace. I happily do not understand the obviously deep roots of some of this, er, discourse. As for RTV’s question, I personally support paying the elected District Attorney, in this vital law enforcement position, a substantial salary. I have some disagreements with Mr. Marquis, but he seems to be professional and competent. I realize that some of you have strong feelings against the man. I have limited first hand experience. I do know that he’s not always going to be the DA. This county needs to be able to attract top notch candidates for this office in the future, not scare them away. Cindy Price seems to be a very intelligent person. If I’d lived in the Third District at the time, I probably would have voted for her. But the DA business and the last election have nothing whatsoever to do with the recall of Mr. Lee. The recall is not going to result in a reversal of land use decisions for LNG or anything else. To me this is about competence, conduct in office, and failure to protect the environmental and economic interests of Clatsop County. Suggesting that the recall is some sort of Marquis-Price plot / revenge / vendetta is frankly downright delusional. It is very strange to read otherwise reasonable posters that subscribe to this delusion. The only thing that I can figure is that either Mr. Marquis or Ms. Price did something that made some of you very angry, and through the filter of this unresolved anger you imagine some far-fetched alternate reality. I don’t begrudge your anger; it is obvious that you feel justified in the way that you feel. Just please don’t let it taint your good judgement. Or not…

The recall is TOTALLY about the d.a. and his wife.

Buzz wrong answer. The most palpable reason I have for getting rid of Lee is that he essentially gave the finger to everyone who “works” for a living when he wouldn’t reschedule the comment time for LNG. There were at least 100 people who had been waiting hours to have a chance to speak and when Lee REFUSED to accommadate working people with real jobs, that is when he pissed me and many other’s off.

Recall him for that one action? Yes, that action speaks volumes about the man.

Excuse me? Where? When? I was at those hearings…and even when they were continued to a second day, there was nowhere near “100 people who had been waiting hours to have a chance to speak”...Please don’t try to make your little group seem so much bigger. Yes, there were more to speak, but it was nowhere near that many…maybe a few more.
