Mr. Carson, You have already shown by your own actions and words to be unreliable, unprofessional and a quitter. Your feeble attempt at blackmailing our Council into giving you your undeserved unemployment was obvious and posted on our blog at http://whoscityourcity.blogspot.com/2011/09/now-l...

Even this comment shows that while you accuse others of vindictiveness, it is in the mirror you should look. I suggest you stop threatening your past employers and find some other way besides unemployment to pay your way through school. Might I suggest next time, take the Ethics course first.

I see, you published the 7th for the 3rd, not the 3rd for the 3rd. I had thought it was vice versa. My apologies, I was checking the 7th for the correction.
Still do not like your assumption that I was accusing you of a conspiracy, there was no need to place the definition in your reply, I already was quite aware of the meaning of the word, thus my protest of the term.

Dear Mr. McCarty,

I resent YOUR use of the word conspiracy. You should look up the unpleasant connotations that the use of it implies before you utilize it in order to denigrate my posting.

It is now 11:00 Thursday morning, your reply to me indicates it has been 16 hours since you noticed your error. What, precisely, does the word shortly mean to you?

Is there some reason the exact same, word-for-word letter from Rob Brostoff is printed in both the September 3rd and 7th edition of your paper?

This impolite, unfair and obvious favoritism has got to stop. Your editor has received letters from other residents of Cascade Locks, I being one of them, he requested changes in the wordage and will not print them if he does not approve yet does not notice the duplication?

Dear Mr. Brostoff,

Before you go off just one more time at our elected officials, or waste anymore of town's time in a grave situation that needs it's duly elected officials to make hard decisions and who have already given you and your friends on the recall committee too much time and attention better spent elsewhere. I would like to make just three points about your letter

1)"There were secret meetings held which didn't include some members of the council; where's the rebuttal?"
What's the problem? There was never a quorum. A couple of Council members assisted the Mayor in the offices when we had no administrator.
2) The rebuttals were due into the Elections Office before the Town Hall meeting, hard to answer ahead of time, isn't it? and in only 200 characters.
3) Most of what the recall committee and friends, as you are, find awful and offensive are merely a difference of opinion.

Most of what you have brought up is just a tempest in YOUR teapot. Created only to allow the previous administration who caused these problems and financial issues back into control.

You need to understand that the Fire Dept. gets over 40% of our property tax revenues already. The 'big picture' includes dropping property values and two loans for half a million dollars that were used to buy a new fire engine and build the fire station. We cannot afford to have a Fire Chief who gets paid $140,000 (includes comp time) like he was.

Neither our Mayor or City Councillors are paid. They are volunteers.

Hey, Jack...off.
Once again you are picking certain things out to mention and not others. The reason we don't know what the final costs are is because we have still not settled who is responsible for problems or maintenance on the systems. Ex-Chief Pricher left our town, Cascade Locks, responsible for any issues, did not put into writing which, if any other agencies, other than Cascade Locks were going to be responsible for those. There was no reduction in funding. There were 'magic' not-yet-billed or not-yet-received funds that were predicated within the budget that just don't exist, just like the Chief's salary which was neither magic or planned for. The Budget Committee was hit with major amounts of comp time outta nowhere to them and attempted to deal with them. Chief's salary was safe for 9 months. He cut and ran.

HRNews: "Blakley also accused Masters of "manipulative and obstructive behavior" and an "increasingly hostile and arrogantly argumentative attitude."

I feel it necessary to point out that every sentence of Mr. Masters rebuttal contains I or me.

Every other Council member addresses the issue that most concerns me, the budget.
