KRBN - Internet News Talk Radio

LIVE TODAY, NEW TIME @ 5:00 pm Pacific, It's the Boze Noze Show! Ballots have been mailed in Oregon and we need to talk about what is on them. I want to go over the statewide measures as well as local races. Dawn Lesley just received a $1000 from recalled City Councilor Claire Syrett, which fits as they both support EmX on River Road. The rain has finally put an end to the evacuations notices and poor air quality but before nature finally did what the USFS should have done in early August the Cedar Creek fire may have been responsible for a multi-vehicle pill up on I-5 the killed two people. We are seeing lawsuits against power companies, where is the one against the USFS for letting this fire burn? Remember that Dawn Lesley is supported by radical environmental groups that push the "let it burn" philosophy. We can also talk about anything else on your mind, just give us a call!

LIVE TODAY, NEW TIME @ 5:00 pm Pacific, It's the Boze Noze Show! Political pressure by environmental groups like Oregon Wild pushed the USFS into allowing fires to burn like the Cedar Creek fire that started in a single tree. Now we have suffered for months with evacuations, power cutoffs, loss of business, outdoor event cancellations and unhealthy air quality. We need our elected officials to push back with the USFS to prevent this kind of avoidable tragedy. That means we should not vote for candidates like Dawn Lesley that are supported by Oregon Wild. I also want to follow up on the Hwy 126 safety meeting, baseball vs. indoor track, Prescription vegetables and exactly what is a right vs. a need. We can also talk about anything else on your mind, just give us a call!

LIVE TOMORROW @ 4:00 pm Pacific, a special Boze Noze Show! My guest will be Dr. Patrick Moore, A founding board member of Greenpeace and now known as "The Sensible Environmentalist". Dr. Moore is in town for a free and open to the public town hall event on Thursday September 22 from 6:30-8:30 at the Springfield High School Auditorium to discuss climate change. (Doors will open at 6:00) Dr. Moore will be taking questions from the audience just like you can call into the show! I hope he will talk about his background and tell the story of his journey from protesting nuclear powered naval ships to promoting nuclear power as an environmentally sensible solution. He also is a strong proponent of wood as a green building material. I am sure it will make for an interesting interview and a good background for those that are attending the town hall the next day.

LIVE TODAY @ 4:00 pm Pacific, It's the Boze Noze Show! A weekend of power shut offs and evacuations that could all have been avoided if only the US Forest Service put out the single tree fire that became the Cedar Creek Fire. I am really angry about this as it is just the latest example in a string of large fires that could have been stopped early, some that took lives and homes. Tax increases and stadiums were on our agenda again this week. More votes have been counted in the recall of Claire Syrett and the yes to recall side has expanded their lead. It seems EmX for River Road is pretty unpopular. BTW, Claire Syrett contributed to Dawn Lesley's campaign for Commissioner and Dawn contributed to Claire. When it comes to EmX, Dawn=Claire. Speaking of street design, Common Sense for Springfield is kicking off their "Protect Main Street '' effort at redesigning the misguided roundabout plans next Monday evening at Along Came Trudy's, RSVP required. It seems that mass timber construction is being embraced by climate activists yet their policies are leading us into a wood shortage and larger, more frequent forest fires.

LIVE TODAY @ 4:00 pm Pacific, It's the Boze Noze Show! Recalled! It appears that Eugene City Councilor Claire Syrett has been recalled by the voters of her ward over her support for the "Moving Ahead" program that would take lanes away from River Road for an EmX bus route. Dawn Lesley has spoken in support of Moving Ahead in the past and wants to represent Santa Clara on the County Commission. This is a pretty big thing as recalls are rarely successful. The voters are not happy about EmX on River Road. The Board will also be considering raising the Transient Room Tax paid by hotels and other lodging to support a multi-use stadium at the fairgrounds that would be home for the Eugene Ems baseball team. What are your thoughts on using a lodging tax for a stadium? It is also high fire season again as we get ready to acknowledge the second anniversary of the Holiday Farm Fire. I want to explain what federal law says about accepting FEMA funds that is why the lawsuit over liability for causing the fire. Meanwhile California is mandating electric vehicles and just a couple of days later asking folks not to charge them during certain times of the day due to power shortages...

LIVE TODAY @ 4:00 pm Pacific, It's the Boze Noze Show! The Board took the biggest step so far towards a possible multi-use stadium facility that could be the new home for the Eugene Ems at the fairgrounds. We directed staff to prepare the ordinances needed to increase our transient room tax (TRT) and the car rental tax (CRT) as a mechanism for financing the project. We will have to hold a public hearing on the increases in September but we are hoping to finance the stadium without using local property taxes. TRT and CRT are generally paid by tourist and visitors to Lane County not residents. Still more check points before it is a done deal like getting a design/build team on board and getting final costing, etc. We also will be studying a multi-use indoor facility that could be used for indoor track and other indoor sports tournaments. In the meantime, we asked LTD to come present to the Board about Moving Ahead. That should be an interesting conversation. I also am working on getting a public meeting set-up in Veneta for ODOT to talk about the proposed Hwy 126 project from Eugene to Veneta and other safety issues. We still are short prosecutors in the DA's office but you can vote yourself higher taxes for parks in November! There is also the Orwellian named Inflation Reduction Act that will not reduce inflation and student loan relief for rich people that the poor will pay for in higher grocery prices. We can also talk about anything else on your mind, just give us a call!

LIVE TODAY @ 4:00 pm Pacific, It's the Boze Noze Show! New taxes for Lane County will be on the ballot in November. No, not to hire more deputy DA's so we prosecute all felonies. This tax will go to repair and upgrade parks. Once again I was the lone vote against this as I feel we are letting our State legislators and Congress critters off the hook for their lack of support and asking locals to make up the difference for a non-critical function. If I am going to ask senior citizens to increase their property taxes then it is going to be to support a critical function that is a life safety issue like keeping criminals off the street. We also heard one of the best reports on our homeless efforts since I have been a Commissioner. A very clear road map of the current system and how we are working to improve it as well as a report on the outcomes from existing programs. It was interesting that a program that included navigation (case management) had a 69% success rate in clients exiting to permanent housing where a "safe sleeps" program only had a 7% exit to housing rate. Now we need to under the cost of these programs per client served to determine where we should be investing. Even if the first program mentioned is three times more expensive per client we would move 3 times more people into permanent housing for the same amount of your tax dollars. Oh, and COVID is still around at high transmission rates. We can also talk about anything else on your mind, just give us a call!

LIVE TODAY @ 4:00 pm Pacific, It's the Boze Noze Show! Due to loss of personnel, the District Attorney will not be filing charges in non-violent felonies and misdemeanors. I want people to understand how the is really due to the failures of the state legislature and congress to adequately fund the counties in Oregon for the services they perform on their behalf. Our progressive majority is blatantly trying to lock in appointed positions beyond the first of the year knowing they are about to lose the majority. The board was updated on our affordable housing plan which is leaning to heavily on government built housing. I believe government housing is NOT affordable housing. Government housing is subsidized housing. Next week we are holding a public hearing to get input from the public about placing a new property tax for parks on the ballot in November. We need to hear from everyone and not just park advocates. We can also talk about anything else on your mind, just give us a call!

LIVE TODAY @ 4:00 pm Pacific, It's the Boze Noze Show! It's National Scotch Day! No Board meeting this week so no new Board items to talk about but lots of other issues. The City of Springfield is going to challenge the state on new land use laws being implemented by executive order rather than legislated. A disturbing trend both in Washington DC and Salem is to ignore the separation of powers and just do things from the executive office. Unfortunately with Oregon's system of appointing judges, our state judiciary, which should correct this, is beholding to the the current Governor for their jobs. I am attending the grand opening of our new Parole and Probation facilities at Roosevelt and 99 today, it is sad that if we can't convince the legislature to take action we may be laying off or leaving positions unfilled in this division. The Worlds wrapped up with great showing by Team USA but a pathetic showing in attendance. The Lane County Fair also wrapped up but not without some controversy also. Why do heat waves make so much news today versus the ones I remember from the mid 1990's that were hitting 105 not this weeks 100?

LIVE TODAY @ 4:00 pm Pacific, It's the Boze Noze Show! The World's are here and after telling us for weeks to avoid downtown due to expected traffic and that there may be long waits in restaurants due to lack of staff to handle the extra business, now they are telling folks to come eat in town because the restaurants are not busy. I also warned the Board about asking voters to increase their taxes for parks before we ask them to continue paying higher property taxes for public safety. As the rest of the Board pushed ahead with the Parks Levy we received notice from our District Attorney that she has lost senior staff to Oregon DOJ and has had no applications for several openings. The result may be going back to "no files" on some felonies due to lack of prosecution resources. The Board also is supporting EV's despite our crumbling electric grid and the carbon footprint of battery production. They also continued the process of letting Homes for Good move to little elected official direct oversight despite $58 million annual public revenues being spent. We can also talk about anything else on your mind, just give us a call!
