The reason they have to hire a firm to come in and conduct the survey is so that they can swing the data in their favor. It's a big song and dance.. It's slide of hand. You poll the correct people and you get the results you want and try to sway people into thinking with the majority. I agree they should have conducted the survey themselves! They should have went door to door or sent emails out asking Lane county residents. How about inviting people to come talk about it and fill out a survey while they are there. We need to get together and vote this dumb idea down AGAIN. Let these people know we aren't joking when we say "NO!!!!"

the poll cost us $20,000 in tax dollars to conduct, and the commissioners didn't even use an agency from the same state to do it with. The agency was from Fullerton, California. So I guess we can really trust the commissioners to earn their $70,000 annual salary? What a joke. They couldn't get off their dead butts and out of their offices and ask some of the citizens questions? Go knock on doors, make calls? Nope. Not one penny more for these people.
