Background Information of John West and Recall:
John West campaigned to cut waste and make our county run
. He is doing just that and doing a good job. John West
won his election by 57%. John West was elected to: reduce, streamline,
and make Josephine County government more efficient. As a taxpayer burdened by the excessive fees and tax levies, I am happy
to see these changes. Cleaning out the dead wood is a welcome positive move.
If you are considering signing the recall, I highly recommend that you
familiarize yourself with the facts, the content of the petition, and
the response to the recall petition. Here are several informative links
and resources to assist you in making an informed decision:
