[Libs-Or] petition response

[Traci Willey]

This is the email I received in response to signing the Douglas County
petition:

The information that you received regarding the removal of voter
information is inaccurate.  There was a link from the library’s webpage to
news articles and letters to the editor regarding the proposed library
taxing district in Douglas County.  However, only links to “pro” articles
and letters to the editor in the paper were included while no links to
“con” arguments were included.  This is representative of a partial
perspective which is contrary to State Law.  The website was temporarily
disrupted while the IT department at the library was asked to either remove
the link to the news stories, or modify it to be all inclusive.  There was
no suppression of information by the commissioners.  The steps taken were
in an effort to create exactly what you are advocating for, a free and fair
election by an informed electorate.  Please don’t make false accusations
without verifying the facts in the future.



Thank you,
