Ok, let's discuss this.

Ed Barlow-Pieterick is running for re-election. One of his stated goals
is to "protect livability". 

However, his actions do not match his words. I consider livability to
include not having to throw other people's trash away. I consider
livability to include respecting other people's private property
rights. Mr.  Barlow-Pieterick, by his actions, does not. This evening I
was forced to remove some of Mr. Barlow-Pieterick's campaign
advertising from my property where it had been left two inches from an
sign which says "No Solicitation, No Tresspassing. No Flyers, Handbills
or Advertising." Do you see any ambiguity in that sign? Mr.
Barlow-Pieterick does. "No" does not apply to him.

Mr. Barlow-Pieterick cannot honor a simple, written request not to
leave his advertising on someone else's property.  He is the wrong
person to have on the City Council, and I would hope that others will
join me in voting this fellow out. At least, if you have been the
victim of his paper spam, tell him what you think of such activity.

If you need a second reason, consider the Riverfront Park development
which he takes credit for supporting. This is a $13.1 MILLION dollar
fiasco financed by Corvallis property owners to rebuild the recently
rebuilt riverfront park. It will make 1st street even less usable than
it is now, and tries to stop nature from doing what it is going to do
anyway. 

If you doubt this, take some time to study what happens when people
dump riprap on the beach in an attempt at protecticing their property.
The short term effect is to cause worse problems for their neighbors.

No on Ed, no on 2-68.
