“As the chair of the meeting, you have the authority to start the meeting, move through the agendas, and end the meeting.

“So there's another vision here, though. In Oregon, in our state land use system, urban growth boundary is very important, very sacred. And one of the things that I had come to years ago is that wouldn't it be wonderful if we could load balance this state? Some of these small incorporated communities, being able to have them thrive and be vibrant. High speed internet, home delivery, new construction, low cost of energy. We have got an opportunity to be able to load balance across eastern Oregon with the existing urban growth boundaries even. So there's huge opportunities to enjoy and celebrate…”

As I say, I've really enjoyed my partnership with Union County, Crook, Jefferson, Mollier, Klamath, Harney, Wallowa, Sherman, Gilliam, getting to know the commissioners all up and down, knowing that there's camaraderie in the high desert on the east side of the Cascades, and looking for those opportunities to help each one of those counties thrive and look for a positive future. But with this transition of a board, I don't feel comfortable writing this check and walking out the door.”

But that'll have to be relationships by the next board of commissioners. And obviously, Commissioner Chang, you have your positions.”
