letter from Craig Brookhart


Vote Walt Wagner for Crook County Judge
Published in the Central Oregonian, Tuesday, October 30,2012
            
      Since the beginning of the year, we’ve been talking about making changes in the way our county operates. You’ve heard about the principles of Constitutional government, the need for improved communications and accountability to the people - transparency, effective planning and much more. Many have felt the sting of high unemployment, housing foreclosures and generally have been asking where we are headed as a county.
        It’s certainly been a long year and like you, I’ve heard more than enough campaigning.  The many candidate forums have left little doubt who has the clearer picture of the issues, and who can communicate plans and solutions to deal with them.
        You were told to be afraid of change by an “outsider,” but look around, have you noticed all the changes? Were you asked? Did you know we are still fighting to protect our reservoir, or that even more changes are on the way? 
        After a contentious primary and an even 3-way split, Walt Wagner threw his hat into the ring recognizing we need a change in our local government. Opportunistic?  Yes, absolutely. Two thirds of you opted for new management and I expect you are still hoping for it. Well, now is your chance. 
        It’s time for principled leadership and an improved outlook for our county. Let’s make it happen in this election cycle. The best ideas are on the table, so let’s take advantage of them when we cast our vote.

Sincerely,
Craig Brookhart
Prineville
