<p dir="ltr">All,</p>
<p dir="ltr">Important Update: upon our review this evening, the library website still lacks any information about the upcoming vote, what appears on the ballot, and what the plan is for the community if it passes or fails. It is not just news articles and pro comments that have been removed. shared on Facebook and time stamped 9/29/16 at 4:33 p.m.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Voters have the right to know about all elections and public libraries should be able to inform them with facts. What is happening in Douglas County, Oregon is wrong. Sign this petition today to let the city Commissioners know how you feel.</p>

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.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:calibri,sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:calibri,sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)">Thank you,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:calibri,sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:calibri,sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)">Chris Boice<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:calibri,sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)">Douglas County Commissioner<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:calibri,sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)">Courthouse Rm 217<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:calibri,sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)">1036 S.E.
