November 2, 2010 - Election

Jason Freilinger - Candidate for Marion County Commissioner Position #1

After the City of Salem legalizes backyard chickens, those of you who live on county islands within the urban growth boundary will still need to convince the county to follow suit. I met Jason recently at the politician cook-off  & sustainability fair (see picture on left) and he definately supports the chicken-keeping ordinance. Keep this in mind when you vote on November 2, 2010.
