Logue claims to have met with Rice family at 6 specific meetings…BUT, official meeting records prove otherwise.
(Marysville) – Dan Logue says he met with the Rice family 6 specific times when he pushed through an eminent domain seizure of their farm. Logue used this so-called “fact” to respond to the Rice’s telling their story about the seizure.
The problem for Dan Logue is that, according to official minutes of these public meetings, he was absent 5 of the 6 meetings, and his attendance cannot be confirmed for the 6th, where he is recorded neither speaking to the Rice’s nor commenting on any other issue. Dan Logue has refused to comment about the discrepancy between his claims and the actual public record.
In the spirit of fairness if Mr. Logue wishes to respond he will have the same space as we’ve given this article
“Dan Logue turned his back on the Rice’s plea to keep their family farm,” said Horne Spokesman Tim Clark. “He refused to attend the meetings, refused to consider their case, and refused to negotiate until the Rice’s had to spend tens of thousands of dollars to bring him to the negotiating table. This is one of the starkest and worst examples of eminent domain abuse in the entire state, and the official public record convicts Dan Logue as the mastermind and chief perpetrator in this case.”
“Even individual members of the state reclamation board apologized to the Rice family for how they were treated,” continued Clark. “Dan Logue has nowhere to hide on this issue. It’s time to end eminent domain abuse, and retiring Dan Logue from public office would be a good start.”
Logue claims to have heard Rice testimony at 6 meeting dates (12/21/07, 11/16/07, 10/19/07, 9/21/07, 9/11/07, and 8/17/07), but official meeting records show Logue DID NOT attend 5 of the 6 meetings (12/21/07, 11/16/07, 10/19/07, 9/21/07, and 8/17/07) and his attendance when Rice presented cannot be confirmed for the 6th meeting. At that meeting, Supervisor Dan Logue is not recorded as having asked any questions, having been asked any questions, nor did he make any statements on any issue.
