“A website about Boyer’s legal past started circulating in the county on Thursday through Facebook and emails. The party who created the website is unknown as the site’s URL was purchased Wednesday from an Arizona proxy firm that shields the identity of the buyer,”

Interesting. Probably just a coincidence that Starrett and her Mini Me came to Oregon from Arizona.

Wow, she struggled in her youth, accepted responsibility and paid the consequences! What a monster!

Whoever is circulating the Facebook urls and emails(? really?) should be ashamed. They won't be, people like that have no shame, but it won't make their bad candidates any better, or get them any more votes.

CubFan

bonnnybedlam... I completely agree. Barbara is an upstanding person. Who among us hasn't done something we regret? It's sad that Lindsay and/or her supporters are dragging this up. Shame on you! Barbara has my vote!

Motherof3

I have friends who lost loved ones to a DUII driver or will never have a life they can enjoy due to serious injuries. She was jailed and under probation when elected to the Yamhill County Water and Soil District. Did she disclose that then?

Drunk driving is a choice. The track record concerns me and also dishonesty on how she's been campaigning is also concerning.

My feelings 100% on “Mini Me“ aka Lindsay đź‘Ť

Having one candidate in lockstep and funded by a sitting board member is not a good thing....I much prefer independent thought and decisions....

jodie

I have corrected the profile about Lindsay Berschauer to delete the reference to Commissioner Mary Starrett contributing financially to her campaign. Starrett is not among the contributors.

A correction will published in Tuesday's paper.

I find this pattern of behavior is a great concern Mrs. Boyer wrote a bad check and would not comply with the guidelines of diversion and still the left backs her.

A Drunk driver destroyed my nephews life and even though it's been thirty years he has never recovered his life has never been the same and the cavalier way most of you tak on here is repulsive. Drunk driving,impaired driving is one of the most selfish, thoughtless and hateful things a person can do and Barbara wants a "do over" and KUlla says "we're going to give you another shot at this". My nephew doesn't get "another shot" at living a happy,healthy , normal life. There's no coming back from complete paralysis and there is no coming back from this. Although I would not have voted for Barbara and it's all fine and good that she had a chance to "better herself" a chance she and her ilk take away from other who are completely innocent.
I would expect drugs and alcohol to go together so Kulla the pot farmer/pusher endorses Boyer, no shock here.

Her DUI, though not a good thing is really not the main issue in the situation as I would be hard pressed to find to many individuals in Yamhill County that has NOT had a DUI at some point in their past.
It is all the other charges, the fact that she did not comply, fraud, bad check writing and not complying with the LAW.
You past is a good indication of who you have become as a person. If she in FACT learned from her years of unlawfulness then why would she have not disclosed all this from the beginning KNOWING it is all public record? I will tell you why, she is sneaky and shady and will be that way in office as well because by hiding her past shows she has NOT learned anything and therefore is bound to repeat it.
Yamhill had many issues facing it BEFORE COVID-19, it is in even worse conditions now and we need a leader not someone who uses her position to execute unlawful deeds.
I will be honest, she has quite the past record from the looks of it, but had she said "Hey, Yamhill I messed up years ago." I would totally view her in a different light and say hey she had got balls to stand up for her mistakes, be transparent and still want to tackle politics, good on her!
But, she took a risk, it came out in an unflattering light and she is now playing the victim.
Day late, and a dollar short.
Lindsay Berschauer IS this counties next commissioner!

Mary Starrett’s husband đź’°(RAF Enterprises - Same address as Mary Starrett

Mary Starrett’s brother’s out of town group đź’°

Stella

RAF (Mary Starrett’s husband same address for RAF that Mary lives) Gave the first donation I believe..

Shepard

Steela, another interesting connection is that Starrett and Berschauer also have the same campaign treasurer who lives 250 miles away in Bandon. To me this is one of the most major concerns about Berschauer - enabling Starrett to run rampant. What Berschauer doesn't realize is that Starrett is a fair weather friend only as long as it advances her agenda. If Berschauer ever takes an opposing view, Starrett will drop her like a rock. Just ask Primozich. If Berschauer wins, we are in big trouble in this county.

Jim

Let me see do I want to vote for someone with rather dubious past or somebody that stands up for lower taxes and the second amendment. I think Lindsay is my choice.

Stella

Shepard.

Totally agree đź‘Ť

Stella

Jim: “Let me see do I want to vote for someone with rather dubious past or somebody that stands up for lower taxes and the second amendment.”

Lindsay aka “mini me” has a dubious past and present. She files her half million dollar lawsuit swearing she didn’t live with her boyfriend last summer... but, unfortunately, she had filed with the State of Oregon for her campaign committee previously .... and swears she did. Boyfriend swears in lawsuit she lived with him as well. Honestly and a good memory are very important. Otherwise she may “forget” what she ran on.

Your leaving out the third candidate with the “quiet campaign”. Isn’t that a little appealing right about now 🇺🇸

Jim

Stella I’ve dealt with insurance companies so I am not making any calls on that. I just know who I’m voting for and that’s somebody that covers most of my needs as a political candidate.

yupjoe

Thirty Years in Yamhill County the ads say? She moved here only after meeting her husband. So 22 years? It sounds like stretching the truth to me.

yupjoe

Century farm? Her husband's family has only been in Yamhill county since they moved here from Corvallis is the 40's. That is only 80 years. It sounds like stretching the truth to me.

yamhillbilly2

Jodie removing the reference to Mary Starrett donating to Lindsay is a bit untruthful. Mary is a dirty player in politics and she is donating through her husband’s RAF Enterprises and her brother’s OFF organization. She shares a campaign treasurer from Bandon with Lindsay. How much more evidence do you need to see Lindsay is a ‘mini me’ of Mary? Mini me and Mary working together will give us another round of dysfunctional county government just like we went through with the George/Lewis era. Do a little digging on Lindsay and it doesn’t take long to come up with some of her ‘antics’ as a political consultant. She is precisely what Mary needs as a commissioner to help push her agenda.

madmacs

Someone who has worked to make the county a better place for 20 years versus a hand picked shill who gets most of her money from outside the county and has never paid taxes here? I know who my vote is going to.

Jim

Yamhillbilly2 you don’t think we’re going to have the same thing with Kulla and Boyer? Two liberal progressives trying to shove their ideologies on the county with taxpayer money.

Kat758

Conservatives wear blinders.

tagup

Voters should value a candidate’s independent thought and reject collusion.

Jim

Kat758 and liberals are perfect?

Stella

Jim

Watch the video or listen to the audio from Thursday’s Commissioner meeting....... and ask yourself if 2 YCAP members on the BOC, vs 1, would be a great idea.

Stella

I asked how a YCAP individual is allowed on BOC and I was told a year ago no “County money goes to YCAP” in writing.

Well watch Thursday’s meeting as Starrett says “no” ( lol vs excusing herself) and the other two vote to give YCAP county funds.

Mary Starrett said herself having Stern on the budget committee was a conflict of interest... so last year they picked her “mini me” instead.

PS. If YCAP member, who’s on the BOC, votes “NO” they should have voted NO. If it walks like a duck.,,

Yes exactly

Steve Pearson

I’m voting for Boyer. It strikes me both she and Casey Kulla are liberal-leaning moderates. Since they both farm, if there are issues I disagree with them on it will probably be where they favor the farmers. Having two commissioners favoring agriculture seems appropriate for Yamhill County. In most decisions I expect they would choose the practical solution, whatever is best for the county.

Sue

Barbara Boyer has my vote! Who among us doesn't have regrets in our past and why is this just now coming out? I feel she is the best for our county.

treefarmer


It appears that some folks cloak their glass houses in anonymity and feel free to cast stones? Who among us does not have a rough patch in our past? It is very encouraging to read comments reflecting the fact that Yamhill citizens seem determined to evaluate the candidates with an eye for the person who has the best interests of our county on her agenda.

We do NOT need any additional extremism on the BOC. We need dedication and experience.

We need Barbara Boyer.

Stella

I have never been arrested or had a DUI. What bothered me was the jail time and the reason for it.

Before this article appeared, it was her connection with Sedcor (who received a 2 year contract with the County in November, 2019).

I’m not a fan of sitting Commissioners receiving money from the County for their other affiliations. To me it’s a conflict of interest. Example: Mary Starrett (or “Mini Me”) with YCAP, which received money last Thursday.

Stella

Also... the “rough patch” stretched from 1990’s to 2015, more than a “few years”.

The timing of the article is very sad and stating she “largely settled down” after her marriage I found odd... the DUI (and jail time) occurred 14 years after she was married.

seekingtruth

I support Barbara for BOC. Out of the 3 candidates, she is the best choice.

However, I find it troubling that she was caught and convicted for 2 counts of DUII in 1991 and 2013. I believe in second chances...but why didn't she learn from her first conviction in 1991? Why is Barbara making excuses that she couldn't follow the diversion program in 2015? Many others are able to successfully navigate the diversion program with far fewer privileges than Barbara.

I more disappointed that these crimes negatively affect others such as endangering others while Barbara drives intoxicated. How about the shop owner who doesn't get paid because Barbara knowingly bounced a check?

Barbara, where is your apology?

Hibb

Boyer's criminal history pales in comparison to that of others and the only thing that separates her from Starter is that Boyer has been caught and convicted.

Bill B

The last thing we need is another farmer On The Board of Commissioners

tagup

I seem to recall agriculture as the primary industry in Yamhill county....

Bill B

I'm fairly confident that the number of farmers is far less than 2/3 of the county population

tagup

And far more than self employed political activists....
