It’s Sunshine Week Gordon, Release Your Records

Gordon Smith says he’s working too hard and doesn't have time to golf.

Well, it’s Sunshine Week 2008 and Torrid Joe from Loaded Orygun has an appropriate challenge for Gordon Smith’s “working too hard” claim.

Prove it. Release your records.

How many times have you golfed since January 2007 and how many times have you held open town halls just like Ron Wyden does, since January 2007?

Wyden crisscrosses the state every year, holding open town halls publicized well in advance, in every county.

And you Gordon, how many open town halls (not speeches where you might take a question or two from a small, friendly audience, but open forums just like Ron Wyden) have you held since January 2007?

"It’s Sunshine Week," DPO Chair Meredith Wood Smith said. "Release your records and show whether you've spent more time at the country club or more time at open town halls and forums."

The Challenge From Loaded Orygun:

“But we DO know he still gets the chance to play a little golf. Back in June he made time for a fundraiser round with lobbyists at Bandon Dunes, so it's not all (undocumented) work and no play for Gordon. If you're keeping score, that's golf rounds 1, open 'meet your elected official' events 0.

So let's put the question to Gordon Smith: release your records since January 2007. Show us the greens fees from all the golf you played, and then show us all of the open events you've held for your constituents.”
