Community college board chairman launches campaign for Lane County Board

Community college board chairman launches campaign for Lane County Board: Lane Community College Board Chairman Tony McCown on Saturday launched his campaign for the north Eugene seat on the county Board of Commissioners. “For the past number of years, I’ve seen the conservative majority on the commission make a series of decisions that just don’t seem in tune with the values of the district,” McCown said. McCown, who will run against incumbent Commissioner Pat Farr, kicked off his campaign with a mid-­afternoon event at Cozmic in downtown Eugene.
