ELECTION 2014 Ward 3 Q&A: Don Libby MailTribune.com Writer Posted Oct. 14, 2014 @ 4:56 pm Updated Oct 15, 2014 at 10:38 AM Posted Oct. 14, 2014 @ 4:56 pm Updated Oct 15, 2014 at 10:38 AM » RELATED CONTENT --> DON LIBBY Age: 31 Education: High school Work: Jackson County Security Political experience: Republican Party of Jackson County... » Read more X DON LIBBY Age: 31 Education: High school Work: Jackson County Security Political experience:  Republican Party of Jackson County • MAP: Medford City Council wards » Social News If elected, what would be your top priority while in office? One of my biggest ones is, I believe, Medford police should have their officers equipped with body cameras, (where) they’re required to have them on during interaction with the public. Other multiple departments across the country have done this. And complaints have dropped dramatically. It helps the police officer against false accusations but it also helps the public with false accusations, as well. Do you think recreational marijuana should be legalized? Should the city continue its ban on medical marijuana dispensaries? I believe in full legalization. In my personal experience, I have worked a lot of cannabis events and I have worked at many bars. In my opinion, I can deal with a person who’s under the influence of marijuana better. I’m far less likely to see them in an anger mode versus with alcohol. How should the city deal with homeless people who cause problems in the parks? We deal with a lot of homeless people, and there have been a lot of problems. I have not put too much thought into that problem, so I couldn’t really give you an idea. On how to correct that, I don’t have enough information to give you an opinion. How would you be different as a leader? I think using social media. I want people to come to the (Facebook) page. They give me their problems, their concerns. We’re going to let other people on the council join in that discussion. That is how I want to connect. I really want to find an easy way to connect with people. I don’t think any other council member does this.   MailTribune.com Writer Posted Oct. 14, 2014 @ 4:56 pm Updated Oct 15, 2014 at 10:38 AM » Comment or view comments Reader Reaction » STAY INFORMED Email NewsLetter Sign Up Today Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox. calendar Connect with MailTribune.com Facebook Twitter RSS Back to top Reader Services Reader Services Home Subscriptions Subscriber controls Contact us Submissions Photos Events Letters to the editor Corrections Announcements Obituaries Story ideas Since you asked Alerts Email Alerts RSS Feeds Text Alerts Advertise Media Kit Home Products and services Ad rates Advertising contacts Mail Tribune Daily Tidings The Nickel Shop Our Valley Blogs Stay Informed Email newsletter Sign Up Today Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
