receptions, dinners, entertainment, and
golf… at a beautiful resort! What more
could you ask for?
Still up this fall will be the OSHA
training around the state that John
Sallak will be doing for OTA. This
training is the result of the OSHA
grant we received earlier this year and
not only will it be worth your time—it
will be free! We will be posting a
schedule on the Weekly Express as
these get scheduled, so watch for that.
Additionally, we will be doing more
On the Road sessions this fall to talk
about the 2017 legislative session and
bring you up to speed on all of the
programs and services that OTA has to
offer you. Again, watch for those
details in the Weekly Express.
And lastly, you will notice in this edition
of the Dispatch that there are a number
of difficult political issues and some
contentious elections percolating this
fall. We have tried to bring information
to you to help you better understand
what’s at stake this year. Measure 97, by
itself, would be enough to consider, but
when you combine that with the variety
of other initiatives and difficult
candidate elections you know that this
year is not a year to sit on the sidelines.
Take the time to read and educate
yourself on the issues. Reach out to us if
you want to have some perspective on
either issues or candidates. Remember,
as American ambassador and diplomat
Chester Bowles once said, “Government
is too big and too important to be left to
the politicians.” Be involved! 
