A Note from Tillamook Cheese


The personality of the month profile for Carol Marie Leuthold has been removed by request of her family.


We here at the Tillamook County Creamery Association (TCCA), appreciate the opportunity to share the following information with you.


On Friday, November 27, Carol Marie Leuthold, a member of the TCCA dairy cooperative, wrote a letter opposing Measures 66 and 67, which was mailed to voters in Oregon. The campaign opposing the measures obtained addresses from Oregon state voting records and mailed 950,000 letters to voting households across the state.


While Carol Marie and her family are one of the more than 110 dairy farm families who are members of TCCA, producers of Tillamook dairy products, her letter was not sent on behalf of TCCA or our other dairy farm families.


The letter from Carol Marie reflects her personal views on Measures 66 and 67.


There is no clear consensus among our member dairy farmers regarding these measures. Consequently, as a farmer-owned cooperative, TCCA has not taken a position on Measures 66 and 67. However, we respect our members’ ability to participate in the political environment of their own accord.


For the past 100 years, we have been committed to providing consumers with the best tasting, highest quality Tillamook dairy products, and this remains our mission today.


Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions or comments. Your thoughts are important to us.

 


Sincerely,
Heidi Luquette
