Please Support SB 30! - Mark Dohrmann, Portland

(Sent to Senators Morse, Kruse, and Metsger:)

Please support SB 30! Don't let Jefferson County, in it's need for revenue, sell off Metolius Basin development rights to destination resort developers.

Proponents of Destination Resorts would have you believe that the State's interests were served by the process when local hearings where held. Did you know the Camp Sherman Local Advisory Group was NOT consulted? The County, fully aware of the Group, chose NOT to hear from them.

Did you know that the preponderance of testimony was AGAINST destination resorts and large scale development in the basin as injurious to the fragile nature of the Basin?

Holding hearings does NOT mean local interests were considered! It's a check box check off on a list of 'must do's' for the County before going forward.

I am PRO private property rights; always have been, always will be. I don't support injuring special places that are so fragile they simply can't stand Resort Development pressures of water, auto and foot traffic.

Please be sure you understand the impact Destination Resorts will have on the Metolius Basin BEFORE deciding on this very important bill.

Thank you

Mark Dohrmann: Portland, Oregon

Long time visitor of the Metolius River Basin
