Quite Possibly the Most Unique River in the World - Tracy Boyer, Bend

[Sent to Senators Westlund, Johnson, Walker, Metsger, Morse, and Kruse:]

Quite Possibly the Most Unique River in the World

I am IMPLORING all of our elected officials step up to the plate in Support of SB30 to Protect and Preserve this amazing place we call the Metolius River Basin.
It comes right down to not just the spectacular beauty of the place, not just the mesmerizing, jewel colored river, but the type of leaders we have in office and how they will be remembered for generations to come. It takes strength and courage, the likes of which we have not seen since Theodore Roosevelt - who created over 150 National Forests, 18 National Monuments and 5 National Parks - to preserve such a place. We have seen greed and growth run rampant in this state, with little or no effort to conserve what special places we have left. Where are the Tom McCall "conservatives" when we need them??
I ask you straightforwardly Senators and Congressmen, How will you be remembered and will you do the right thing when it comes to this most spectacular and special place ~ The Metolius River and its Basin?
