Urging Your Support - Marianne Fellner, Bend

[Sent to Senators Westlund, Morse, Metsger, Kruse, and Walker, and Reps. Whisnant, Burley, and Dallum, and Gov. Ted Kulongoski:]

I urge you to support SB30 and protect the Metolius River from the encroaching pressures of developments and destination resorts. As a unique, world-class resource, the Metolius River and it's drainage basin deserves the same protection granted to protect the Columbia River Gorge. The Metolius' natural beauty and unique ecology should not be commercialized into environmental degradation. Please support laws that protect our natural resources from rampant development and exploitation. We must maintain a buffer around our natural treasures.

Thank you,

Marianne Fellner
