Calling Oregon's U.S. Senators - Al Krause, Sisters

[Sent to U.S. Senators Wyden and Smith:]

I write to seek your help preventing the potential harm that could occur to the Metolius River basin with the recent decision by Jefferson county to allow for destination resort development in close proximity to the Metolius river. The Metolius is a federally protected river with "wild and scenic" designation as you know. State Senator Ben Westlund has attempted to avert development near the Metolius with state senate bill SB30, but it has been passed in committee without any protection of the river. Is there anything the Federal government can do to protect this Oregon "treasure" from being ruined?

Respectfully,
Al Krause
Sisters, OR
