Dear Rep. Chip Shields:
I am writing to express my full support for Senate Bill 30, a bill that will protect the pristine Metolius River Basin from development that will destroy a state treasure. Destination resort development within the Metolius River Basin will harm a special place that all Oregonians and their future generations should be able to enjoy into perpetuity. Trophy homes, golf courses, and hotels do not belong in a basin that contains a federally designated Wild and Scenic River. I encourage you and all your fellow Representatives to have a vision for the future and support Senate Bill 30. Thank you for your time and support.

Senate Bill 30 was an effort to prevent destination resorts in or near the Metolius River Basin. The bill died in committee in the House.
Because efforts to protect the Metolius will continue, this library of letters remains posted as a testament to the broad support the bill received.
