RESTORE The Original SB 30 - Joe Fox, Eugene

Dear Senator Walker: As one of your constituents in Eugene, I write
to express my complete disappointment with the SB 30 amendments. The
Committee's failure to protect the Metolius, after all of the process
that preceded the hearing, is hard to swallow. I need not repeat all
of the reasons the Metolius should be protected. You have heard them
all already. The committee, with the exception of Sen. Westlund,
seems to have no sense of passing a natural treasure down to the
children of Oregon. You might as well pass a bill opening up all
college accounts in Oregon to be free for the taking by anyone who
would like a little money. If our own Senators don't have a sense of
protecting natural heritage areas for our children, who will? We
vote people into office on the belief that they will look beyond
immediate profit seeking ventures and consider the interests of the
future generations who will inherit this state and all of its
priceless natural resources.

Please RESTORE original SB 30, however you can do it, and do not
allow this horrible compromise to go forward!

Joseph William Fox
Eugene, Oregon
