Return SB 30 To Its Original Form - Al and Jane Krause, Sisters

To Members of the Oregon Senate Rules Committee
[and copied to Reps. Merkley, Hunt, and Roblan]:

I write to you to ask for your support to return SB30 to its original form as it was introduced by Senator Ben Westlund. As you know the intent of the bill was to prevent any destination resort development within three miles of the Metolius river watershed in order to protect this pristine Oregon treasure from the real and potential harm of such development. I would venture to say that no one who has been to the Metolius basin and had time to see and experience the bond with nature that this river provides would object to it's special protection except, perhaps, those who might profit from such development. The current SB30 has been modified to, in essence, eliminate the intent for which it was created. Please restore SB30 to it's original form. Current and future Oregonians will remember what you did and thank you for having done the right thing.
