Senate Bill 30 Passes Senate with 19 votes - LandWatch

Hello SB 30 Supporters:

It gives us great pleasure to announce to you that mere moments ago, Senate Bill 30 passed the Senate floor by the wide margin of 19-11! That’s a resounding victory!!

We’ve also just learned that the Warm Springs Tribes – upon whose decision we’ve been anxiously awaiting – have informed the legislature that they are completely behind Senate Bill 30, so that gives the bill an extra push as it heads into the House.

So take a moment and pat yourselves on the back for a job well done.

A lot of work remains ahead to get the bill through the House, but we’ll worry about that just a little bit later.

P.S. It was on this day (May 22nd) in 1902 that President Roosevelt established Crater Lake as the nation’s fifth National Park. Thanks to Senator Rick Metsger for pointing this out and making a very appropriate comparison during a floor speech in which he announced his strong support for Senate Bill 30.
