Do NOT Weaken This Bill - Mark Dohrmann, Portland

Dear Most Honorable Representatives:

Please pardon my 'mass mailing' but I understand time is sort for the issue of which I write you now.

I have been following with great interest the progress of SB 30, the bill to restrict Destination Resorts in the Metolius Basin. I am an ardent supporter of this bill, as it is drafted. I AM aware that one or more developers have made representations and offered certain 'considerations' in an attempt to have the bill amended.

Do NOT weaken this bill! It is intended to protect an extremely fragile State Treasure, and it is our (YOUR) obligation to see it protected. The amendments proposed will NOT provide protection to the Metolius Basin. If you are at all unsure of this fact then please have staffers study if most carefully. Once this special place is developed further their will be no way to get it back. The uniqueness that draws Oregonians and other visitors both nationally and internationally will be gone forever.

Vote in favor of SB 30.

Thank you for your careful study and vote of support on this important issue, in the interest of Oregonians.
