Staying True To Our Values - Mara Stein, Bend

Senator Vicki Walker, Chair
900 Court St. NE S-210
Salem, OR 97301

Dear Senator Walker:

I want to take this opportunity to also express my strong support for Senate Bill 30 which would ban destination resorts from being located in or within three miles of the Metolius River Basin.

The Metolius River basin is one of our precious natural environments in Oregon. We are already experiencing serious repercussions to the density buildups..and the destination resort construction in our tri-county area in Central Oregon. This is an important time to stay true to our values of the quality of life we want to preserve here...before the area becomes another unfortunate statistic.

I am also sending this e-letter to your Senate colleagues : Sponsor Sen. Ben Westlund, Sen. Jeff Kruse, Sen. Rick Metsger, Sen. Frank Morse, & Rep. John Dallum.

Thank you for the good work you do on behalf of the citizens of Oregon!
