An Essential Bill - Joe Kuehn, Salem

Dear Representative Merkley,

Please schedule SB 30 as early as possible in your committee, It is essential that this bill get to the floor for a vote before the legislative session ends.

SB 30, in the thinking of hundreds of Oregonians, is one of the top five environmental bills to come before the legislature in the last decade.

There has been tremendous public concern expressed in keeping magnet mega resorts away from pristine land such as the Metolius Basin. Only a few of many reasons stated are:
excessive population pressure placed upon a delicate and fragile ecosystem
severe threat to depletion of ground water resources and the spring fed Metolius River.
greatly increased traffic congestion and dangerous atmospheric increase in CO2 emissions
Your utmost attention is requested to get this extremely important bill passed into law as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

Joe Kuehn
Salem, OR
