Hello Senator Westlund:
[Sent to all State Senators]
Thank you for your dedication on SB30. I want to encourage the entire Senate to support the ORIGINAL SB30 not the new version. Now is the critical moment to preserve an exquisite unspoiled area of our state. The Metolius River is in danger of pollution, over use, and restriction. After living in Central Oregon for 30 years we have seen some very special places built up, trees torn down, restrictions=ruined. Please ask that the resorts be BANNED in and within a three mile radius of the Metolius River Basin. The amendments have weakened the bill that needs to be strong and clear.

Senate Bill 30 was an effort to prevent destination resorts in or near the Metolius River Basin. The bill died in committee in the House.
Because efforts to protect the Metolius will continue, this library of letters remains posted as a testament to the broad support the bill received.
