Our Environment

Measure 49

I worked hard for the passage of Measure 49 protecting Oregon’s farm and timber land from destruction by big developers. I also support the estate tax exclusion to protect farming families from losing their farms due to taxes.

The Big Look

I support continued funding of the Big Look Task Force to ensure that the state's land use system sustains the quality of our environment and the beauty of our landscape while building an economy that assures the prosperity of Oregon's citizens and communities.

The Task Force believes these outcomes will be achieved by investing in future as well as present generations and by insisting upon timely, adaptable and reasonable programs and policies that recognize regional differences and emphasize partnerships between our people and businesses and state, regional and local governments to provide the best public services.

No LNG

We must not allow our farms, orchards, vineyards, forest lands, coast line, and personal safety to be sacrificed to satisfy corporate greed.
