Country walking, sprawl & measure 49
Tuesday, November 6th, 2007From my friend Noah Magram on a subject that I think is very relevant to walkers in Oregon:
Today is the last day to vote on Measure 49! Please vote yes and save Oregon from massive sprawl. A defeat of Measure 49 is not something that can be undone! Once the pavement goes in, the farmland never comes back. Hood river valley is set to be one of the hardest hit. Want more condos and strip malls in covering some of the most beautiful farmland in the country? Then don’t vote.
If you didn’t get a ballot, or have moved, you can still get one. All it takes is a quick trip to the Multnomah Country Elections office on 11th and Morrison - they’re open until 8pm tonight. I went with a friend yesterday and we were in and out in under 10 minutes!
This is critical to Oregon’s future. Please vote and bring a friend!
Agreed!
