Write a Letter to the Editor

Measure 37 has resulted in roughly 7000 claims that threaten Oregon's valuable farm and forest land, communities and our cherished quality of life.

Addressing the havoc created by Measure 37 is a top priority of Governor Ted Kulongoski and the 2007 legislature. Legislative leaders created the Joint Special Committee on Land Use Fairness to develop Measure 37 reform proposals.

Please consider writing to your local or regional newspaper. The legislature is under tremendous pressure from those that oppose reform of Measure 37.
