Blumenauer to address Willamette River Superfund Clean Up and Hemp Production

Congressman Earl Blumenauer (OR-CD03) Is hosting two interactive forums this week. Both events are free and open to the public. The first one was yesterday (Tuesday) on International Water and Sanitation. He has been working on"Water for the World” legislation that would significantly improve access to clean water and sanitation. Seriously, Rep. Blumenauer? With Coliform Bacteria in the Willamette River, Muddy water coming out of our neighborhood faucets, and the two polluted industrial properties along the Willamette River where NW Natural buried tar left over from gas plants that stopped operating in 1956. The company’s most recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission shows its liability for the Superfund cleanup is at least $43 million. His wife, Margaret D. Kirkpatrick, is senior vice president and general counsel for NW Natural. The utility last year awarded her $769,080 in total compensation. Then your second forum this Saturday November 9th at 10:00 AM on Industrial Hemp in Oregon. "It’s time to start growing industrial hemp in Oregon". Representative, it's time for you to get off your bike, remove the bow tie, roll up your sleaves and start to do the work that Oregonian's elected you to do 41 years ago in 1972!! Please Rep. Blumenauer lets have safe, clean drinking water here in Oregon and stop smoking the pot for now. If Hemp was a viable cash crop other countries around the world would be growing it. Thank You.
