Clackamas County wants support for land use deal in 2015

The approach follows a letter the commissioners wrote to legislators about how Clackamas County lacks industrial land, and can't create more with the current urban and rural reserves set-up. This all follows the February 2014 Oregon Legislature session when Washington County politicians struck a bargain that reconfigured the urban and rural reserves after an Oregon Appeals Court decision said the county messed up the designations. It's too bad Oregonians got swindled into the whole SB100 back in the 70's. I think most non-Portland voters would have been boldly against it if they knew it meant local cities and counties had to get permission from Portland (via Metro) to develop their land. The light rail smart growth industrial complex that spawned from it has become too big to fail; It has morphed into a intertwined network of crooked politicians, crony developer friends, and militant environmentalist groups, occupying all levels of government and private industry.
