The Oregonian Asks If I Could Pass One Bill In The 2015 Session What Is It?

If you could introduce one bill in the 2015 legislative session that would become law, what would it be and why should Oregonians support it? Repeal SB 100 passed in 1973. This would streamline industrial land use laws and restrict excessive regulations. Oregons Land Conservation and Developement Commission (LCDC) is an endless quagmire for Oregon cities, who simply can't jump through the hoops necessary to expand their Urban Growth Boundries (UGB). In the last decade efforts by five cities plus Metro to expand their UGB's have failed, having been rejected by either LCDC or the Oregon appellate courts. We need to remove these barriers to economic developement and job growth.

Recent job losses cut into Oregon's economic growth UO report

A number of industries cut jobs in June, and the state lost a combined 4,300 jobs. Those losses, on top of slowing activity at the Port of Portland and the declining volume of homebuilding permits, weighed on the UO's measure of growth.

A crisis is growing in Oregon’s timber dependent counties along with the Douglas Firs.

Law enforcement is falling apart in that half of the state where you don’t find a Starbucks on every corner. I talked with Sheriff John Bishop, who’s quitting after 6 years of trying to police 16-hundred square miles with only six deputies. Thirty years ago the Willamette Valley contracted gang green ecological insanity and decided that the logging industry had to die…so they killed it. That cut off the life blood of jobs and taxes that supplied paychecks and public services. And Oregon’s 85 percent democrat party congressional delegation doesn’t have any intention of fixing it…nor does John Kitzhaber. A fix is actually easy. This state grows six billion board feet of trees every single year. If we cut, we create 66-thousand permanent, family wage jobs and we’d never run out of trees. Instead, the plan seems to be…let it grow unchecked, till it burns, and let unemployment and crime grow in Oregon’s rural towns till it’s impossible to live there. The only jobs Kitzhaber and company care about are their own. By Lars Larson.

Texas grower to close Oregon nursery, lay off 100!!

CORNELIUS, Ore. (AP) — A Texas grower has announced plans to close a nursery near Cornelius, Oregon, and lay off 100 people. The Oregonian reports that the Berry Family of Nurseries announced the closure Monday in a mandatory notification to Oregon state officials. The letter says the closing and job cuts will occur "on or about" Sept. 30. The company's website says the site in Cornelius, west of Portland, grows evergreen shrubs and trees and produces holiday greenery on 361 acres. It's known as BFN Operations Oregon. The newspaper says BFN will be the second Cornelius-area nursery to lay off dozens of workers this year. Glenn Walters Nursery cut 118 jobs.
