Another Quote of the Day
From Oregon education guru Rob Kremer, on the Metro government's Open Spaces Initiative:
They want another $220 million to buy land for habitat protection. What a farce. About 96% of Oregon is open space already. The only reason we feel crowded inside the UGB is because land use laws won't let us build outside of it. So Metro wants money to mitigate a "problem" its own policies have created.Well said.

I couldn't agree more with what Mr. Kremer has said about another proposed Metro property buying spree. Sorry Metro - we already have more than enough "space" in Oregon. Did you folks ever notice that NO OTHER STATE has the adopted Oregon's pathetic land use laws?
As a homeowner here in Oregon I suggest everyone send Metro a loud message that we don't need to buy anymore "space". We already have plenty!
