Quote from the Statesman Journal Jan. 11th reporting on the "Big Look" task force regarding land use law:
"Rep. Brian Clem, a Salem Democrat, will head the House Committee on Agriculture, Natural Resources and Rural Communities. Clem said his committee is unlikely to take up the major land-use bills originated by the task force, but may work on revisions to what uses are allowed in exclusive-farm-use zones. Contrary to its name, the zones allow a myriad of uses not directly related to farming."

Our group has been apprised that one revision will be to limit utilities such as 500 kV lines in EFU zones, thus sparing other farm communities from the misery we have been through.
