Petition to save Tv Butte in Oakridge! Activism

If we let this project happen, local tourism will go down which will take away jobs and harm our economy, on top of the environment. Here’s hoping I can post the link in the comments?

You're claiming that Tina Kotek's DEQ is derelict?

And, if anything, it's like a match on a fire.

I’m telling you where it is because I live there

Oakridge is on the headwaters of the Willamette and this butte is in between two of those creeks

Yes, and the DEQ is in charge of protection of those resources.

Resources have to come from somewhere.

We have a gravel pit already it’s been operating for 50+ years

It may not contain aggregate that will meet the standards of future development. Mineral extraction isn't cheap, I'm guessing there's a reason why a new source is being considered.

Nope it’s just Ed King looking for profit.

That's an opinion. And apparently a biased one.

The concept of business is to profit.

By default the sentence holds water 💦 lol

I don’t need a smarmy economics lesson. You claimed the other mine wasn’t low on deposits and that there is no need for this second mine. Those are the claims I’d like proof for.

It’s a quarry

Go find your proof the contrary

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ They are your claims. Not backing them up just means your argument potentially has no merit and that you are willing to act in bad faith
