Petition to save Tv Butte in Oakridge!

[u/Turbulent-Law7722]

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?

Tourism doesn't really bring that many jobs to Oakridge and it never will, and what it does bring are minimum wage and part time. The town is too close to the high Cascades to be much of a destination in its own right. The only real appeal is mountain biking, but that can't carry the town (and could die off even without the help of the quarry if the wildfires continue to get worse). I'm against the project myself, but not because of people.
