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?

The biodynamic community, farmers, and certifiers need roads and gravel more than the average human. Farms require tons of gravel to maintain their operations. They know the value and purpose of industry because they too produce a commodity.

And boycotting King Estate? It’s a national brand. Maybe even an international brand.

They also care (or should) about how resources are used, in this case the quarry is not needed and is a money grab by using a public resource land use lease to produce rock from a public source to sell to the government...

Why should mr big make money off of selling us our own rock?

This rock is not going to the farms...

and yeah your not going to get much traction on a boycott.... or a petition... but if you want to stand outside a winery and waste your time, go ahead...

really you are not going to stop the money machine, but I see you missed the overall substance of my post in an attempt to dissagree

It actually sounds like he owns the quarry or the rights. And the property is a former mine, and is still zoned as such. Who cares who he is or how much money he has?? This all seems like a thinly veiled attack on his success, not his actual character or intent… and that is pathetic.

He is a citizen of the USA just like you and I, and if he has the means to purchase something designated by law and zoned by experts in the appropriate fields, he has a right to do that. If he has the ambition to make it a feasible resource and operational business, which is a boon to all of us in the immediate community who need it, and a net benefit for all the people who benefit from the taxes it generates, then more power to him.

Some people have very little understanding of industry/manufacturing and how everything in their comfortable lives literally depends upon it.
