It is very sad to say, but MONEY TALKS, and unfortunately it is not TAXPAYER DOLLARS. How can those who we choose to represent us and protect us overlook such critically important data? Obviously, citizens did everything in their power to follow the appropriate legal course of action to protect their homes and families from an unjust situation. It worries me when those we entrust can't hear the voices of the people, just those with deep pockets and political connections. Your community deserves better.

Who loses and who gains in this situation???

Will those in OWRD help you when your wells run dry? Will they support you when your house burns down without ample water to put out the sparks? Sounds like the people made a mistake in trusting OWRD, Clackamas County, and even our Senator to do the right thing.

Technicalities just provide excuses for people to do the wrong thing. What about integrity and doing the right thing?

After reading about Tori Mor and Pete's Mountain, I have lost faith in these Oregonian leaders of Clackamas County, Yamhill County and the OWRD to do the right thing. Shame on technicalities. Stand up for what is right.
