This discussion exemplifies why the states should NOT have authority over this process. The state government is too weak to follow through on projects that are important to other states. 

This makes sense because the state government would not allow this project to continue if it was up to them. The Federal government needs to makes these decisions because they are responsible for more than Oregon, and can make tough decisions that the state can't.
