Newspaper Page Textable to access health care, while rates go down for those who purchase their own in- surance, everyone wins. Even though this yes vote imposes an assessment on insurance companies and health care providers, they support it too! They aren’t actually losing money, but in- stead investing in commerce. It keeps costs down when we have health care. Our preventative appointment opportunities keep us out of the all-too- expensive ER visit that would otherwise raise rates; less visits there means health care prices stay lower. This yes vote on Measure 101 will mean no more cuts to Medicaid. Our most vulnerable Oregonians will be able to ac- cess health care alongside the 210,000 who will see an estimated 6 percent decrease in the rates they pay. I should mention that participants of both the Democratic and the Republican parties agreed on this plan. Danielle Marelli Eugene LET ME BE CLEAR To whoever took my yard sign: BLACK LIVES MATTER.

Con J aq u a Shedd Theatricals 2017 DON’T GET STUMPED, OREGON How would you feel if Oregon’s bed- rock environmental laws were suddenly suspended so that logging companies could aggressively log our public lands? Un- fortunately, the House of Representatives passed a bill earlier this month that will do just that. The misleading title of the “Resilient Federal Forests Act” (HR 2936) conceals the real intent: to create massive loopholes leaving the public and the scientific com- munity little to no opportunity to have a say over what happens to our forests. After living in the southwest for a little over a year, I craved the trees and the ocean so much that I had to come back to Ore- gon. It took driving through miles of desert and previously logged, now desolate land to fully realize the preciousness of the tiny strip that makes up some of the only old growth forest that we have left. Will we give it away to logging com- panies and to a few unsustainable jobs that will run out when the trees are gone? Right now there are efforts to pass more similar legislation. Sen. Ron Wyden will play a key role in deciding whether we preserve the integrity of the environmental laws that we’ve worked so hard to put in place. I am not against logging, but when legislation is being considered that would allow the lawless logging of our public forests, I ask our leaders to stand up by opposing HR 2936 and any similar legisla- tion.
