How do you feel about flu shots?
“I think they’re
good. I’m a retired
nurse, and can see
the benefit of it for
the elderly and kids.
Flu kills.”
“Positive. I think
there is no reason
not to do something
that will prevent
you and others from
getting sick.”
THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK
SALEM — Oregon envi-
ronmental regulators are seek-
ing the dismissal of a lawsuit
aimed at strengthening pollu-
tion regulations in Tillamook
Bay.
Attorneys for the state
Department of Environmen-
tal Quality have asked Tilla-
mook County Circuit Judge
Mari Garric Trevino to throw
out the case before it goes to
trial scheduled for next month,
the Capital Press reported
Tuesday.
Oyster Co. President Jesse
Hayes claims in the lawsuit
that excessive fecal coliform
bacteria from dairies have cur-
tailed or shut down harvests
from his oyster beds in the
bay.

Sadie Forzley, an attorney for
the state Department of Envi-

The judge questioned the
department’s conclusion, say-

to me that he wouldn’t be

“His property is affected

FRIDAY
In a hearing last week, the
state claims its total maximum
daily load regulation for the
bacteria in the rivers is a final
agency order that can only be
challenged through an admin-
istrative process, but the dead-
line for an objection has long
passed. The daily load regula-
tion was set in 2001.
Hayes argues otherwise,
saying the regulation can be
challenged in court because
the harm to his oyster beds is
a continuing violation. Hayes
is targeting the state because it
is “hard to hold any one dairy
farmer accountable for what’s
going on in the bay,” said
Thomas Benke, his attorney.
The state never notified
Hayes about the regulation

unwilling to give EPA more
time and ruled in August that
the agency had 60 days to

has compiled a list of 79 reg-
