Environment in West
A billboard on the way to dow n­
town Denver asks "Are we becom­
ing L A .? ”
In the Rocky Mountain states,
where environmental concerns car-
r> strong political clout, this may be
more than a sign o f the tim es,
symbolising public fears that the sce­
nic terrain may be overrun by urban
sprawl and may one day look like
smog-choked Eos Angeles As a re­
sult, environmental issues are play­
ing a key role in the upcoming elec­
tions
I samples are a voter initiative on
clean water in Montana and what is
turning out to be a bitter battle for a
Senate seat in Colorado being vacat­
ed by Republican Hank Brown.
Republicans say the Clinton ad­
ministration has been waging a war
on the West and argue that protec­
tion o f the environm ent can be
achieved along with economic de­
velopment
Democrats, running against Re-
p u b lican H ouse S peak er New,
(iingrich as much as theirow n oppo­
nents, contend voters do not want to
roll back environmental protections
Polls show women voters in par­
ticular fear the Republican revolu­
tion would jeopardize national trea­
sures.
In Colorado the Democratic can­
didate for the U.S. Senate, Tom
Strickland, has been lambasted by
his Republican opponent. Represen­
tative Wayne Allard, as a lobbyist
for polluters. Strickland has defend­
ed his record on the environment,
saying his law firm has represented
clients responsibly, and he has ac­
cused Allard in turn o f no, caring
enough about the environment.
Strickland has been able to cap­
ture key endorsements from envi­
ronmental groups. Allard has said he
wants more local control ofenviron-
mental issues rather than having the
bureaucracy in Washington call the
shots.

Out fund raiser on Saturday, O cto­

The Constitution and You
▲
Continued from Metro
mental health treatment, youth crime
prevention programs, and senior cit­
izen services to name just a few. But
the amendments were legal, so the
jails had to be built. Since then,
Measure 17 was found to be too
expensive to fulfill, even with all
the money currently directed to
public safety.
I he saddest part is that although
so few people voted in that elec­
tion, those few made the decisions
that ultimately affected us all. And
we all will be paying for that lack o f
involvement, well into the next
century.
We citizens have the right to
limit changes in our Constitution,
and sonic o f these proposed chang­
es (like those two from 1914 men­
tioned above) just don', belong in
the Constitution.
A good example is Measure 45,
which would require raising the re­
tirement age o f public employees
while reducing their benefits. Those
issues are the province o f manage­
ment and labor contract negotia­
tion. not an amendment to the Con-
stitution. Another is Measure 46,
which says that, if passed, a regis-
tered voter who doesn’t vote on a
tax measure will be counted as a no
vote. That one has no chance o f
being ruled constitutional by the
courts, but since its supporters gath­
ered enough signatures, it’s on the
ballot. Now how can you vote and
not vote at the same time? Maybe a
magician could explain that one,
but Constitutional law deals with
real life.
The mainstream press in Oregon
has focused on the number o f mea­
sures on the ballot, but the quantity
is not the problem (except for the
extra work for the Secretary o f
State s office, which has to process
all the measures before they appear
on the ballot). Mv concerns is the
legacy we are leaving for our chil­
dren. The Oregon State Constitu­
tion’s purpose has been, from the
beginning, to ensure all citizens of
this state have equal protection un­
der the law. These and other ballot
measures will hinder that protec­
tion.
So join me, Jo Ann Bowman, on
Election Day, November 5, 1996,
in making informed decisions about
changing our State Constitution. The
quality o f our life and liberty de­
pends on it.
