Ferrioli speaks on Oregon’s
economy
To the Editor:
The first week o f the
session made one thing clear
Some of our colleagues just
d o n ’t u nderstand what
makes Oregon tick. It isn’t
higher
go v ern m en t
spending It isn’t more taxes
It isn’t partisan attacks on
our President or threatening
to sue the feds.
The only thing that
will help get Oregon back on
track, pay for our schools
and eliminate the need for
more welfare programs is
growth in the economy.
The only way to get
growth in the economy is to
remove obstacles like overly
re stric tiv e
land
use
regulations that strangle
communities, burdensome
and illogical environmental
regulations like the Pesticide
U se R eporting Act and
political hacks pandering to
the anti-growth, anti-people
Green agenda
It’s time we realize
that Oregon is a special place
in competition with many
other special places- like
Idaho,
M ontana,
Washington, California and
N evada- the states o f the
Great Intermountain West.
All are special All
have an en v iro n m en tal,
cultural and historic heritage
worth fighting for and worth
p reserv in g . The only
d ifferen ce is th at these
special
p laces
have
something Oregon does not
have: Jobs.
E lected o fficials
need to understand that a
thriving economy is what
sustains us all
