R ep. G reg Sm ith supported
by C rim e V ictim s United
Rep. Greg Smith
(R - Heppner) has been
endorsed by Crime Vic
tims United for re-election
as state representative in
House District 57. Crime
Victims United is a state
wide organization that ad
vocates on behalf of crime
victims and works to influ
ence public safety issues in
the Legislature.
“I share Crime Vic
tim s U nited’s efforts to
promote a more balanced
judicial system through
legislative action and pub
lic awareness,” Rep. Smith
said. “I’m honored to re
ceive their endorsement and
I look forward to working
with Oregon’s crime vic
tims to make our state a
safer place.”
C r i m e Vi c t i ms
Uni t ed e n d o rsed Rep.
Smith because of his efforts
to uphold voter-approved
measures that require man
datory minimum sentences
for those convicted of vio
lent crimes. Rep. Smith has
also worked to preserve and
strengthen public safety
services and Oregon’s cor
rections system - an effort
that has also earned him
the support of the union
representing corrections
employees.
“I’m committed to
upholding Oregon’s public
safety laws and holding
people accountable for their
crimes,” Rep. Smith said.
“As State Representative,
I’ll continue my efforts to
give law enforcement the
tools they need to do their
jobs and improve public
safety.”
This endorsement
comes on top o f the en
dorsements of the Oregon
State Police Officers As
sociation, Oregon Council
of Police Associations and
Trooper PAC.
Representative
Smith also earned a 94%
from the Oregon Anti-Crime
Alliance on the 2009-2010
Oregon Anti-Crime Alli
ance Scorecard.
During the 2010
primary election, the Sher
iffs of House District 57 had
this to say about Represen
tative Greg Smith.
“ R ep resen tativ e
Smith has shown through
his voting that he is dedicat
ed to the protection of the
citizens and law enforce
ment officers of Northeast
Oregon. Greg does a great
job for our public safety.”
-U nion C ounty Sheriff,
Boyd Rasmussen
“ Represent at i ve
Smith has shown true dili
gence for the public safety
o f Wallowa County as he
represents us in Salem.”
-Wallowa County Sheriff,
Fred Steen
“I have known Rep.
Smith for a number of years
as Morrow County Sheriff.
He has always been an ad
vocate for public safety. He
and I have worked together
multiple times in drafting
legislation for public safety
issues. He continues to be
an advocate and an out
standing partner for the citi
zens of Morrow County.”

The Navy and the National Guard propose to implement actions to maintain baseline training activities at current levels:
increase certain training activities from current levels to support Navy and ORNG requirements: develop appropriate
ranges and facilities to support training activities, accommodate mission requirements associated with force structure
changes and the introduction of new weapons systems; and implement range enhancements
The Navy and National Guard appreciate your input. If you are unable to attend a scoping meeting, there will be more
opportunities to participate during the EIS development process.
