Hey folks,
Earlier this year I sent you the op-ed linked below. Oregon’s legislature begins a new session next week, so I’m sharing it again. I also sent it out to every state rep and senator.
The north coast can improve how we spend tax dollars collected from overnight visitors. We can make sure that money sustains our scenic rural heritage in ways that model fiscal stewardship.
To do that, we need to think beyond the narratives made by the same old lobbies that have driven discussions about tourism. That’s why I wrote this, in hopes of opening up the conversation. Thanks for reading it.
