Action Requested - River Rights

Slow and Low · 02-03-2010, 10:28 AM

The current case law surrounding the AG's opinion is good enough for most river users, including fisherman. SB 1060 in all of it's evolving forms is not in the best interest of MOST Oregonians. From the majority of opinions offered on this thread and others, the general consensus is to leave the current laws as they are.

Common Waters of Oregon urges you to contact your State Senator and let them know you do not support legislation that diminished the AG's opinion.

Most of us are river users in one form or another and do not wish to trespass, litter, or break laws. What we should be united in is the idea that navigable rivers are free for all of us and visitors to our state to use in a lawful and respectful manner.

Thank you for supporting Common Waters.

Tight lines,

SS

Glad you posted this. This whole issue could turn on a dime in such a short session. It's really important that people are watching the legislature closely and don't delay in contacting legislators. The schedule is so tight.

This is a big issue for river users. Let's get it done right. Time is critical.

Thanks for the post Sam.

I revised the original statement based on a series of evolving versions of SB 1060.

Thanks for your support!
