Dear Friends and Constituents:
| |
 |
| |
Speaking on the Senate Floor during the passage of Senate Bill 200 on a 29-0 vote in support.
|
I had the privilege, over the past week of welcoming constituents from District 29 to the Capitol. If you find yourself in the Salem area please stop by my office and say hello. If you call ahead, we can help organize your trip, including setting up a tour of the capitol.
This week I carried my first bill, SB 200, and it passed the Senate with a 29-0. The bill provides more clarity for landowners who have an existing water right and want to either sell their land or pass it on to future generations. The legislation will help create and provide more fairness and flexibility for landowners. You can read the full bill here.
Last Thursday was the deadline to file all bills/measures for the 2013 Legislative Session and there are a total of 2,095 bills/measures filed! I am committed, first and foremost, to represent the interests of District 29, which at six-and-a-half counties is the third largest in the state, as I evaluate these measures. If you have any questions or concerns about legislation, please contact my office.
