Dear Friends,
Incessant smoke and the threat of fire have been
economically and emotionally devastating this summer. There is no magic answer
to all this, but we can take pragmatic steps to build a resilient community
even in the face of difficult and persistent conditions.
Please mark your calendars for the morning of September 15 when we'll kick
off this important discussion. We'll address forest management, health impacts,
economic consequences, and climate change. We will hear from experts who can
help us understand the complex issues involved, as well as the paths forward.
For more information, contact me, at Rep.PamMarsh@oregonlegislature.gov. I look forward to seeing you on September 15th.
Best,
State Representative Oregon House District 5 - Southern Jackson County
'There Oughta Be a Law' Contest!
Got an idea for a new state law – or one that should
be scrubbed from the books? Enter Our There Oughta Be a Law Contest!
In its simplest form, a legislative proposal, or
bill, is nothing more than a good idea designed to address a community
problem. You don’t have to be an elected official to recognize the need to
implement change. With help from Bella Mannray, my Ashland High School
student intern, we’re soliciting your ideas for new legislation.
Entries for our There Oughta Be a Law Contest
contest will be accepted from September 1st through November 1st 2018. At
least one entry will be chosen as a winner and submitted as a bill in the 2019
session. From that point on, we’ll keep
you apprised of the bill’s progression through the legislative process – and
maybe – its transformation into an Oregon law.
You can find the entry from and other materials on
my legislative website: http://www.oregonlegislature.gov/marsh.
We are looking forward to reviewing your
submissions. Please don't hesitate to
reach out to Bella at bellamannray@gmail.com
or myself (rep.pammarsh@oregonlegislature.gov) if you have any questions.
