Several citizens are asking for the City of Bandon & the county Board of Commissioners to pass resolutions against the creation of any marine sanctuary off the southern coast. Currently, the people promoting the sanctuary are making the point that fishing is going to be allowed,
However, those regulations can be changed by several different government agencies at anytime. All new industry, no matter how clean or safe, will be off limits in the sanctuary. The people of Port Orford and the southern Oregon coast could be eliminating our options and opportunity for new industry in the area. Everyone wants a clean environment that will be there for future generations, it is how we go about achieving the goal that is at question. The local people should have local control, so let's not give away our representation to some nameless, faceless bureaucrat back in DC. Everything that can be done by the federal government can be done by the local government, state, county, and cities. Who knows best, politicians with an agenda, or the people who will be directly effected?.......Rob T.
