..Appeal of LUBA..
..Good news, Protect Grand Island Farms has decided to appeal the LUBA decision which ruled in the favor of the county and Baker Rock. We are going to continue our fight against the proposed quarry for as long as it takes to stop the quarry.
The legal fees to continue this battle will be ongoing. This is money well spent. CRAG Is charging us a reduced rate and provides us with high quality legal advice.
If you would like to help us by donating money to PGIF it would be much appreciated by us and all of the many people who will be negatively affected if this quarry is established. Donations can be sent to PGIF, P.O. Box 1803, McMinnville, OR 97114. We are a 501-c3 non-profit organization and your donation is tax deductible. Donations can also be made thru Paypal on our sister website: http://protectgrandisland.com/
If you would like to discuss the quarry application with one of our board members I am certain they would be more than happy to answer questions. The PGIF board members are: Katie Kulla, Laura Masterson, Margaret Scoggan, Sam Sweeney, Neil Svarvervd, Ron Schindler and me.
Thank you for all of your support. This is a great community!
