Senator Golden’s timber bill needs our help!  It is stuck in the Senate Committee on Finance and Revenue. We have one week left to get this important bill out of committee and passed in both chambers. Call and email Senator Meek to get SB 1593 on Monday’s committee agenda. Last chance this session to provide 1) revenue to struggling rural counties on the front lines of increasingly devastating wildfires, and 2) force out of state Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), who own ⅔ of our forests, to pay their fair share! Senator Meek is key. His number 503-986-1720. You can also contact committee members and tell them to get SB 1593 on Monday’s agenda and pass this bill.
