Agreements best way
to deal with future crises
Klamath Falls
Herald and News
Letter to the
editor
February 9, 2010
As
someone who was born and raised here, I care deeply
for the needs of this community.
Ever since I was young, I wanted to work with
farmers and ranchers. I went to school with this in
mind, earning a bachelor’s in environmental science
and a master’s in rangeland resources.
I served as the Klamath Watershed Council
Coordinator though Oregon State University’s
Extension Service from 2004 – 2007, which helped me
to understand the balance of competing interests for
scarce resources in the Klamath Basin.
I believe that the Klamath Basin Restoration
Agreement is our community’s best hope for lasting
stability in the region.
I also feel that our Klamath County
Commissioners have the responsibility to do what is
in the best interests of the people that they
represent. I sincerely hope that our commissioners
vote to support the KBRA so they can have a seat at
the table and represent the county in future forums
regarding the settlement agreements.
There has been a lot of competing information
out there regarding the settlement agreements and
what their ramifications will be to different
stakeholder groups.
I would encourage those who are undecided to
spend some time learning about the KBRA and arrive
at an informed opinion. I think that those who do
take the time to read and understand the agreement
will come to the same conclusion that I have — that
the KBRA is our best tool to deal with future crises
in the Basin.
