Reflection/Evaluation
Lots of discussion regarding upcoming legislature in Salem, state capitol. Some of those topics are wildlife crossings and looking for permanent funding; transportation advocacy along with the electrification of Bend as well as affordable housing. Things are moving pretty quickly with not seeing many wins for conservation, the same concerns on a National level as well. Discussion of North West Forest Plan and how may be impacted with what is going on in Washington, might be best to let it die right now.
