Giving Voice to Ohio Workers is a Win for All Workers
S E C R E T A R Y * O F * L A B O R, 11-11-2011 - 05:34
This victory is for all workers! In Southern Oregon early this year We Stood Up in solidarity with Wisconsin workers when they were under attack. Strong public rallies in both Medford and Ashland were consistent with a working class message of solidarity. People get it. We are the 99%. We will build a strong working class—Wes Brain
During an Ohio labor referendum Tuesday, a majority of voters rejected a state law that would have limited the collective bargaining rights of thousands of teachers, firefighters and police officers. "Ohio has made it clear: these dedicated public servants still need a seat at the table to demand fairness, dignity and respect — especially in tough economic times. Through their unions, they have a voice in their workplace, in their future and, most importantly, in our future," said Secretary Labor Hilda Solis in a statement.

More Clearcutting for Oregon's Public Forest
Ashland Cascadian, 16-10-2011 - 05:39
More Clearcutting Proposed for Oregon's Public Lands
Oregon state officials voted on Tuesday to approve a plan which will increase logging on the Elliott State Forest and provide a little more money to schools. What is that teaching children?
The State Land Board which made the final approval of the plan, is comprised of the governor, the state treasurer, and the secretary of state. The plan will significantly increase logging on the Elliott and use a controversial "take avoidance" approach to try to avoid killing threatened and endangered wildlife.

Roseburg Forest Product's customer email list was "discovered" and an email was sent to all, enlightening those folks to what's going on in the Elliot State Forest. This isn't about environmentalists vs. loggers--one of the serious demands of the movement is to ban raw log exports. This is about protecting public lands from corporate greed.

NV; Oct. 7 - Public Comment on SNWA Pipeline
Great Basin Water Network, 29-09-2011 - 19:17
Please help the Great Basin Water Network, indigenous tribes and many others in voicing their opposition to the SNWA's proposed pipeline from the Snake and Spring Valler aquifer system to Las Vegas that is being planned mostly for the benefit of suburban sprawl developers like Harvey Whittemore. The public hearing will be held in Carson City, though this planned extraction of 41 billion gallons per year will destroy an ecosystem that connects to Great Basin National Park and is a national resource that is for all to share in it's natural state, NOT to water Mr. Whittemore's 16 planned golf courses and 100,000 more homes for sprawl development nearly 50 miles north of the urban core of Las Vegas!

Jordan Cove Files with FERC to Export LNG
NO LNG in OR!, 29-09-2011 - 19:00
The probable link between the Ruby Pipeline bringing natural gas to Malin, OR where the proposed Pacific Connector pipeline would meet from Coos Bay, OR was too much of a financial opportunity for Jordan Cove Corp's marketing rep Bob Braddock to pass up. Exporting domestic LNG originally intended for CA would raise the price for consumers while depleting domestic natural gas reserves as quickly as they can sell it. The only beneficiaries of the planned natural gas export would be the corporations themselves, NOT the consumker and definitely not the ecosystem burdened with fracking contaminated aquifers and pipeline scars across the landscape.

Ruby Pipeline Online, Plans 4 Export to Asia
El Paso Corp Ready to F*ck CA Consumers!, 21-09-2011 - 19:31
The Ruby Pipeline is now online, scheduled to begin extracting (fracking) natural gas from around Opal, Wyoming and transporting to Malin, OR. There are also possible plans there for connections to the proposed Pacific Connector pipeline to export the Rocky Mt. natural gas to Asian markets, thus driving up the price for CA consumers. This is the same El Paso natural gas corporation that jacked up the prices during the ENRON energy "crisis" where inflated natural gas prices nearly bankrupt the state and caused rolling blackouts.

Mt. Ashland Ski Expansion Moves Forward
Ashland Cascadian, 05-09-2011 - 19:05
On Friday, September 1st the Regional Forest Service in Southern Oregon (with the support of the District office) gave the approval for Mount Ashland Association to go ahead with ski expansion plans on Mt. Ashland. Now we are within at 15 day comment period where those who are opposed to the expansion can challenge this decision. The forest service next step is to go the US District Court in Medford to get the injunction lifted so that MAA can go forwarded with construction and logging. MAA has said it could begin logging as early as mid September.
Mount Ashland Association is also in the process of making a decision whether they will accept the conditions to take the special use permit that the City of Ashland currently holds. If they do accept the conditions the city council will give them the special use permit and MAA will have to provide proof that they have the $700,000 for restoration of the headwaters in the expansion if anything goes wrong. They would also have to have raised approximately 3 million dollars for the first part of the expansion before proceeding forward. If MAA decides to not accept the special use permit with the conditions then the city will continue to hold it and MAA can go ahead with the expansion without those requirements.
Rogue Valley Sierra Club is going to challenge the Forest Service decision. If the court in Medford decides to lift the injunction to allow for construction to move forward the Sierra Club does have plans to challenge this in the Federal 9th Circuit Court. Rogue Valley Sierra Club, Center for Biological Diversity and Oregon Wild also have plans to present a new lawsuit.
