Courtesy of the Oregon-loving, genuine property rights-respecting folks at Measure 37 in Action:
Oregon Measure 37 Claim Maps by County In Oregon, there are more than 7,500 Measure 37 claims filed. In total, these claims cover over 750,000 acres of land and the developer's demands for compensation total around $15 billion of Oregon taxpayer's money. Most of these claims have been filed on Oregon's most productive farmland as well as in our precious, protected forestland. Check out the story, take a moment to 'digg it' and then view the maps of Measure 37 development claims. They show a breakdown of claims by Oregon region. |
Measure 37 Claim to Build a Mine and Homes in the Newberry Crater National Monument In 1992, Congress designated the Newberry Crater a national monument. By definition, a national monument can include private property, but is managed by federal agencies to insure proper protection of the area. On June 1, 2006, James Miller filed a Measure 37 claim for $203 million in compensation for restrictions on development in the Newberry Crater. |
So thats the reason to vote for M49. Because only 80% of the M37 claims will get developed? Your still losing alot of farm land and developing in a way that ensures future sprawl.
If M37 was a bad idea how is M49 a good one?
Your logic doesn't make sense. M37 isn't being "fixed" as liberals say by M49. Its being complicted even further.
