U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden today announced he will have a live on-line town hall hosted by People’s Town Hall on Tuesday, Aug. 31 beginning at 1 p.m. for rural Oregonians.
The town hall will focus on his River Democracy Act – legislation that would designate about 4,700 miles of rivers and streams as wild-and-scenic as well as expand access to recreation statewide. Wyden says the legislation would reduce wildfire risks and protect existing property, grazing and irrigation rights.
The link to watch this virtual town hall on Aug. 31 about the River Democracy Act is here. The link for rural Oregonians who want to submit questions for Wyden about the legislation is here.
