Following a delicious supper of soup, bread, and dessert provided by the Board, we’ll review the LWV Oregon and LWV Corvallis positions that support our work. In addition to weighing in on possible state positions that need emphasis, attendees will have an opportunity to share what they see as critical local issues for study and/or action by our local League.

    Oregon’s New Land Use Rules: How and Why Your Neighborhood May Be Changing

    Corvallis-Benton County Public Library 645 NW Monroe Ave, Corvallis, OR, United States

    January 28
    6:30 - 8:00 pm
    Corvallis Benton County Public Library
    645 NW Monroe Ave. Corvallis, OR
    Virtual Option Available: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87413279211

    Our last two Oregon Governors launched initiatives that led to changes in our state land use laws and changes in the way our communities will be developed. Governor Kate Brown directed state agencies to find ways to more aggressively to implement the state's climate change goals. This directive resulted in legislation on Climate Friendly and Equitable Communities and Middle Housing. Governor Tina Kotek has placed strong emphasis on addressing Oregonians' housing needs. This initiative has and is continuing to push legislation to change land use laws to make it easier to build homes.

    These laws impact all the communities in Linn and Benton Counties. They will result in land use changes within communities themselves and in their urban growth boundaries still within county jurisdiction. Please join the League of Women Voters of Corvallis in exploring these changes in state laws and how they will impact our neighborhoods.

    Speakers

    • Peggy Lynch, Oregon Natural Resources Coordinator, League of Women Voters Oregon
    • Ethan Stuckmayer, Housing Division Head, Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development
    • Paul Bilotta, Community Development Director, Corvallis

    This program is cosponsored by the Corvallis Sustainability Coalition, the City of Corvallis and the Corvallis Benton County Public Library.

    LWVOR Communications Cafe: Federal Judiciary Study

    Online

    LWVOR Communications Team invites you to take part in a virtual “discussion café.”

    Betsy Lawson, Attorney and LWVUS consultant will join us (possibly with other committee members) to provide members in Oregon with an overview of the study.

    This meeting does NOT take the place of our Local League Consensus meetings. Instead, it will provide us with an initial understanding of the study to fully take part in our Local League meetings.

    To better prepare yourself for this important national study visit the 2024-2025 Federal Judiciary Study Process, Committee, and Resources materials (report and videos).

    Communications Café: Federal Judiciary
    Monday, February 10th, 6:30 pm PST
    Register here>>>

    Annie Goldner, LWVOR Issues / Positions Chair will be on hand to answer any questions about responding to the study, as well as to offer help to Local Leagues to comply with the study consensus questions. Meeting will include time for open discussion & questions. Join other League members statewide and get answers to YOUR questions.

    For more information contact Barbara Klein, LWVOR Communications Chair, [email protected].
