Undermining Gorge Commission Funding

To the editor,

I am writing to express my disappointment with the Wasco County Commission’s attempts to undermine Friends of the Columbia Gorge efforts to retain Gorge Commission funding.

The National Scenic Area belongs to all of us and should be protected for future generations. Without the Gorge Commission to enforce the rules, the National Scenic Area would exist in name only. There would be no regional recourse for appealing a county land use decision that violated the NSA rules.
