Agriculture:  Big problems with water in Klamath Falls area.  ESA and treaties with tribes in the area interpreted to require 4138’ Upper Klamath lake level be maintained as well as flows for Salmon in Klamath River.  This has not left any water for farming or the bird refuges.  Farms have high value crops planted that will die without water.  Tribes say their C’waam sucker fish won’t survive another year of low water in upper Klamath Lake.  Marshland used by waterfowl is drying up and won’t support birds this year.  Are taxpayers responsible for bailing out the farmers?  Is taking out  irongate dam a fix or a disaster?  More info: https://shutdownfedup.org/klamath-basin-water-crisis-2022/

Legislative –  Sen. Betsy Johnson has turned in her signatures and will be on the ballot for governor in November.  With major financial backing from timber and construction interests, Johnson has reported over $10.5 million in contributions, according to 8/25/22 state campaign finance summaries. Kotek has raised about $7.6 million, while Drazan has totaled about $6.3 million.  There are two other minor party candidates as well.  A perfect race for ranked choice voting, wish it was here now.
