Willamette River Town Hall feat. Attorney General John Kroger
September 29, 2009
Oregon is a stunningly beautiful state. Unfortunately, there is a lot of work to do to keep it that way. One challenge is water quality. Right now, every major river in Oregon fails federal clean water standards. The first step towards cleaner, healthier rivers is proper enforcement of environmental laws. Attorney General John Kroger is committed to improving environmental enforcement in Oregon. But to succeed he’ll need help.
Come be part of the solution! Join Attorney General Kroger and other local officials for a discussion about the current challenges facing the Willamette Watershed and what steps we need to take to clean up our state.
Thursday, October 1
6:30pm – 8:00pm
John Ross Plaza Studio
3623 SW River Parkway
Portland,OR 97239
If you plan to attend please RSVP to Julie Rutherford at julie.rutherford@doj.state.or.us.
To learn more about the Oregon Department of Justice’s efforts to protect our environment please see the Department’s homepage at www.doj.state.or.us.
Together we can keep Oregon beautiful.
Hope to see you there!

I live in Oregon and was at the Willamette (in Portland) on Halloween – wow, it was gross. On the coast there is a small river running by the house and after a storm a backwater was created which was full of what looked like suds.
Everything looks so pristine and beautiful at first glance but you are right, the water needs a cleanup.
