Natural Resource News Note:
The Oregonian newspaper featured a front page article on the problems of Measure 49 which is the measure that brought limits to landowner compensation but promised a fast-track process. Three years later, few new homes have been approved and built under the new system with landowners complaining of a process rigged against the landowners. The Oregonian article states:
“Supporters spent nearly $5 million to pass Measure 49 in 2007 and convinced voters that it would resolve problems caused by the passage of Measure 37 three years earlier. With Measure 49, the campaign argument went, most property owners would be allowed to build one to three houses under an “Express Lane” process instead of thousands of homes and rural subdivisions they claimed the right to build under Measure 37. “
