CITIZEN
INVOLVEMENT ISSUES
Introduction by Jim Just, Executive Director, Goal
One Coalition
In July 2006 the Oregon Task Force on Land Use
Planning (the "Big Look" task force) identified six topic areas that it will
analyze and make recommendations to the 2009 Legislative Assembly and Governor. The task
force appointed members to work groups for each topic area.
In early September, all but one of those workgroups
sent out questionnaires to selected "stakeholders." Goal One Coalition was asked
about its views on the role of citizens in the land use planning process. Its
response begins with lamenting the task force's failure to take a "big look,"
and then argues that it is people's responsibility as citizens to participate actively and
fully in the decisions that will shape our future (Publications - Response to Big Look
Questionnaire on Citizen Involvement - web link - http://www.goal1.org/publications.htm).
