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).

The CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT SERIES has four sub-links.
