Measure 49 Fixes Measure 37

Seneca Jones Timber Co. Donated $321,000 to the Measure 37 Campaign - Files $6.75 Million in Measure 37 Claims

Just another example illustrating who was behind the passage of Measure 37 in 2004, and who's fighting Measure 49 now - big timber business with a lot to gain if Measure 37 stays on the books.  In 2004, Seneca Jones Timber Co. helped pass Measure 37 in Oregon by contributing over $320,000 to the campaign (that's about 20% of the entire Yes on 37 campaign budget).

Since then, Seneca Jones Timber Co. founder Aaron U. Jones has filed over $6,750,0000 in Measure 37 claims.  The state can either strip all land regulations and allow Seneca to build, or will have to pay the $6,750,000 for "lost income" under the new statute.  Seneca has recently contributed $50,000 to stop Measure 49 from passing.
