Measure 49 Fixes Measure 37

The Laraways Say One Thing, But Do Another

The Laraways have been one of the “Stop 49” campaign’s most active spokespeople. First, the campaign paid for them to submit a Voter’s Pamphlet Statement, in which they makes some confusing and egregious claims. “Stop 49” also featured the Laraways...

The Netters say: "If Measure 49 passes, we'll lose the value of our property. We want to see the tradition go on... we want to farm."

This statement is patently false. The Netters filed a Measure 37 claim for a 60-lot housing subdivision on their 98 acres of exclusive farm use land. The state denied the Measure 37 claim because the land was already protected farmland when Fred Netter acquired it in 1977.

Olivella Wilcox filed a Measure 37 claim to build up to 16 new dwellings on her 8.32 acre property - which is designated Rural Residential Farm Forest (RRFF-5) - in Clackamas County. Olivella Wilcox had demanded $500,000 to $1,050,000 in compensation.

In an article in this week's Oregonian, "Stop 49" campaign manager and 'Oregonians in Action' president, Dave Hunnicutt tells us: "attorneys advised many property owners to file huge (Measure 37) subdivision claims only as "placeholders" to preserve future development rights."...

Update: Professor Huffman has issued this apology for the misleading nature of his anti-Measure 49 letter sent out as a mass mailing by the "Stop 49" campaign last week. Wow. The No on 49 Campaign is doing some strange things with spokespeople. Nearly all of their 'official' spokespeople (in their TV and radio ads, pamphlets, and mailers) are people with substantial Measure 37 claims. While James Huffman doesn't have a Measure 37 claim himself, he is the former Dean of Lewis and Clark Law School, and Lewis and Clark itself DOES have a major Measure 37 claim to subdivide 3,600 acres of land that was given to the school into what the permit calls "farmettes", each with its own individual, "mini vineyard". This land is zoned for exclusive farm use, and before Measure 37 could not have been developed into a subdivision.

Dave Hunnicut is the author of Measure 37, and he led the campaign to pass Measure 37 in 2004. Hunnicutt has recently helped craft similar measures for the Oklahoma, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Idaho, and Missouri legislatures. Hunicutt is an attorney,...

"Stop 49" spokespeople April and Bob Jossy are in campaign ads talking about how Measure 49 will "shut down their family u-pick farm" because they want to build 13 homes on their property. Incredibly, in reality, the Jossy's have already filed and been approved for a 20-lot subdivision on their property. The Jossy's "Sunset Orchard Estates" is a proposed 20 lot subdivision complete with an airstrip, located at 31965 NW Beach road, Hillsboro Oregon, and it would not have been allowed before Measure 37.

Some timber companies and developers are spending a fortune trying to defeat Measure 49. As part of that campaign - in television ads, mailers, flyers and in the voter's pamphlet - the Stop 49 Campaign has offered up "spokespeople" who claim that Measure 49 would prevent them from undertaking modest developments on their property. But the claims they are making are very different than the claims they have actually filed. Below is a chart of some of the "Stop 49" spokespeople in ads from the last several weeks. Read the real facts behind these spokespeople, and why they are working for the "Stop 49" Campaign. Note: All information is taken from official records and based on the actual Measure 37 claims filed with the state and county by these people.

Roberta and Gerald Curry claim in their Voter's Pamphlet statement supporting the No on 49 campaign that they simply want to divide their land so they can give a parcel to each of their 5 children.

The truth is that the Currys have filed a Measure 37 claim to divide their 110 acres into 110 separate parcels! They're looking to build 110 houses, each on one-acre lots...it makes you question how many children they really have.
