After false starts, Oregon wolf compensation reform gains traction
From OregonCapitalInsider.com:
After a couple of false starts, legislation intended to reform Oregon’s compensation policy for wolf killings of livestock appears to have gained momentum. Supporters say the overhaul will help restore trust in the state’s livestock compensation program and discourage the illegal poaching of wolves. “We have ranchers all over this state who’ve lost faith in this program, that have lost faith in the voting that takes place in this Capitol. This is a way for us, you, to reach back to those individual ranchers, to that community, with a positive vote,” said Sen. Todd Nash, R-Enterprise, who raises cattle.
