Bob Stacey for Metro President

OLCV has endorsed Bob Stacey for Metro President

The Metro region is at a precipice, facing challenges spurred by the growth of the tri-county area. Metro needs a strong leader at the helm who understands what is at stake.

Bob Stacey is that leader, with a vision for the region that ensures a healthy economy and preserves the quality of life we love here.

Bob will protect the region's forests, farms and wetlands from sprawl as the region grows by putting new jobs and housing in the communities we've already built.

Bob will be decisive on transportation issues that affect our quality of life .He opposes the proposed Columbia River Crossing, and would work to provide more transportation options to Oregon's working families while at the same time reducing the region's greenhouse-gas emissions.

Bob's resume exemplifies a lifetime commitment to regional environmental issues in a variety of capacities.

• He led the campaign to pass Ballot Measure 49 in 2007.
• He served as policy adviser to Governor Roberts when the Western Bypass Freeway project was terminated.
• As the City of Portland’s planning director, he led the adoption of an environmental overlay for riparian and upland forest and habitat.
• Stacey left his most recent post, as executive director for 1000 Friends of Oregon, last September.
