Oregon's Beach Bill Passed 50 Years Ago
- "...citizens formed an organization that campaigned to bring the Beach Bill back to life. The movement promoted the idea of the beach as a place for families, and kids campaigned on Portland streets to “Save the beaches.” Gov. Tom McCall and State Treasurer Bob Straub were strong supporters of the Beach Bill, garnering media attention. In 1967, the Beach Bill passed, declaring all wet sand within 16 vertical feet of the low tide line to be state property." - excerpts from article in The Daily Astorian.
