Great opinion except for 2 errors regarding the unnamed but referenced  Lane County Community Self-Government ballot initiative.

1)	According to the definition of “Local Civil Rights Law”, as defined by the initiative, it will not protect laws that ‘restrict fundamental rights of individuals, their communities, or nature’.  In other words it will not allow limiting of civil liberties and fundamental rights – quite the opposite.  Read the initiative for clarification:

2)	The motivation of the initiative is not and was not specific to the state’s ability to override local efforts against GMOs – such as occurred in Josephine County.  The motivation is bigger – to keep state, federal, and international interests (= $$$) from overriding Lane County’s rights to protect our health, our community's health, and the health of nature.
