About the Coalition for Oregon's Future

The Coalition for Oregon's Future is a diverse group of 13 small business, environmental, tribal and pro-family organizations that have formed a new coalition to oppose Governor Kulongoski's plan to build the state's first and largest Indian casino off reservation lands in the Columbia River Gorge.

The coalition believes the move will lead to even more casinos in urban areas, damage the natural scenic beauty of the Columbia River Gorge and will hurt small businesses and families. So far, the organizations involved represent more than 50,000 people.
