T-Laue Consulting successfully worked with the McKenzie River Guides, Representative Cedric Hayden, State Senator Floyd Prozanski, County Commissioner Heather Buch, and Congressman Peter DeFazio to keep the Leaburg Hatchery fully funded for Fiscal Years 2019-2020.
With the McKenzie River Community’s help, T-Laue Consulting organized transportation for pubic testimonies at the State Capitol. We designed and printed talking points, posters, and flyers. We initiated a letter writing campaign from every grade of our K-12, went to all legislative committee meetings, coordinated with lobbyists and other organizations to keep the hatchery open.
