In the Register-Guard story “$4 gas: Fueling our fears,” Veneta Mayor Tim Brooker says that communities need to “re-think how we repair roads” using materials less dependent on oil and that “our leaders really need to make change” in the face of rising oil prices.
As well as being Mayor of Veneta, Brooker is a grandfather, a businessman and a commuter.
Brooker has been invited to be part of the final “Next Steps” panel of the Lane County Moving Forward Together conference, but has not yet confirmed his availability. Eugene Mayor Kitty Piercy, Springfield Mayor Leiken and Lane County Commissioner Faye Stewart are confirmed to be on this panel.
