The Jerk Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 MLU poll on KATU http://www.katu.com/ I saw this on Saturday but CC was down or something? Poll on mandatory MLU use on Mt Hood. Maybe a bunch of us could pop over there and change the very one sided slant of the voting. Hope this is ok posted here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genepires Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 scary. did the poll and 97% said climbers should wear it. would be a real crime if this unscientific poll affects policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I clicked "No" about 20 times and couldn't get the "No"s to come up any higher (it was at 93% just now). I agree with gene, this would be a crime if it becomes policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottP Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I read an article in the Seattle Times this morning that spoke of "several" Oregon lawmakers who were looking at making legislation for manadatory mlu's on Hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancegranite Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Can we just get Onstar instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandpa Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Yup, just added my 2cents worth and the poll is now down to 92%. I also sent a message to KATU. Won't be read, but it went anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pup_on_the_mountain Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 (edited) Could someone post a link to the poll itself? I browsed katu.com, but couldn't locate the poll. Edited to add: Found it. Thanks! Edited February 19, 2007 by pup_on_the_mountain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jerk Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 http://www.katu.com/ The poll is right on the front page right hand side about half way down the page. I would link it but you vote right on the front page and then it pops up the results. The latest rescue going on up there will keep this in the spot light.
