What they say about Councilor

Rod Monroe:
"Metro's good choice"

"... Councilor Monroe knows region's issues"

The Oregonian, July 6, 1998

"... We think that Monroe's views on growth management are sound, responsible and thoroughly Oregonian..... During a series of key votes on urban reserve areas...he consistently voted to protect farm land and forest... It's that kind of commitment to simple, practical ideas that has distinguished Monroe's political career."

Willamette Week, October 21, 1998

"...Monroe has by far the greater citizens connections, experience and understanding of Metro's budget and regional growth issues...Monroe, currently also a member of the David Douglas School Board, has shown himself to be competent and diligent in public service."

The Oregonian, September 28, 1998

"Rod has demonstrated leadership in finding solutions to tough budgetary matters for Metro. He is committed to community livability, a tight urban growth boundary, and transportation options for people."
