Jim Whitty gets around....in a cursory google search this is what I found.....

He is/was on the Oregon Economic Development Board

He is/was on the Oregon Marine Board

and then the following from an article in 1999.....

Jim Whitty, of the Environmental Stewardship Partnership, said the hope is that measurable goals will make natural resource management more successful economically and environmentally. Often, he said, businesses have difficulty making gains because they are so focused on regulatory compliance. They see themselves spending heavily in return for minimal environmental and economic returns. He's supporting HB 3135 because of its reliance on cooperation from all segments of society. "We can't deny Oregon is a state most likely to adopt progressive environmental policies," he said."

"I don't think Americans are ready to be subjected to that type of civil liberties intrusion

Unreal...he concedes were not ready, and in essence implies we need more "conditioning"...Freedom in this country is history folks...
