From a joint resolution proposed in the Oregon Legislative Assembly in April by Republican State Senator John Lim:

WHEREAS the late Governor Tom McCall foresaw that overpopulation would decrease the quality of life in Oregon; and

WHEREAS overpopulation causes problems with infrastructure in this state; and

WHEREAS overpopulation harms the air, the water, and the other natural resources of this state; and

WHEREAS overpopulation has a negative economic effect on this state; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED by the Legislative Assembly of the State of Oregon that the Department of Transportation is directed to place a sign at each highway entrance to Oregon that states, "You are welcome to visit Oregon, but please don't stay."
