City rejects plan to save beach homes in Oregon coast
Tillamook County commissioners unanimously declined an emergency plan to shield luxury Capes homes with 30,000 cubic yards of rock against a crumbling cliff. They instead uphold Oregon beach laws that keep beaches public, risking dozens of upscale units and prompting former senator Mark Hatfield to seek governor help. Governor John Kitzhaber indicated he would not intervene, citing heritage and legal constraints.
