Advocates of change to Oregon's property-compensation law, which voters passed in 2004 as Measure 37, will muster their supporters for a rally.
The rally will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 14 on the Capitol front steps.
Among the scheduled speakers are Rep. Greg Macpherson, D-Lake Oswego, the co-chairman of the joint legislative committee working on a bill to modify the ballot measure and the son of Hector Macpherson, a state senator from Albany who was the co-author of Oregon's land-use planning law in 1973.
Others include Mike Carrier, the natural-resource policy director for Gov. Ted Kulongoski; state Rep. Brian Clem, D-Salem, a member of the joint committee; Bob Stacey, the executive director of the land-use watchdog 1,000 Friends of Oregon, and several farmers.
Measure 37 requires governments to pay landowners or waive rules when those rules result in reduced property values.
