Section removed

Hello Wikipedia users,

I just removed the following passage from this article:

"The practice of a federal agency requiring person to obtain and pay for a permit to navigate the river is seriously called into questioned by the Oregon Admission Act of 1859, which specifically states, "... said rivers and waters, and all the navigable waters of said State, shall be common highways and forever free, as well as to the inhabitants of said State as to all other citizens of the United States, without any tax, duty, impost, or toll therefor." This is not only a federal statute, but is also codified as a state statute [11 Stat. 383 (1859)], and is a term and condition of statehood."

First of all, it's off-topic. Second, it's OR (a user's legal theory about use permits, not citing any precedent or case). Third, it's non-grammatical ("seriously called into questioned"). Since this passage does nothing but distract from the subject of the article (the John Day River) I've taken it out. Note that this deletes the citation of the Oregon articles of statehood...not that it was a relevant citation anyway.WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 14:49, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
