Republicans irked by proposal to limit bills to 25 per lawmaker: ‘Complete affront’ to us and ‘rural Oregonians’

5 days ago | oregonlive.com | Aimee Green

A bill that would attempt to avoid a repeat of the record logjam of bills filed this session has encountered forceful opposition from some Republicans, who say it will give Democrats, as the party in power, the upper hand and further squelch minority voices. The first public hearing into House Bill 2006, which would limit each member of the Oregon Legislature to 25 bills apiece, was peppered with jovial jabs at members of either party before the House Rules Committee Thursday.
Fentanyl use, drug deals cluster around a few Portland Plaid Pantry stores. Chain’s boss worries it’ll get worse

1 week ago | oregonlive.com | Aimee Green

Industrial-sized plastic bags full of cans and bottles that Portlanders redeem for 10 cents each spill onto the sales floors of several Plaid Pantry stores in the city’s inner core. Day and night, people who’ve collected beverage containers from recycling and trash bins trek to the stores, knowing the 50 empties they’re allowed to turn in each day will generate enough cash for urgent expenditures including their next high, says Plaid Pantry CEO Jonathan Polonsky.
Oregon bill removes time limits for sex abuse lawsuits: ‘Justice for what happened to you should never have an expiration date”

1 week ago | oregonlive.com | Aimee Green

Choked with emotion, the Oregon House of Representatives unanimously passed a bill Thursday that members said would empower future victims of sexual assault to seek justice by eliminating deadlines to file lawsuits against alleged abusers or the institutions that employed them. The bill would apply no matter how many decades have passed since the alleged abuse happened and whether the victim was an adult or a child.
A shredded letter, legal fights, a death threat: City Council drops attempt to oust Oregon coast mayor

1 week ago | oregonlive.com | Aimee Green

The Waldport City Council has abandoned its attempts to oust its mayor over a clash in personalities, the latest development in a two-month fight that has super-charged tensions in this Oregon coast city of 2,300 residents. The standoff has generated name-calling among the citizenry and even a threat to exterminate the mayor.
‘At the grocery store, we’re looked down upon,’ say people who collect cans on Portland’s streets

1 week ago | oregonlive.com | Aimee Green

At The People’s Depot, a makeshift can-and-bottle redemption site tucked under the Morrison Bridge, doing business is all about efficiency and kindness. Efficiency for the typically 150 people who show up each weekday on foot, bicycles pulling trailers or skateboards or in dilapidated cars with beverage containers they’ve spent hours collecting from recycling and trash bins.
Do you return cans for 10 cents apiece? Oregon’s Bottle Bill is set to change

2 weeks ago | oregonlive.com | Aimee Green

A bill that sailed through the Oregon Legislature and is awaiting the governor’s signature will significantly alter the already complicated rules for Oregonians who return cans and bottles for 10 cents apiece. Senate Bill 992 would make its most striking changes in Portland.
Oregon loves its Bottle Bill, but is it dragging down Portland?

2 weeks ago | oregonlive.com | Aimee Green

Distressing images are seared into the mind of Ann Naughton, who owns a dental office with her husband a few blocks from Oregon’s busiest bottle-and-can redemption site. There, at the BottleDrop at Northeast 122nd and Glisan in Portland, a procession of daily “canners” who’ve scavenged beverage containers from recycling bins and trash cans return them for 10 cents apiece.
Bill would prevent landlords from evicting low-income and pregnant Oregonians who fail to pay rent

3 weeks ago | oregonlive.com | Aimee Green

A bill that would prohibit landlords from evicting many low-income and pregnant Oregonians and offer rental assistance through the first year of their baby’s life is up for consideration in the Oregon Legislature. The bill also would offer a year of rental assistance to expectant residents or new parents at risk of becoming homeless. Many of Senate Bill 690’s details have yet to be worked out — including the number of people who would benefit and who precisely would be obligated to foot the bill.
Oregon ethics commission rejects $1,600 penalty for former Secretary of State Shemia Fagan’s ‘indefensible’ conduct, says it’s too low

4 weeks ago | oregonlive.com | Aimee Green

Oregon’s ethics commission on Friday rejected a staff-proposed penalty of $1,600 for former Oregon Secretary of State Shemia Fagan and instead levied $3,500 in fines for ethical lapses that led to her resignation from office in 2023. In rejecting the proposed $1,600 penalty, several commissioners on the Oregon Government Ethics Commission said the state’s second highest elected official should be held to loftier standards and her actions amounted to a significant violation of public trust.
Judge overrides ouster of Oregon coast mayor, in latest twist

4 weeks ago | oregonlive.com | Aimee Green

A Lincoln County Circuit Court judge ordered Waldport Mayor Heide Lambert temporarily reinstated to her post on Thursday, after the City Council voted to expel Lambert from office last month and she was arrested for taking her seat at the council table a week after that. Lambert filed a lawsuit against the city Wednesday, claiming her ouster was unconstitutional.
