The CEO of @CleanWaterNews is resigning in the aftermath of an investigation by @Jamiebgoldberg. Goldberg found lavish spending by sewer executives, including business trips to five-star resorts in Hawaii and frequent meals on ratepayers' dime. https://t.co/Zdxsfnhss4

The alleged bribery scheme has gone publicly unreported until now and allowed an untold number of unqualified drivers to pilot big rigs on the nation’s highways and byways, posing a major risk to the general public. New from @tedsickinger https://t.co/ph9i3K531J

Oregon lawmakers are on the verge of effectively making the identities of lottery prize winners secret. The move comes after @tedsickinger found million in winnings flowed to an Australian business + local opportunists who buy tickets from true winners. https://t.co/Dz2u5YJjkv

RT @jjeremiahcasey: Thank you, @Jamiebgoldberg and @Oregonian for keeping tabs on this. It's as important as local issues get. https://t.co…

The board of @CleanWaterNews is going to outline new oversight measures in response to @Jamiebgoldberg's investigation into Hawaiian trips and food spending. Watch live here, now: https://t.co/nq37UUZmdP

Some of the same Washington Co. sewer officials who take annual business trips to Hawaii also enjoyed a local perk: Dining on ratepayers' dime. @CleanWaterNews spent $440k on food in 5 years, with the CEO among those who dined out often. @Jamiebgoldberg https://t.co/Io1xUnTzws

Officials from Washington County's sewer agency fly to Hawaii annually and stay in five-star resorts. The reason? To attend an insurance conference for an insurance company they created. The 2023 trip alone cost $42k. @Jamiebgoldberg's investigation: https://t.co/Bi3A7hObNB

New investigation: Equity Corps of Oregon has not disclosed a comprehensive tally of how many immigrants facing deportation actually received legal representation through the statewide program and how many avoided deportations as a result. @YeseniaAmaro https://t.co/3uztoRVwiM

She complained to regulators about the nursing home where her 87-year-old mom lived. She was told someone could investigate -- in nine or 10 months. Oregon is flooded by complaints and falling behind, putting residents in danger. By @tedsickinger. https://t.co/OIIzR3ZNgx

This @trailblazers TV situation on @YouTubeTV is an utter joke, @KATUNews. No games, then games, now the channel is gone! Truly unbelievable. https://t.co/p3RTndBPii

Blowing a 17-point fourth quarter lead pretty much sums up this @trailblazers season.

One of the most disturbing stories I can remember reading. It’s unfathomable how this has not been criminally investigated.

Let me tell you a story – one of the more haunting I’ve seen in 20 years of journalism. It’s about greed, death and denial. It took two years to unravel one doctor’s myth, a hospital’s complicity in creating it, and a documented trail of suspicious deaths… 🧵 https://t.co/v019mb8wMR

The Oregon Department of Corrections claims it doesn’t track how often it denies prisoner requests for outside medical care. Reporters requested the decision forms to add it up, to no avail. State law enables secrecy. By @noellecrombie @tedsickinger https://t.co/wlEPi8SR9q
