Last update: 8 hours ago

Wildfire Emergency: Gov. Tina Kotek declared a statewide state of emergency as hot, dry, windy conditions raise wildfire risk, with agencies gearing up for crews, aircraft, and emergency response. Antitrust Enforcement: Oregon’s Emergency Board approved 16 new Oregon Department of Justice antitrust positions to expand investigations into corporate mergers and monopoly-related cases. Ocean Monitoring Fight: Western lawmakers pressed the National Science Foundation to reverse plans to dismantle the Ocean Observatories Initiative, warning the cuts could hit fisheries and coastal communities. Port of Astoria/ICE: Port leaders defended allowing ICE access to fenced property, while activists questioned training and whether it conflicts with Oregon’s sanctuary law. Education Policy: Oregon lawmakers are weighing changes that would weaken compulsory school attendance, as critics argue it could worsen chronic absenteeism. Public Safety Court: A Baker County judge reduced bail for an accused rapist to $565,000, with conditions if released. Local Governance/Development: A Salem developer pitched a Prosper Portland-style economic development model, aiming to generate new city revenue and jobs. Labor: Horizon Air flight attendants voted to authorize strikes amid stalled contract talks. Tribute/Politics: Former U.S. Sen. Bob Packwood died at 93, remembered as a long-time Oregon Republican who broke with his party and later faced scandal.
