Oregon Issues

Oregon politics, current events, and actions for progressive activists. Resources for letting our voices be heard.

The severity of the situation means that justice is not being given to those who have come forward and may cost taxpayers millions in lawsuits from the liability of not having proper procedures, documentation, and oversight.” https://t.co/hqzXVDPJza

The 9th Circuit kind of sums up my view. Which is that, if you're allowed to use evidence to prove that your lawyer was ineffective at one stage of the proceeding, its nuts not to let you use that EXACT SAME EVIDENCE in the next.

It would be tragic if Oregonians lose their homes because the money available to help them doesn’t reach them in time. Legislators have the power & responsibility to prevent this from happening by approving our plan at next week’s special session.

Our company pays a min wage of $70k and has paid parental leave, full benefits, paid time off, and allows people to work remotely.

We received 25,400 applications this year for 72 jobs.

There's no labor shortage. There's a shortage of jobs that treat people with respect.

[Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer]

Every Senate Republican just voted to undermine the Administration's efforts to fight the Covid pandemic.

Letting the virus spread unchecked could undo the progress we made on the economy, jobs, and reopening businesses and schools, but their priority is appeasing anti-vaxxers.
