SB 916 is terrible legislation🚨

Robbing the unemployment insurance fund to prolong strikes is a terrible idea. Unions already have strike funds, leaning on state funds to prolong a strike already tells you that the union doesn’t see it as a worthy investment of their own resources.

Tell your legislators you oppose SB 916: https://t.co/noi7LRWy8v

Oregon has a chronic shortage of developable industrial land. This bill would compound the problem, costing Oregon jobs and tax revenue.

A 2022 law eliminating Oregon's agricultural overtime exemption cut worker hours - just like employers said it would. Will legislators continue to disregard business' concerns when considering harmful bills like SB 916 and HB 3062?

Oregon is in the midst of what the state's chief economist calls a 'manufacturing recession.' This bill would raise manufacturers' costs and create substantial compliance burdens. This isn't how you encourage business investment in Oregon.

Oregon already spends as much per student as the Urban Institute's top-ranked education states - even controlling for cost-of-living differences. Oregon's problem is school performance, not school funding.

Business can’t win when the odds favor regulatory agencies and a growing technical consulting cottage industry.

[Oregon Business & Industry @OBIOregon]

The rigid enforcement of regulations is a problem at all levels of Oregon government. 71% of small businesses surveyed said agencies are more interested in finding wrongdoing than in helping businesses like theirs comply with regulations.

We have to stop the egregious spending. Oregonians can’t afford SB916. No. Full Stop.

[Helen Jung @helenjung]

At the behest of union donors, Oregon Democrats are pushing a bill that would allow workers who go on strike to collect unemployment benefits - a move that could particularly hobble public employers. State senators should vote no on SB 916. Editorial: https://t.co/t41ql5vm7R

[Vonnie Mikkelsen @vonmikk]

@helenjung No. Full stop.

@Preston_Mann What a mess 👈☝️👉👇Meanwhile, in Oregon…

[Vonnie Mikkelsen @vonmikk]

@ChrisCuomo Why didn’t you ask whether the identity of the “suv size” drone operator/manufacturer was revealed in the classified briefing? Why wouldn’t they have self-identified themselves to authorities by now? If there’s a legit reason for proprietary protections, keep it classified but.

[Preston Mann @Preston_Mann]

Measure 118’s drastic “tax on a tax” would make Oregon products more expensive, make Oregon companies less competitive, and increase prices on Oregon consumers.

A thorough report. Now let’s get to work.

While the @NWSPortland has lowered the chance for heavy rain and wind next week for our area, we encourage community members to continue to check the weather reports and prepare for future storms. Track the forecast at https://t.co/YixzYSCbVV

As a precaution, now is a good time to gather food, medical supplies, batteries, pet supplies, generators, and fuel, among other things you and your family may need during an outage. Find more preparation tips at https://t.co/FXscNiAM9J.

Also, be cautious when out and about as trees still standing after our recent ice storm have limbs hung up in them or weakened root systems. Please report any hazardous trees on public streets or public property by calling 541-726-3761 during normal business hours 8 a.m. – 4 p.m., for after-hours response please call the police non-emergency line at 541-726-3714. For trees that don’t impose an immediate hazard or safety issue please email [email protected] and we will respond as soon as possible.

[City of Springfield, Oregon @cityspfldoregon]

New crosswalk art was installed at 4th and 5th St. at Main St. and features artwork of books on a shelf designed by Joely Ann Davis and a yellow brick road designed by Tara Kemp. The project from the Springfield Economic Development Agency adds to Downtown's inviting atmosphere.
