Here's something unexpected: Senate Democrats have named a new majority leader, only months after Sen Kathleen Taylor won that role. Sen Kayse Jama is now leader. #orleg

An incredible story of one man's rise to corporate power, despite documented sex crimes against kids. via @noellecrombie and @rogoway . ‘Paid to shut my mouth’: Oregon CEO, a convicted sex offender, settled with employees amid abuse accusations oregonlive.com/business/2024/…

There was not a single no vote against a 2022 law to pay people who were wrongfully convicted of crimes in the state. AND YET, Oregon's Department of Justice seems dead set on nickel and diming every case, as one advocate put it. opb.org/article/2024/0…

Peter Wong has more institutional knowledge about the #orleg than almost anyone else in Oregon, and I learn something new from him in every conversation. Pamplin's new owners made a horrible decision. oregonlive.com/business/2024/…

I'm sure I'm not the only Oregon Capitol press corps veteran who has a long reel of memories going through my mind today. Thanks for the write-up, @dirquez and @LaurenDake #orpol #orleg klcc.org/politics-gover…


Courtney was, “the best legislator the state has ever had,” Sen. Lee Beyer, a Democrat said. And in true bipartisan fashion, Sen. Tim Knopp, a Republican, called him a mentor & “one of the most important elected officials and political figures in Oregon history.” #orleg #orpol

Senate President Peter Courtney, the longest serving lawmaker in state history and hands down the most unique politician I have covered, passed away this morning. Longer story coming soon. #orpol opb.org/article/2024/0…

A key piece to helping people in crisis is being able to offer them a path forward. At Portland's Clinton Triangle shelter, that hasn't always an option. Many feel stuck. opb.org/article/2024/0…

10 years ago today, I was working a weekend shift @seattletimes when word came in of a landslide near a small town named Oso. It turned out to be the deadliest landslide in U.S. history. It also became an exhibit for why local journalism matters in a time of crisis. 1/

While lawmakers debated campaign finance limits last month, Oregon’s richest man quietly gave another $2 million to a political action committee that tries to elect Republicans to the statehouse. #orleg #orpol oregoncapitalchronicle.com/briefs/while-o…

ICYMI: Lawmakers are going to hear testimony this afternoon about a book ban bill. An overview, published first (and free for you to read/other outlets to pick up) in the @ORCapChronicle this morning. #orleg #orpol oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2024/02/13/ore…

Oregon lawmakers have a counter-offer to @GovTinaKotek's signature bill of the session. They're suggesting less money for housing and want to pare back a controversial tool weakening state land use laws. From @LaurenDake #orleg #orpol opb.org/article/2024/0…
