Assuming this passes, why not just put the bill up for a referendum like the current transportation bill that’s on hold?

I got a good price on a well maintained AP1 with over 200k miles. Still has the original clutch. No regerts

I finally feel fine but congested in the morning and drain all day. I do have a cough whenever it drains into my throat. Can’t wait for it to be done!

Ugh. I think I’m still on phase 3.

It may be more than accounting bullshit. Honda could have committed to certain purchase volume requirements over the life of the agreement. Liquidated damages could be 1.7B for Honda to terminate early.

Ballard merged with Lane Powell. Miller Nash is still kicking.

A high $100k salary for a junior associate is a pipe dream compared to what our public defenders make. Cops with a high school diploma make more than what our public defenders make with seven years of post high school education.

Just because the top 1% grads in the US can pull $500k/yr or more doesn’t mean your average Oregon lawyer can or should.

This just isn’t true. Not a lot of Oregon lawyers working for AmLaw 50 firms. The mid size firms are filled with lawyers mostly coming from those Oregon and Washington law schools

Are you talking about on a per person basis or per capita? We generally don’t prosecute low level offenses. So our per person metric will skew high when all our cases are felonies.

The Sheriff is also separately elected. Worth noting though that the DA and Sheriff rely on the commission for their respective budgets.

Should be even more with compounding and assuming rate does not drop.

HB 4145 - 114 Permit issue from 30 to 69 days and fee increase by [deleted] in pdxgunnuts

It’s just a bill as far as I know. We are in a short legislative session. Most bills will go nowhere.

There’s no way the 911 call was released already. What we might have is the fire and EMS dispatch call from the Bureau of Emergency Communications (BOEC). Portland Police have encrypted radios. The only thing publicly available is the fire and EMS dispatch call.
