Spurred by court ruling, Oregon representatives work to address trail access issue
A bill designed to address newfound legal risk to owners of recreational trails including local jurisdictions may receive a vote in front of the Oregon House of Representatives.

The legislation would also create a workgroup to formulate a long-term solution. ...

Oregon Health Authority’s slowness to respond to drug crisis stymies expansion of care
Last August, the Oregon Health Authority asked treatment providers to identify “shovel ready” projects to help the state address the addiction crisis.
