"Yesterday morning, it seemed like the Oregon Senate would take up the long-awaited transportation funding bill today, potentially allowing for a relatively hasty end to the special legislative session. But the Oregon Legislature doesn't make things so easy. The lawmakers' work is now on pause pending the return of Democrat Senator Chris Gorsek, who is apparently experiencing unanticipated health issues"
"Visiting an Oregon state park? You might have to pay a little more than you're used to. The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department will begin charging day-use parking fees and increasing camping/RV hook-up fees at some of the busiest state parks. The charges are meant to help fill a department budget deficit and help maintain Oregon's beautiful outdoor spaces. The new, $10 parking fees will apply at 21 state parks, including a few beaches (like Beverly Beach and Bullards Beach),"
Portland Mercury asks readers to make small monthly contributions to sustain news reporting, arts and culture coverage, event listings, and hosted events that benefit the city. Today will be hot and muggy in Portland, with rain and cooler temperatures expected next week. The Oregon Senate postponed consideration of a transportation funding bill while Democratic senators await the return of Senator Chris Gorsek, who is experiencing unexpected health issues; the vote is now expected September 17. The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department will implement $10 day-use parking fees and raise camping and RV hook-up fees at some busy parks to address a budget deficit and support maintenance.
