Pamplin Media Group - Oregon legislative logjam lifted in redistricting compromise

Oregon legislative logjam lifted in redistricting compromise April 15 2021 Minority Republicans get a voice on redrawing districts; majority Democrats can proceed with more than 80 bills. The Oregon House has broken its legislative logjam with each party making a concession. Minority Republicans gained a voice in shaping the redrawing of legislative and congressional district boundaries. The relevant House committee will have Democratic and Republican co-leaders and the House Republican leader was added to the committee for an even 3-3 split. In return, majority Democrats can proceed with more than 80 bills, most of them noncontroversial, without having to have them read aloud before final votes. Republicans had refused to waive the bill-reading requirement, which slowed the House to voting on a trickle of bills each day, depending on the length of their texts.

Pamplin Media Group - Oregon Legislature: Clever compromise could solve multitude of crises

Pamplin Media Group Quietly this week, the House threaded the needle on redistricting and the legislative logjam. Late evening on Wednesday, April 14, a bit of legislative legerdemain snuck through the Oregon House, gliding under the radar of almost everyone watching. A compromise was reached that could end a maddening tactic by Republicans to delay every bill in the House. In exchange for this, Republicans will get more say in how all 90 legislative districts in Oregon get redrawn later this year. At first blush, this seems like a win-win decision on several levels. Pamplin Media Group s Peter Wong posted the news on social media Wednesday evening, and Oregon Public Broadcasting s Dirk Vanderhart posted a story later that evening. Still, otherwise, the potentially seismic shakeup received little notice.

Oregon high-proof, low-cost spirits to rise in price; Bend distiller sees little impact

Oregon high-proof, low-cost spirits to rise in price; Bend distiller sees little impact (Update: Adding video, comments) BEND, Ore. (KTVZ)  The Oregon Liquor Control Commission approved a floor pricing plan for distilled spirits that will increase the price of the lowest-priced spirits sold in Oregon liquor stores. The move, approved late last week, stems from public health concerns around alcohol addiction. OLCC spokesman Bryant Haley said Monday the proposal balances business interests with public health concerns. “So something we really have to consider is being a regulator of, what can we control around alcohol consumption and pricing? And this is one of the levers we have, was to control the lowest-priced spirits,” Haley said.

Delta-8 in Chicago: Unregulated, weed-like drug dubbed CBD on crack spikes in popularity Now the legal pot industry is calling for a crackdown

Pat Nabong/Sun-Times There’s a new high in town. A growing number of Chicago businesses are now exploiting a loophole in federal law that appears to allow the unfettered sale of a trendy hemp byproduct called Delta-8-THC, which has commonly been described as “marijuana-lite” or “diet weed.” Retailers across the city have started selling a variety of Delta-8 products in settings that resemble licensed cannabis dispensaries but aren’t subject to the same stiff regulations. Many sell everything from edibles to vaping cartridges, as well as smokable hemp flower sprayed with Delta-8 extract. Related Some places are even dosing food and drinks with Delta-8 and allowing customers to consume it on site. That flies in the face of a hard-fought provision in the state’s marijuana legalization law that tightly regulates public consumption, which isn’t allowed in Chicago yet.
