Clackamas County halts effort to repeal emergency declaration May 06 2021
UPDATE: Board tables discussion on rescinding housing measure; Chair Tootie Smith blames panic stirred by email campaign.
UPDATED THURSDAY, MAY 6, 12:40 P.M.: The Clackamas Board of County Commissioners has decided, for now, not to end an emergency housing declaration nearly three months before its scheduled sunset. The board s decision Thursday, May 6, to stall their action on ending the declaration came after a somewhat bitter discussion over whether rescinding the emergency order would impact the county s ability to be agile in responding to safety threats to Clackamas County s unhoused populations caused by extreme weather events such as ice storms, wildfires or heat. It is set to expire on Aug. 1, 2021, but has been renewed by the board each of the last four years.

A federal prosecutor and an FBI agent met Tuesday with a West Linn community group to explain why the U.S. Attorney’s Office didn’t pursue charges against any officers involved in the bogus 2017 arrest of Portland resident Michael Fesser.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Craig Gabriel said the office found it couldn’t prove a number of potential crimes beyond a reasonable doubt. Those included, he said, conspiracy to commit a civil rights violation, public corruption, making false statements in the course of a sworn civil deposition and obstruction of justice.
Potential news for convicted murderers in Weaver family April 07 2021
Two members of the family the includes Ward Weaver III could see their sentences changed in the future.
Two of the three convicted murderers in Ward Weaver III s family are getting potential breaks from the criminal justice system.
Not Weaver himself, who is still serving two concurrent sentences of life without parole after being convicted of murdering two Oregon City girls in 2004.
But in September 2020, the Oregon Supreme Court overturned the murder conviction of the man he raised as his son, Francis Weaver. The court ruled a plea bargain agreement struck with a co-defendant by Clackamas County prosecutors violated the younger Weaver s constitutional rights. Although still imprisoned, Francis is scheduled for a new trial this fall.
