Miss Oregon Outstanding Teen 2021 Reopening goal still a ways off AURORA BIGGERS Country Media Oregon has not met its goal of reaching 70% vaccinated by Mon- day, June 21. In early June, Gov. Brown told Oregonians that achievement of a 70% vaccination rate would lift nearly all COVID-19 restrictions across the state, just in time for her COVID-19 emergency order to expire June 28. Despite the fact that many counties are still significantly under the 70% mark — Coos County for instance is sitting at approximately 55.8% — the governor told Ore- gonians that pandemic restrictions would almost completely lift in every county, should the state over all reach the vaccination benchmark for residents 18 and over. But then daily vaccination num- bers across the state plummeted. Now, the state will not reach 70% on June 21, and may not even make the goal by the next week, when the emergency order expires.

  • Audrina Patridge Says Cameras Are Off and Love Life Is On
    Audrina Patridge Says Cameras Are Off and Love Life Is On VH1 decided not to renew Audrina Patridge self-titled reality show for a second season, but Patridge couldn’t be happier as the cancellation may just be what she needed to repair her on- again, off-again relationship with her boyfriend, BMX rider Corey Bohan. “Filming a reality show really takes a toll on relationships because your mindset is to create good TV,” the former “The Hills” star told People. “It’s really really hard on relationships so after the show, Corey [Bohan] and I really worked on what was going on with us. We spent time together.” Audrina’s breakup with Corey may have been good for her show’s finale, but the couple has since rekindled their relationship and got back together in May. How do you keep your job from affecting your relationship? Cupid’s Advice: It’s easy to let your job take over your life. Cupid has some ways to keep it from affecting your relationship: 1. Try to separate work from home: Sure, everyone has their bad days a work, but try not to bring the stress you may receive at work to your home. If your job is consistently stressing you out, it may be time to start filling out applications. 2. Balance: Although you may not have finished everything you needed to do at work before your day ended, try to make sure that you when you’re home, you’re relaxing and not thinking about what you will have to do tomorrow.

The House is ready to lead on the issues that matter most in people’s lives right now. We also need to create the space to have a focused conversation about long-term, transformational changes to modernize the people’s legislature,” Speaker Kotek said. “I’m grateful for the diverse perspectives that my colleagues will bring as we all work together to help Oregonians navigate the big challenges that lie ahead.” Speaker Kotek communicated directly with every returning and new member of the Oregon House of Representatives before deciding on committee assignments, taking the time to weigh and discuss their priorities, interests and notable experience.

  • Policy Session Worksheet
    CLACKAMAS COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Policy Session Worksheet Presentation Date: 09/09/20 Approx. Start Time: 2:30 p.m. Approx. Length: 30 mins. Presentation Title: 2020 State Legislative Session Reviews Department: Public and Government Affairs (PGA) Presenters: Sue Hildick, PGA Director; Chris Lyons, and Trent Wilson Other Invitees: Department Directors and County Elected Officials WHAT ACTION ARE YOU REQUESTING FROM THE BOARD? This is an informational update on Clackamas County’s advocacy and accomplishments during the 2020 State Legislative Sessions, including the Regular Session and two Special Sessions. No action is required. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The 81st Oregon Legislative Assembly began on February 3, 2020, and adjourned sine die on March 5, three days ahead of the maximum 35 days allowed in the state constitution for even- numbered-years, also known as short sessions. It ended with the passage of only 3 bills, following a partisan impasse over climate change legislation. The Public & Government Affairs Department (PGA) was tasked with advancing the county’s 2020 state legislative agenda, which outlined the county’s key policy and funding priorities at the Oregon State Legislature. In addition to providing legislative support to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) and county departments, PGA worked collaboratively with dozens of external partners during the 2020 session to advance the county’s legislative agenda. These groups included state legislators and their staff; legislative committee staff; state agency officials; various state lobby associations, including the Association of Oregon Counties (AOC) and League of Oregon Cities (LOC); and other regional and local government partners. Additionally, Clackamas County declared a state of Emergency on February 27 to respond to the COVID-19 Pandemic, and as the state and other counties did the same in the early days of the pandemic the state legislature scrambled to respond to projected statewide impacts, most notably budgetary losses at all levels of government.

  • OPHA Bill HB2337 Info Sheet Racism Is a Public Health Crisis
    OPHA Bill HB2337 Info Sheet Racism is a Public Health Crisis Purpose • Declare racism as a public health crisis in Oregon. • Acknowledge Oregon’s racist history and its current day impact on policies and systems that perpetuate in- stitutional racism which causes harm, trauma, illness and death to Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) Oregonians, and the need to heal these injustices through accelerated intentional actions. • Articulate investments and strategies needed to address health inequities among BIPOC Oregonians and Oregon Tribes: Invest in the following key strategies: 1. The collection of race, ethnicity, language, and disability (REAL-D) data is critical for better understanding population health by systematically measuring more granular level data to reveal the unique inequities faced by specific communities across the state. In turn, this data informs future investments in addressing health inequi- ties to focus efforts specifically where they are needed most and thereby more effectively and efficiently use and save state resources. a. Expands the collection of REAL-D data to all state agencies, subcontractors and vendors as practica- ble. b. Clarifies representation on advisory committees that informs updates to data collection standards are diverse and include at minimum: BIPOC community members, the nine federally recognized Oregon Tribes (if there is interest in participating), people with disabilities, and people with limited English profi- ciency. 2. Local public health authorities provide data to Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to develop a statewide mobile health unit plan. These units will focus on providing basic health, behavioral health, oral health, and connection to other wraparound services specifically for BIPOC communities.
