HB
2892 A Requires
that National League of Families' POW/MIA flag be
displayed with Oregon State flag on public buildings in
this state.
|
Senate Veterans |
This bill requires every public building with
flagpoles display the POW/MIA flag every day of the year.
Give it a rest.
Vietnam has spent millions of dollars recovering remains of
U.S.
soldiers. The U.S. spends over $20 million a year on trying
to recover
bones and teeth. How about displaying the Peace Symbol Flag
instead? This bill passed the House by a vote of 57-0. No
guts. |

2020 Alters
definition of "public official." Prohibits Governor, First Partner, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, Attorney General and Commissioner of Bureau of Labor and Industries from receiving money or other consideration for speaking engagement or presentation. |
House Rules |
Fairly trivial bill to define "First Partner"
and
ban speaking honoraria for statewide elected officials and
the First
Partner. Very minor tinkering with ethics laws. I suggest
we support
but note its trivial nature and failure to address
significant ethics
problems, like unlimited use of campaign contributions to
pay
relatives, including any First Partner. |

SB
292 Repeals
duplicative provision regarding conflict of interest for
planning commission members.
|
House Rules |
Very misleading title. Actually blows a
big loophole in existing ethics statutes applicable to city
and county
planning commissions. Existing law requires commissioners
to recuse
themselves from any decision involving the financial
interests of the
member of spouse, brother, sister, etc. This bill would
delete the
recusal requirement and merely require the member to
disclose the
conflict of interest. |
