Proposed settlement would end dispute over aid to Blacks
Pending applicants would benefit if federal judge approves, but state must commit to more data.
Gov. Kate Brown has announced a tentative settlement in a legal challenge to Oregon s setting aside $62 million in federal funds to aid Black families, businesses and nonprofits.
The settlement still requires approval from a federal judge.
But it would resolve a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in October by Great Northern Resources, a logging company based in John Day; Dynamic Service Fire and Security, an electrical contractor in Salem, and Walter Van Leja, its owner. It named the state through Katy Coba, director of the Department of Administrative Services and the chief operating officer of state government as the lead defendant.
