The Eastern Oregon Border Economic Development Board has proposed bills before the Oregon Legislature again. Two of the bills are a second attempt to get measures passed, and board members decided at their meeting Monday to pull one bill before it got moved along in the process.
House Concurrent Resolution 1, which was introduced by Rep. Mark Owens, R-Crane, who represents District 60, would have designated onions as the official state vegetable.
However, Board Chairwoman Tiffany Cruickshank said there had been pushback from potato growers who opposed the naming of the onions, and she felt the board needed to focus on pushing other issues, recommending the bill be pulled.
