The Corvallis City Council authorized the city Monday night to spend up to $40,000 in council discretionary funds on cleaning up illegal campsites.
Councilors on April 5 approved a series of motions that extended the illegal camping enforcement zones to include a 50-foot buffer from sidewalks, trails, and pathways within city parks and natural areas. Additionally, the council voted to conclude the temporary allowances for camping within parks as of May 15, with full enforcement of city ordinances to begin accordingly.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer Monday dared his colleagues in the Senate to vote against the Democratic-sponsored COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act he is sponsoring.

The Corvallis City Council that begins its new term Monday 4 will be the first without Barbara Bull since 2015 and the first that did not include Nancy Wyse since 2017.
Bull, who was originally elected in 2014, chose not to run for a fourth term. Wyse, who defeated the late Joel Hirsch, then a four-term incumbent, in 2016, has won election to the Benton County Board of Commissioners and will be sworn in Monday.
Wyse replaces long-time Commissioner Annabelle Jaramillo on the three-person commission.
Bull and Wyse both performed in leadership positions on the council. Bull was council president during her second term, and Wyse was council VP in the most recent term.
