Board discusses supporting lawsuit against governor
The county Board of Commissioners on Thursday briefly discussed a request by new Chair Mary Starrett to send letters of support to three Oregon legislators who are suing Governor Kate Brown to challenge the authority of her executive orders.
They took no action, however, because Commissioner Casey Kulla asked to be allowed time to read the lawsuit and dueling motions for summary judgment, first. Commissioners will take up the discussion again next week.
It was the first meeting for newly seated commissioner Lindsay Berschauer, and proved a grueling one, with lengthy discussions of a wide variety of issues.
