Progress stalls on push to refund $300 million in Oregon taxes on stimulus checks Today 6:44 AM Oregonians who received stimulus payments still came out way ahead, but they owed an extra $333 in state taxes on average.

Eastern Oregon senators introduce bill, taking aim at two fellow GOP senators

SALEM — A long-simmering feud among Oregon Senate Republicans surfaced on Wednesday, May 5, with the introduction of a bill pitting the main factions of the 11-person caucus against each other. Senate Bill 865, co-sponsored by Sen. Bill Hansell, R-Athena, and Sen. Lynn Findley, R-Vale, would make it a fineable offense to serve simultaneously as a state officeholder and an officer of a state central committee of a political party. Violators would be fined $250 per day. The bill has a clause that would make it law as soon as it was signed by the governor. While generic in its official language, the bill’s most immediate effect is to challenge Sen. Dallas Heard, R-Roseburg, who earlier this year was elected chair of the Oregon Republican Party. It would also take aim at Sen. Dennis Linthicum, R-Klamath Falls, a Heard ally who was elected the state GOP party treasurer.
