Seeds to Grow
I hate when I try to order a salad and my mouth says "I'll have a double quarter pounder with cheese."

Changing flights? Scott Erdahl, The Boeing Company, is receiving appreciation and recognition for his service on the Chamber Board. But Boeing did not fly off into the sunset. We welcomed the new board member, Michael James, Director of Finance for the Gresham site, as the Boeing rep. Thanks for your service Scott and welcome Michael.

- Cap-and-Trade (HB 2020). No activity on Cap-and-Trade last week. We are still waiting for the industry-approved amendments that OSCC and other business groups will be supporting as the bill sits in the Ways & Means Committee. The major compromise on this bill is the extension of implementation dates.
- Paid Family Leave (HB 2005). Compromise bill. Waiting on new language. Still affects businesses with one employee or more. 12 weeks instead of 36 weeks and employee must be employed at least 90 days before qualified to request.
- PERS Reform took center stage last week. SB 1049. Barely passed Senate. The democrats needed 3 republicans to vote on bill. This is a very small movement to solving the PERS problem. And the biggest cost savings comes from a re-amortization of pension debt. Over 2/3 of the savings comes from this re-financing provision.

New businesses are like babies. They need a little extra care in their infancy but as anyone with children knows, the sleepless nights are worth the trouble. Getting a business off the ground is not for the faint of heart and as they say, “requires a village”.

Tips for a Healthy, Pet-Friendly Home
Keep the toilet lids closed so that the dogs don't help themselves to a drink, and so the cats don't accidentally fall in, then run off shaking toilet water in every direction.
