GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS
OREGON STATE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE gives these bills a thumbs up or thumbs down:

👍HB 3389. Unemployment tax rate relief on employers, particularly those whose experience ratings were negatively impacted by the pandemic. Note: Bill passed out of House and is now in Senate Chamber.

👎HB 2814: Requires DEQ to study program and policy approaches to reducing diesel emissions attributable to “indirect sources” of air contamination including construction sites. (Example: If you build an apartment complex with garages and parking spaces, which according to HB 2814 will be an indirect source of gases, DEQ would be the additional entity issuing permits and fees for the project.)

SMITH ROCK

Towers of volcanic ash rise like the spires of a cathedral out of the sage and dust of the high desert at the birthplace of American sport climbing.

Thousands of routes attract climbers from every part of the globe, including more than a thousand bolted routes. Cliffs of tuff and basalt are ideal for rock climbing of all difficulty levels. There is sport climbing, traditional climbing and bouldering. Hiking and mountain biking and opportunities to spot golden eagles, prairie falcons, river otter and beaver in the park attract even those who don’t come for the climb.
