Former USC & Pitt QB Sends $144.7B Jensen Huang Bold Oregon State Proposal After Nvidia Exit

Former USC and Pitt quarterback Max Browne has a bold financial plan to turn Oregon State into a college football powerhouse, and he wants newly departed Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to fund it.

This week, Huang resigned as the Nvidia CEO following reports of a couple of affairs, with one involving a woman U.S. officials reportedly believe works for Chinese intelligence. He handed in his resignation on Thursday after the New York Times report...

Customers push back as PGE seeks 8th straight rate hike

More than a dozen people joined a Nov. 10 Oregon Public Utility Commission meeting to provide testimony on proposed Portland General Electric rate increases . Most attendees spoke against PGE's proposed plan to increase overall rates by 4.8% and residential rates by 3.9%. That would raise costs for the average residential customer by $8.33 per month, according to PGE. The changes would go into effect July 1, 2027, but would first have to be approved by state regulators, likely by June 15. The potential hike makes eight consecutive years of PGE rate increases , according to the Oregon Citizens' Utility Board . PGE has more than 950,000 customers in Oregon. Its coverage area includes Salem, Woodburn, Silverton and much of the Portland metro area. "The working class people in the Portland metro area, we have nothing left to give," said Jennifer Lighthart, who testified and asked that PGE's residential increase request, at minimum, be denied. "It's not right that a company that brings in billions of dollars in revenue every year is begging the normal regular public for money to hit their goals," Lighthart continued. Kathryn Chambers, a Salem resident, said she is a senior citizen who has health issues
