Lawsuits, unpaid taxes plague company behind Columbia River refinery

A company proposing to build a nonconventional diesel refinery on the Columbia River is facing foreclosure, lawsuits and other major financial challenges across the country, according to research collected by Oregon nonprofits. The groups are calling on Gov. Tina Kotek to rescind her support of the project in light of the new information. A letter to the governor flagged Houston-based NEXT Renewable Fuels is no longer allowed to operate in Delaware because it owes nearly half a million dollars in back taxes to the state. Audrey Leonard, staff attorney for the environmental group Columbia Riverkeeper, said the problems do not stop there, adding the site of the proposed refinery in Oregon is under foreclosure because NEXT failed to make payments. "They failed to pay their business taxes and are being sued by investors and consultants that they've hired - all factors into the laundry list of reasons that this is a really bad idea for Oregon and for the community in Clatskanie," Leonard stressed. Leonard noted Kotek voiced her support for the project last year, citing the potential for jobs and added tax revenue. Neither NEXT nor the governor's office responded to a request for comment.

Berries, blood and mud: Oregon’s most delicious invasive weed

Picking berries is a quintessential summer tradition for many Pacific Northwesterners. The region has many farms, but fruit can easily be found in everyday corners. For about the past 140 years, the Himalayan Blackberry has taken over Oregon’s alleyways, waterfronts, forests and backyards. This thorny vine is actually a cousin of the rose, the plant behind Portland’s most famous nickname, but instead of beautiful flowers, the vines produce juicy fruit.

Property Watch: A Refreshed Tudor In a Neighborhood Few Have Heard Of

A rare listing in Garthwick with a third-acre lot, restored historic details, and a backyard big enough to play pickleball. To be fair, it’s easy to pass by the Garthwick neighborhood without knowing it’s there. That was the point, after all, when its earliest investors came up with the idea. In 1914, a group of men, all members of the neighboring golf club, bought a tract of land tucked between the Waverly Country Club course on the Willamette River and SE 17th Avenue, in what is now the southernmost edge of Sellwood.
