CHIEF SPONSOR: Sen. Floyd Prozanski (D-Eugene) WHAT IT WOULD DO: SB 426 aims to hold both property owners and general construction contractors jointly and severally liable for unpaid wages. The bill would allow workers who have been stiffed—or the Oregon Department of Justice on their behalf—to sue the general contractor or the owner of a project, rather than just a subcontractor who might have hired them.

Executive Order Could Affect Oregon Logging; Bears are Out and About; Women Build; Body of Missing Child Found

Oregon is the top producer of softwood lumber in the country, so the order could have serious implications for the state. Nick Cady is the legal director of Cascadia Wildlands in Eugene. He says the order’s claim that onerous federal policies have forced the country to rely on imported lumber is incorrect. In fact, he says the U-S is one of the world’s leading timber exporters.
