概要

 Oregon state leaders have unveiled a funding plan for major renovations to the Moda Center in Portland, aiming to secure the Trail Blazers' long-term presence and boost the local economy, with Governor Kotek and county officials emphasizing its critical role in retaining jobs and events, according to KGW News.[1][5] The 2026 legislative short session, underway since February 2, has introduced nearly 300 bills, including debates over federal tax code conformity in HB 4015 and SB 1507, which NFIB opposes for potentially costing businesses millions through disconnection from bonus depreciation, alongside proposals to raise payroll taxes for the Bureau of Labor and Industries.[2][6] Portland City Hall faces scrutiny over more than $100 million in unspent housing funds, up from $35 million last week, as reported by KGW and KATU.[1][9]

In business and economy news, Governor Kotek testified in support of HB 4084, her Prosperity Roadmap bill, which includes $40 million for industrial site readiness and enterprise zone modernization to spur job growth.[7] Southern Oregon gears up for 2026 infrastructure wins like Rogue Valley International Medford Airport expansion, rural fiber broadband to Shady Cove and Trail, and Creekside Quarter downtown revitalization in Medford, promising housing demand and tourism boosts, per local development reports.[3] Federally, Portland secured millions for projects including Ellington Apartments redevelopment and safety upgrades on SE Chavez Boulevard, thanks to Senators Wyden and Merkley, as announced by Mayor Wilson.[4]

Community updates include Salem-Keizer schools planning $25 million in cuts due to enrollment declines, targeting admin and blended classrooms despite gains in literacy and graduation rates, KATU reports.[8] Portland eyes police staffing increases via a proposed council resolution.[9] A St. Helens man faces charges for allegedly plotting to kill ICE agents.[1] No major recent weather events noted.

Looking Ahead: Watch for SB 1507 work sessions this week on tax changes, gas tax referendum votes potentially shifting to May primary under SB 1599, and Blazers arena funding progress amid the session's March 9 close.[2][6][10][13]
