概要

 Thousands gathered across Oregon over the weekend for the third round of nationwide No Kings protests, with at least 14 peaceful rallies in the Portland metro area alone, according to KATU News. Protesters in Eugene-Springfield, La Grande, and Gresham voiced opposition to the Trump administration, drawing support from Governor Tina Kotek and Senator Ron Wyden, who attended events and affirmed on social media that no one is above the law in Oregon or America.[1][5][8]

The Oregon Legislature wrapped its 35-day short session on March 6, introducing 293 bills and enacting 28 into law pending Governor Koteks signature, as reported by Stateside. Key measures included HB 4116 to cap out-of-state bank loan rates at 36 percent, protecting consumers, and amendments barring data centers and crypto mining from tax breaks amid energy grid concerns. Lawmakers also passed HB 4127 to reimburse Planned Parenthood for non-abortion Medicaid care, countering federal threats, and HB 4121 to bolster emergency response with a new training office and disaster authority.[2][6][15]

In business and economy news, Governor Kotek announced nearly 21 million dollars in Child Care Infrastructure Fund grants for 61 projects across 28 counties, addressing workforce barriers despite 503 applications seeking over 255 million dollars, per her office and KATU. Oregons economic development strategy emphasizes business retention, workforce alignment for sectors like semiconductors, and infrastructure, with finalization set for Q2 2026.[3][7][10]

Infrastructure advanced with 17 million dollars redirected to Safe Routes to School for sidewalks and bikeways near K-12 sites, alongside ODOT budget fixes via HB 5204 and SB 1601 to close funding gaps.[4][13] No major weather events were reported recently. A looming budget crisis from federal cuts persists, with critics noting lawmakers addressed only part of potential revenue measures.[12]

Looking Ahead: The legislature reconvenes for its 160-day long session in January 2027, tackling budgets, AI, housing, healthcare, and energy. Regional economic workshops continue through 2026.
