11. the Oregon Senate could be
the si eno o( nastv lights over
whether to seat a Democratic
senator ( onvii ted of thelt and a
Republican senator whose res
idem y has been questioned.
Peg (olin, a Cottage Grove
Democrat, recently was put on

he was running bis campaign
for the Senate
A n v seating challenges
would create a rocky start for
what is expected to lie a diffi
i ult session as lawmakers deal
with budget cuts and other
thorny issues
Some of the toughest talk
about challenges came from
Democrutu Sen Di( k Springer
of Portland, who said the res
idenev issue raises serious
questions about whether Coo
lev should be installed as a sen
ator.
"It's a legitimate area of in
quiry,'' Springer said "Our
< uncus needs a chant e to dis
cuss it specifically
The Portland lawmaker de
nied that lie's raising the res
idency issue against Cooley to
dissuade the Senate Repuhli
i ans from going after |olin
when the session convenes
"I don't see this as a bargain
ing chip ill a face-off over Peg
Jolin,'' he said
Even though Jolin now is a
i unvo ted felon, Republii ans
actually have some good rea
sons to ysant to keep her III the
Senate
Chief among them is the fail
that the judge in John's trial
spe< du ally prohibited tier from
raising any more campaign
money That would cripple her
ability to run for rtf-election in
lltlH and give the Republicans
a shot at winning her seat two
years from now
Hut Sen Penn Hannon, the
assistant minority leader and
senior Republican in the Sen
ate, said the COP caucus likely
would challenge John's seating
if Springer and other Democrats
try the same thing against Coo
ley.
That is certainly possible.'
the Ashland lawmaker said
"The potential is there for a
real battle royal. If we start out
with that kind of attitude, then
things yvil! degenerate the rest
of the session."
Some Demot rats in the Sen
ate also worry that Springer's
pursuit of the Cooley resident y
issue could set in motion an
at rimonious debate that would
be hard to'stoj
Hut Springer makes it clear
lie's reads to raise the res
