Opponents slam Hoyle for taking Bloomberg cash
Former New
York mayor
contributes
$250,000
By HILLARY BORRUD
Capital Bureau
SALEM — The Demo-
cratic primary for Oregon sec-
retary of state is growing more
contentious as the May 17
election deadline approaches.
Labor Commissioner Brad
Avakian and state Sen. Rich-
ard Devlin on Monday sharply
criticized state Rep. Val Hoyle
for accepting a $250,000 cam-
paign contribution from bil-
lionaire gun control advocate
and former New York Mayor
Michael Bloomberg. All three
are running for secretary of
state.

State Rep. Val Hoyle, D-Eu-
gene, is being criticized for
accepting a $250,000 do-
nation from billionaire Mi-
chael Bloomberg.
“At a time when Repre-
sentative Hoyle is claiming
she will get big money out of
Oregon politics, her accept-
ing the largest contribution
in the history of a s ecretary
of s tate’s race from a New
York billionaire is shocking,”
Devlin, D-Tualatin, said in a
statement on Monday. “Even
more disturbing is that this
$250,000 check is an admit-
ted direct payback for a single
piece of legislation.”
Devlin was referring to
statements by a spokesman
for Bloomberg in a recent
article in Willamette Week.
According to the Bloomberg
spokesman, Bloomberg con-
tributed to Hoyle’s cam-
paign out of appreciation
for the Eugene Democrat’s
work to gain passage of bill
in 2015 that expanded back-
ground checks to all private
fi rearm transfers, with certain
exceptions.
Brad Pyle, Avakian’s cam-
paign manager, also criti-
cized Hoyle for accepting the
Bloomberg contribution .
‘Even more disturbing is
that this $250,000 check
is an admitted direct
payback for a single piece
of legislation.’
State Sen. Richard Devlin
D-Tualatin
“The hypocrisy of Val
Hoyle is astounding,” Pyle
wrote in an email. “While
preaching her commitment to
reduce the infl uence of money
in politics she was accepting
a quarter-million dollar check
from a Wall Street billionaire,
silencing the voices of every-
day Oregonians.”
Hoyle has raised the most
money in the Democratic pri-
mary with nearly $855,000
since 2015, while Avakian has
raised $626,000 in that time
frame, according to an analy-
sis of state campaign fi nance
reports. Devlin has raised
more than $294,000 since
2015.
Hoyle received the contri-
bution from Bloomberg nearly
a year after the Oregon House
passed the gun control bill.
Cody Chasteen, Hoyle’s
campaign manager, said the
campaign was honored to
receive the contribution.
“I think (Devlin) and
commissioner Avakian have
received signifi cant donations
from organizations that have
business in front of both of their
respective offi ces, whether it’s
the Ways and Means commit-
tee or the Bureau of Labor and
Industries offi ce,” Chasteen
said. “I think those in our eyes
are a little concerning.”
Devlin is co-chair of the
budget writing Joint Ways and
Means Committee, and cam-
paign fi nance records reveal
Avakian and Devlin have both
received contributions from
entities that can be impacted
by their decisions such as the
health care industry and labor
unions.

With calls on the rise, Seaside police seek to fi ll the ranks
By R.J. MARX
The Daily Astorian
SEASIDE — The Seaside
Police Department’s biggest
challenge in the year ahead is
meeting personnel needs, Chief
Dave Ham said Monday in his
annual report to city councilors.
“We’re in the middle of the
hiring process with the death of
Jason Goodding and the retire-
ment of (Lt.) Steve Barnett,”
Ham said. The department is
ready to hire four new offi cers
and plans promotions within its
ranks.
Ham said he aimed to
get new personnel “up and
running.”
“We’re going to have a
pretty good mix between some
very lengthy tenured offi cers
and some new ones,” he said.
“One of the challenges you
have with new personnel is
molding and training them and
mentoring them to the point
where they’re ready to get out
on the streets to perform to the
best of their abilities and expec-
tations. That’s going to be a big
challenge for us this year.”

of intoxicants arrests in 2015,
down from 112 in 2014. Ham
attributed the lower number
to the loss of two offi cers who
were “very active” in drug
and alcohol recognition and
enforcement.
There were 11 assaults
reported in 2015; four
assaults were reported in
2014.
Fourteen motor vehicles
were reported stolen in Seaside
in 2015, Ham said, slightly
more than the 11 reported car
thefts in the previous year.
Some of those reports may
include cars borrowed or lent
to friends or acquaintances,
Ham said.
Sgt. Goodding’s death in
February was still very much a
part of Ham’s presentation.
Ham and others attended the
Oregon Fallen Law Enforce-
ment Offi cers Memorial Cere-
mony earlier this month.
Goodding was shot to death
in February after attempting to
arrest Phillip Max Ferry on a
warrant .
Seaside’s Bob Perkel asked
councilors to consider renam-
ing Broadway Field in honor
of Goodding.

Public safety remains the
city’s No. 1 departmental
expense.
Of the $4.4 million pro-
posed in the 2016-17 budget
for public safety, the police
department accounts for about
$3.4 million, most of that in
personnel services.
Seaside’s population of
6,495 is served by 19 police
offi cers, supplemented by
eight dispatchers and one com-
munity service offi cer, Ham
said.
Calls for service have
increased 32 percent over the
past fi ve years, Ham said.
The rise does not neces-
sarily indicate an increase in
crime, but could be a result of
increased contacts by police
staff generating a higher num-
ber of log entries, he added.
Seaside police made 54
driving under the infl uence
