Oregon to help amid federal government shutdown
By ANDREW SELSKY
Associated Press
SALEM — With the fed-
eral government shutdown
in its second month, offi -
cials in Oregon are look-
ing to help beleaguered fed-
eral employees, possibly
with millions of dollars in
assistance, authorities said
Wednesday.
Almost 10,000 federal
employees in the state are
not getting paid because of
the shutdown, huge swaths
of federal lands are unat-
tended, creating wildfi re
hazards. Also, food stamps
for 320,000 Oregonians are
at risk if the shutdown per-
sists past February, said Lisa
Taylor, spokeswoman for
state Senate President Peter
Courtney.

U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley holds a town hall at Chemeketa
Community College in Salem on Monday.
He is drafting a bill to
allow federal employees
who are working but not
being paid to receive unem-
ployment benefi ts, Tay-
lor said. That’s in defi ance
of the U.S. Department of
Labor, which says federal
employees who are on the
job without pay cannot col-
lect unemployment. Only
those not working during
the shutdown can receive
benefi ts.

job, not our problem,”
Courtney said in a state-
ment. The cost to the state
is expected to be millions of
dollars.
“This isn’t going to be a
cheap and easy fi x,” Taylor
said.
U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley
said Monday that if Ore-
gon provides aid, he’ll seek
reimbursement from the
federal government. “If we
have a bill to reopen gov-
ernment, we can put a reim-
bursement clause in there,”
he said.
Other states are starting
to take action as well.
• In Connecticut, Gov.
Ned Lamont signed emer-
gency legislation Tues-
day that will enable essen-
tial and nonessential federal
workers to receive no-inter-
est loans during the shut-
down through a public-pri-
vate partnership.
• California Gov. Gavin
Newsom said last week
that his state will give ben-
efi ts to people still on the job
despite the guidance prohib-
iting it.
• The governors of Mich-
igan, New York and Wash-
ington state asked the Trump
administration last Friday to
let states offer unemploy-
ment benefi ts to federal
employees working without
pay.
Of concern in Oregon and
several other Western states
is that wildfi re mitigation by
conducting prescribed burns
is not being carried out as it
should. Last year’s wildfi re
season was one of the worst
in history.
College gets equity grant to help
high schoolers go to college
school board to fi ll the remain-
ing term of Matt Lindstrom, who
recently resigned and left the area for
work. He will serve out Lindstrom’s
remaining term through June .
The seat is up for election in
May.

“I’m absolutely dis-
gusted at what is happen-
ing at the federal level,” said
state House Speaker Tina
Kotek. She said she’s open
to the state helping federal
employees without access to
unemployment.
The move comes as states
are starting to fi ll gaps as the
longest-ever federal govern-
ment shutdown drags on.
Among those working with-
out pay are federal prison
guards, air traffi c control-
lers, Transportation Security
Administration agents and
Coast Guard personnel.
Courtney’s bill will have
an emergency clause and
be retroactive, with a draft
expected by the end of the
week.

it’s the federal government’s
The Clatsop Commu-
nity College Foundation has
been awarded a three-year,
$183,000 grant from Meyer
Memorial Trust for the Alli-
ance for Equity in Education,
an effort to improve tran-
sitions to college for high
school English language
learners, students of color
and LGBTQ populations.
“The more we create
inclusive environments for
diverse students, the more
welcoming we become
for all students,” Margaret
Frimoth, the college’s vice
president of academics, said
in a news release. “We want
students to experience CCC
as a welcoming and support-
ive environment.”
The grant will pay for
an alliance coordinator and
enhance existing networks
the college has with high
school students , align with
existing expectations for pub-
lic education and create a net-
work of trained educators to
address specifi c disparities.
