FBI spokeswoman Beth Anne Steele said there was damage to the car, and agents believe an explosion occurred outside the vehicle. Steele said a body was found, but she wouldn’t say where. The medical examiner will determine cause of death, she said.

But a second, personal Gmail ac- count also was sent to the state com- puters in what Hoffman said was an unintentional move. An unknown number of those thousands of person- al emails were leaked to Willamette Week, leading his lawyers to threaten the state. Questions remain whether Kitzhaber waived his attorney-client privilege when those private emails were sent to state computer serves - a process that some argue leaves the emails in the public domain. Hoffman asserted that Kitzhaber still has the ULJKWWRWKDWDWWRUQH\FOLHQWFRQ¿GHQWL- ality on the personal emails. Hoffman also argued that Kitzhaber has similar privilege for his communi- cations with Liani Reeves, the former governor’s general counsel, and Ste- ven Powers, her deputy. Deputy Attorney General Fred Boss responded to Hoffman in a Feb. 27 letter that the attorney-client privilege in that circumstance belonged to the RI¿FH RI WKH JRYHUQRU ² QRW WKH IRU- mer governor. Boss said the state has the authority to decide whether those emails can be released. — The Oregonian reporting Funding denied to project tied to Boardman coal port “These are the kind of projects that are going to revitalize rural Oregon.” SALEM — Six transportation proj- ects — but not a much-debated dock renovation that was a proxy in a wider debate over coal exports to Asia — will share $7 million in state money. The Oregon Transportation Com- mission voted 3-1 Thursday for the allocation of lottery-backed bonds under Connect Oregon, which funds projects other than highways and bridges. But the list omits the top-ranked project, which proposed $2 million for renovation of a World War II-era dock at Port Westward near Clatskanie. The Port of St. Helens proposed to match it with $3 million to develop it for use by ocean-going ships. “These are the kind of projects that are going to revitalize rural Oregon,” said commission member Susan Mor- gan, also a Douglas County commis- sioner, who was the lone dissenter. “I think that to deny the people in 211 S.E.
