Rix said the audit was “Àat out inaccurate.” “We had the thought that maybe this was a form of retaliation,” Rix said. “It’s not dissimilar from the other report in that it is not well researched or well founded.

BRIEFLY OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — State health of¿cials say a %enton County man has died from West Nile virus, the ¿rst such death this year in Washington. The Department of Health said Thursday that the man in his 80s was likely exposed to the virus near his home. He was hospitalized before he died. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is testing to con¿rm the infection.

LEGAL NOTICE You Could Get $164 or More If You Bought Gas in Oregon at an ARCO or ARCO ampm Station and Paid a Debit Card Fee Case Update You may have seen a previous notice in this case. The Oregon state rule on unclaimed money in class actions has recently changed, and your rights may be affected. People who did not previously receive a letter about this case, ﬁle a claim, or opt out of this lawsuit may need to take action. If this applies to you, you must ﬁle a claim or opt-out of this lawsuit to preserve your rights. Any money that is not claimed will be paid to Oregon Legal Services and an entity (or entities) chosen by the Court. What is this case about? An Oregon jury found that BP West Coast Products LLC (“BPWCP”) charged more for gas than the amount registered at the pump and failed to properly disclose its prices when it charged a 35-cent fee to consumers who used debit cards to pay for gas at Oregon ARCO stations and ampm locations. BPWCP has denied the claims in this case and plans to appeal the jury verdict. Federal audit says %PA wasted $5.2 million on nixed software PORTLAND (AP) — A federal audit says the %onne- ville Power Administration spent millions on hiring soft- ware that was later replaced. An audit released by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Inspector General says $5.2 million was wasted on hiring software that the Port- land-based power marketing agency stopped using in June 2014, the Oregonian reported. Tacoma-based Avue Technologies was contracted to provide the software in 2012.
