The other groups are coming up with suggestions for easing congestion, improving pedestrian and cycling commutes, coming up with accountability measures and addressing air and rail needs. The four other groups will report their recommendations tentatively by April 3. “We have never done a process like this where we have negotiated a giant package functionally in public, and pieces are going to come and go,” Johnson said. “We’ve got a long, long way to go.” After hearing the five reports, the full committee of 14 members will have to reconcile the recommenda- tions into a transportation package, expected to send hundreds of millions of dollars for projects to the Oregon Department of Transportation. “That just exacerbates the conundrum that all of us are faced with of putting together a package,” Johnson said. About 33 percent of the road pavement in Oregon is in fair or worse condition and will need replacement soon, according to ODOT. More than 700 bridges in the state need to be seismi- cally retrofitted — at a cost of $5 billion in the next 20 years — to avoid collapse in the event of a major earthquake, the agency esti- mates. Currently, the agency upgrades only three bridges were year, said Paul Mather, ODOT’s Highway Division administrator. The biggest driver for upgrading the bridges is “the long-term economic effects we are going to have on our economy,” Mather said. “We have seen disasters like Katrina and others, and this is going to be on a bigger scale than that,” Mather said of a major earthquake. “You’re going to have industry … to leave state … if we don’t have ways for their workers to get to work, their goods and services to get out to the marketplace.” The subcommittee focused on economic lifelines in the Portland metro area and looked for ways to continue mobility throughout the state through north, south and east connec- tions. BRIEFLY Youth coach charged with sexual abuse LINCOLN CITY (AP) — A youth coach in the coastal town of Lincoln City has been charged with more than two dozen sex crimes. KATU-TV reports 22-year-old Tyler William Lopez was charged Monday with sex abuse crimes involving seven boys. Lopez worked as a football coach at Taft High School in Lincoln County, and as a baseball coach at Lincoln City Youth League. Officials say he passed both background checks. Lopez’s bail was set at $1.5 million and he remains in jail. Lincoln City Police believe there may be more victims or witnesses and are hoping they’ll come forward to speak with investigators. Anyone with information is asked to call Lincoln City police at (541) 994-3636. The Oregon State Medical Examiner is awaiting toxicology results before determining the cause of death. Homeless man found dead in Portland tent Corrections adjourned and announced it would be rescheduled at a later date. “They are not listening, they are leaving,” the protesters chanted. “Shame, shame, shame on you.” Among several demands, the protesters want to stop the tuition increase and halt pay raises for administrators. They said employees earning more than $150,000 a year should take a voluntary pay cut. “We are escalating our actions today because business as usual is unacceptable,” the group chanted. “In past attempts to communicate through official channels, our concerns have repeatedly gone unaddressed and unnoted.” The board’s decision to adjourn was under- standable, said Candalynn Johnson, executive director of government relations with the Associated Students of Oregon State University, OSU’s student government. “They obviously couldn’t have talked over the students,” Johnson said. “I hope they see what happened as an act of desperation and feeling silenced.” Joshua Kaufman, speaker of the house for the university’s student government, said the protesters had good intentions, but he was disappointed with their actions. He noted that a committee originally considered a tuition hike of around 12 percent and that was reduced after listening to students. “I think this was moving in the right direction and I think this disruption came at the wrong time,” Kaufman said. “After all of these progressive steps have happened, to come in (and) disrupt the meeting and make it so they can’t vote just seems silly and almost counterproductive to me.” MULTI-MEDIA SALES Press Position Great work environment. Super awesome team. Good pay. Retirement plan. Weekends off. Interested? PORTLAND (AP) — Police say a homeless man was found dead inside a tent along Interstate 84. Portland police Sgt. Pete Simpson says officers discovered the man last week while conducting a welfare check. Officers opened the tent after getting no response and found the body of 32-year-old Christopher Martin. Paramedics revived a small dog that was inside the tent and suffering from a medical problem.

CORVALLIS (AP) — The Oregon State Univer- sity Board of Trustees post- poned a vote on a possible tuition increase after its meeting was disrupted by protesters. The board planned to vote Friday on a proposal to increase tuition by 4 percent for resident under- graduates and 2 percent for nonresident undergradu- ates, the Corvallis Gazette- Times reported. Instead, the board adjourned after the protesters marched into the meeting room, locked arms and chanted demands. An Oregon State Police trooper monitored the demonstrators but made no arrests. The board reconvened almost 90 minutes later with the protesters still in the room. Board Chairwoman Pat Reser gave the protesters 15 minutes to comment. But the group continued chanting, at which point Reser declared the meeting Press person need- ed at East Oregonian newspaper.
