Washington AG threatens suit
over offshore drilling plans
By RACHEL LA CORTE
Associated Press
AP Photo/Rachel La Corte
Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson, left,
speaks to the media about the state’s opposition to
the Trump administration’s proposal to expand off-
shore drilling, as Gov. Jay Inslee looks on, Monday in
Olympia, Wash. Ferguson has said he will sue if the
state is not exempted from the plan.
“Washington
state did not ask
for offshore
drilling and we
do not want
offshore drilling
in our state.”
— Hilary Franz,
commissioner of public lands
Monday, Inslee was joined
by Ferguson and other oppo-
nents to the plan, including
tribal representatives. Inslee
acknowledged that there’s
likely not much oil off the
coast “and nobody is really
interested in it.”
But he said that the
Trump administration has
a “desire to feed their base
with stuff that’s never going
to happen, and I believe this
is one of those cases.”
One of the concerns cited
by Ferguson in his letter

is that oil and gas drilling
“would present further risks
due to the area’s geological
activity.”
“The offshore area,
known as the Cascadia
Subduction Zone, is geolog-
ically active and poses the
highest risk for massive
earthquakes and tsunamis in
the nation,” he wrote.
Commissioner of Public
Lands Hilary Franz said that
any oil exploration off of
the coast will endanger the
state’s aquatic resources.
“Washington state did
not ask for offshore drilling
and we do not want offshore
drilling in our state,” she
said. “This is a situation that
is bigger than politics. Our
public lands and waters are
not bargaining chips.”

OLYMPIA,
Wash.
— Washington Attorney
General Bob Ferguson said
Monday that he is prepared
to sue if Washington is not
removed from offshore
drilling plans put forth by
the Trump administration.
Ferguson sent a letter to
U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan
Zinke Monday, the same day
the Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management had scheduled,
and then postponed, a public
meeting in Tacoma about the
offshore drilling proposal.
Zinke announced plans
last month to greatly expand
offshore oil drilling from the
Atlantic to the Arctic and
Pacific oceans, including
multiple areas where drilling
is now blocked. The plan
was immediately met with
bipartisan opposition on
both the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts.
In the letter, Ferguson
cited an exemption that was
recently granted to Florida
“sparing that state from the
risks and burdens of drilling
and exploration off its
shores.”
“Every reason identi-
fied by the Secretary in
announcing his decision
also applies to Washington,”
Ferguson wrote. “Were the
Department to grant one
state an exemption without
an identified process and
established criteria, it would
contravene the regulatory
framework and processes
that states rely on for fair
and lawful treatment.”
Inslee has already asked
Zinke to remove Wash-
ington, along with the entire
Pacific coastline, from that
list. At a press conference

District settles suit filed by
parent of attacked student
EUGENE (AP) — The Eugene School
District has paid $24,000 to settle a lawsuit
filed by a parent whose child was attacked at
school.
Olga Telsheva sought $625,000 when
the suit was filed last year. She alleged that
officials failed to protect her son from being
beaten up by a classmate twice on Nov. 13,
2015. One assault happened between classes
at North Eugene High School and the other
was during gym class.
The lawsuit was filed on Telsheva’s
behalf by attorney Kevin Brague. The
Register-Guard reports that Eugene-area
school districts have settled three lawsuits
filed by Brague on behalf of parents in the
past two years.
Each lawsuit sought damages of $600,000
or more and settled for $30,000 or less.
Mt. Ashland closes again
due to lack of snow
MEDFORD (AP) — The mild winter has
been difficult for the Mt. Ashland Ski Area.
The mountain partially opened Thursday,
Jan. 25, following an overnight dump of 14
inches of snow. But mild conditions returned,
and there’s not enough snow to continue
operating.
A statement on the ski park website
says Mt. Ashland will remain closed until it
receives more snow.
This week’s forecast calls for sunny,
mostly clear skies with temperatures from
the mid-40s to mid-50s.
In a video message on the ski area’s
Facebook page, general manager Hiram
Towle said: “We will open at the nearest
opportunity to get you back on snow.”
Woman sues over newborn’s
death following 2-day birth
BEND (AP) — A Bend woman has
filed a $9 million wrongful death lawsuit
against the St. Charles Health System after
her daughter died following a difficult
childbirth.
The Bulletin reported Monday that
Grace Louise Marchant-Hubbs was born
unconscious after a 2-day delivery and
never regained consciousness.
She was removed from life support two
days later after tests showed no sign of brain
activity.
The lawsuit alleges that obstetrician
Mary Jane Davis did not respond quickly
enough when the baby’s mother began
bleeding.
The suit alleges that an emergency
Caesarian section was delayed 30 minutes
because of paperwork problems as the
baby’s heart started racing.
The newspaper reports that the hospital
has not yet filed a response to the lawsuit.
Soldier who died in
accidental shooting identified
PORTLAND (AP) — Officials have
identified a soldier who died in an accidental
shooting at a training facility near the Oregon
coast.
Authorities say 24-year-old Spc. Devin
Kuhn died Wednesday from his injuries in
the emergency room at Columbia Memorial
Hospital in Astoria.
Kuhn was assigned to Alpha Co., 2nd
Ranger Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment at
Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington.
Camp Rilea, based in Warrenton, is the
primary training facility for the Oregon
National Guard.
