Gonzalez, File Avakian claims statehouse leaders allowed hostile environment a bill that extends protection against sexual harassment to student interns. Rubanoff, in an email to the AP, said “those allega- tions are false.” “I did not tell Student A or Student B that there was no legal definition of their status, and I did not tell them that there was no way for them to file a suit,” Rubanoff said. A review of laws and poli- cies about workplace harass- ment at the Capitol is being conducted by the Oregon Law Commission at Kotek’s and Courtney’s request. In order to provide rec- ommendations by year’s end, a commission work- group has been receiv- ing testimony and is hold- ing a meeting on Aug. 21 at the Oregon State Bar in the Portland suburb of Tigard. Kotek and Courtney also announced Wednesday they have established a new option to report unwanted behavior, to Rubanoff, in addition to other existing avenues.

SALEM — Oregon’s labor commissioner on Wednesday accused polit- ical leaders in the Legisla- ture and officials in the state Capitol of permitting “a gen- erally hostile environment based upon sex.” The complaint is among the latest in the #MeToo wave of sexual misconduct allegations against men in power to hit Oregon’s Leg- islature and many other statehouses nationwide. It started with an expose last year of movie mogul Harvey Weinstein. In his complaint, Labor Commissioner Brad Ava- kian said Senate Presi- dent Peter Courtney, House Speaker Tina Kotek and oth- ers failed to act quickly on complaints that then-Sen. Jeff Kruse was sexually harassing women. Kruse resigned in February after an investigation. Avakian said that as early as March 2016, the leg- flurries 30s Today AP Photo/Rick Bowmer, File By ANDREW SELSKY Associated Press rain 20s Yesterday’s National Extremes: (for the 48 contiguous states) High 113° in Needles, Calif. Low 31° in Gothic, Colo. Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian speaks during an interview on August 23, 2011, in Portland. responded: “As a woman and person in a position of leadership, I have absolutely taken every complaint that was brought to my attention seriously.” Ironically, also named in the complaint is Dian Rubanoff, a private lawyer who conducted an indepen- dent investigation of Kruse that determined he had harassed women in the Cap- itol building with prolonged hugging, groping and other unwelcome physical con- tact. Kruse, a Republican from the former timber town of Roseburg, announced his resignation two days after Rubanoff’s report was released. Both interns said they had been sexually harassed by Kruse and subjected to unwanted touching. Avakian claimed that Rubanoff told the two stu- dent interns, whom he iden- tified only as Student A and Student B, there was no legal definition of their status and no way for them to file a lawsuit. Avakian noted the Legislature in 2013 passed 10s National Summary: The risk of flooding downpours will extend from the Gulf coast to upstate New York and New England today. Storms are forecast for parts of the Midwest, Rockies and deserts. The rest of the West will be dry. — Tina Kotek, Speaker of the House islative leaders “knew or should have known of Sen- ator Kruse’s conduct and the broader sexually hostile environment in the Capitol, but did not take immediate and appropriate action to cor- rect his conduct or otherwise protect individuals from the hostile environment.” Avakian, Courtney and Kotek are all Democrats. In response, Court- ney and Kotek said in a joint statement: “We wel- come additional scrutiny and a thorough investigation related to the Commission- er’s Complaint.” Oregon Public Broadcast- ing earlier reported on Ava- kian’s complaint, which he sent to the civil rights divi- sion of the Bureau of Labor and Industries that he heads. Avakian blamed Court- ney and Kotek for allow- ing Kruse’s office to employ two student interns, in late 2016 and early 2017, after complaints had already been made about the senator’s behavior by two female sen- ators. Courtney and Kotek are co-chairs of a committee that controls Capitol facili- ties and performs adminis- trative functions, including personnel.

In a joint statement, they said a directive they crafted was approved Wednesday by the National Confer- ence of State Legislators at its annual meeting in Los Angeles. It calls on Con- gress to help legal cannabis businesses access banking services. Oregon Senate Republi- can Leader Jackie Winters said the cannabis indus- try is making big contri- butions to her state’s econ- omy, and giving it access to secure banking is criti- cal to their success. Marijuana remains ille- gal under federal law, so financial institutions are reluctant to provide it with banking services. Oregon Senate Major- ity Leader Ginny Burdick, a Portland Democrat, said operating as a cash-only business invites crime. This policy directive will help guide NCSL’s advocacy efforts in Washington. Madras boys charged in fire that destroyed 4 mobile homes MADRAS (AP) — A central Oregon sheriff says two boys, ages 10 and 7, started a fire that destroyed four mobile homes in Madras. Jefferson County Sher- iff Jim Adkins tells KTVZ the boys admitted setting a fire with lighters, and it “got away from them.” The boys were issued citations in lieu of custody for reckless burning and illegal burning. They were released to their parents. Adkins says 17 peo- ple living in three mobile homes have been dis- placed by Tuesday’s fire. The other place was unoc- cupied. There were no injuries. The boys, who are friends, live several homes down from the ones that burned at Tops Trailer Court. It was the fifth fire at the trailer park in the past five years. Appeals court: Sale of Elliott State Forest parcel illegal PORTLAND (AP) — The Oregon Court of Appeals has ruled that the sale of a tract of the Elliott State Forest to a pri- vate timber company was illegal. The ruling Wednesday overturns the sale of 788 acres to the Seneca Jones Timber Company and is a victory for environmen- tal groups who had sued to stop it. The Elliot State Forest was intended to be man- aged to generate money for public education. But logging on the land was curtailed by environ- mental lawsuits. The state backed away last year from a plan to sell the forest to timber interests. OUT WITH CABLE. IN WITH SAVINGS.
