Senate Bill 844, sponsored by three Dem- ocratic lawmakers and one Republican, is currently in the Ways and Means Committee awaiting a hearing. A coalition of health insurance and health care companies, public employee unions, AARP Oregon and OSPIRG that supports Senate Bill 844 reported spending $7,247 on that effort in the first quarter. PhRMA Public Affairs Director Jasmine Gossett said most of the trade group’s re- ported spending was on advertising, which includes ads urging people to contact law- makers and express opposition to the bill. “The majority of the figure in our lobbying report includes advertisement expenditures related to SB 844,” Gossett wrote. “To make fair and balanced policy decisions, legisla- tors need to hear from all sides of an issue. That is even more important when it comes to protecting patients’ access to medicines and future treatments and cures. As the in- dustry is committed to fighting COVID-19, this harmful policy would threaten the very research and investment needed to get us out of this and future pandemics.” Supporters of drug price limits dispute PhRMA’s claim that potential caps would un- dermine development of medicines. U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley said the high prices of prescription drugs are a top complaint he hears from Oregon constituents no matter their party or where they live. “It’s an issue that no matter whether if I’m in a blue county or a purple county or a red county, citizens want us to address it,” he said. Pseudoephedrine Continued from A11 Methamphetamine remains illegal, al- though under a ballot measure Oregon voters passed last year, possession of small amounts is no longer a crime. Ephedrine is banned as a performance-en- hancing drug by college sports and some professional sports leagues. House Bill 2648 retains some restrictions on access to such medicines. People can ob- tain them by showing a photo identification to establish age — the minimum is 18 — and receive them from behind the store counter. In addition, purchases are tracked by a sys- tem known as the National Precursor Log Exchange (NPLEx). Mississippi, the only other state that re- quired a prescription, recently passed a sim- ilar bill. The Oregon bill, if passed by the Senate and signed by Gov. Kate Brown, would begin the new requirements on Jan. 1, 2022. e e pwong@pamplinmedia.com Elaine Thompson/AP A line of Boeing 777X jets are parked nose to tail on an unused runway at Paine Field, near Boeing’s massive production facility in Everett, Washington. Boeing posts 1st-quarter loss, takes a hit on Air Force One work BY DAVID KOENIG The Associated Press Boeing Co. reported a wider than expected first-quarter loss on Wednesday and took another charge on its program to build two new Air Force One presidential planes after firing a contractor it hired to help perform the work. The company did not provide a timetable for fixing the latest problem with its 737 Max jet, an electrical issue that has forced airlines to park about 100 of the planes. The combination of self-inflicted damage and a coronavirus pan- demic that has depressed demand for new planes pushed Boeing to its Cookies Continued from A11 Wing’s drones are able to navi- gate autonomously — without a hu- man pilot controlling them remotely — and are powered by two forward propellers on their wings and 12 smaller vertical propellers. When a drone reaches its destination, it hov- ers above the front lawn as a tether sixth straight quarterly loss. How- ever, CEO David Calhoun said the company is at an “inflection point,” with an increase in vaccinations against COVID-19 raising hopes for a rapid recovery in air travel that could translate to aircraft or- ders. Boeing lost $561 million — $537 million attributable to shareholders. After the quarter ended, Boe- ing suffered a new setback with its 737 Max jetliners, the grounding of dozens of the planes because of is- sues around electrical grounding of some parts. Boeing continues to say that the fix is simple and will take three or four days per plane once the Fed- eral Aviation Administration ap- proves Boeing’s repair method, but airlines including Southwest, American and United have now been without some of their Max jets for nearly a month with no cer- tainty about when they will be able to use them again. Boeing only recently resumed deliveries of its two-aisle 787 jets after discovering flaws in the fu- selages. And the debut of its next plane, the 777X, is behind schedule because of design changes. The company is also dealing with delays in its work to build replace- ments for the current Air Force One planes, which are specially modified 747 jumbo jets. The pro- gram is not crucial to Boeing’s fi- nancial health but carries prestige, building the presidential planes that are recognizable around the world. Boeing took a first-quarter charge of $318 million related to its $3.9 billion contract with the Air Force for new presidential planes. Boeing fired and sued subcontrac- tor GDC Technics, which in turn laid off about 200 workers and filed for bankruptcy protection this week. GDC, hired for interior work on the planes, filed a countersuit against Boeing. It is not clear whether Boeing will meet its December 2024 dead- line for delivering the planes. releases to drop the package. “It was so smooth and it didn’t shake,” said Walker, who, before her troop added drones to its sales strategy, would don a mask and set up a cookie booth outside a home improvement store. “They look like a helicopter but also a plane.” There’s not much evidence that consumers have been clamoring for drone delivery, and many have ex- pressed privacy, safety or nuisance concerns when asked to imag- ine the noisy machines over their homes. But in a small survey of Chris- tiansburg residents by researchers at nearby Virginia Tech that Wing helped fund, most townspeople appeared to be content with the drones. “One of the reasons is because Virginia Tech is here and there’s an engineering culture of trying new things,” said Lee Vinsel, an assis- tant professor of science, technol- ogy and society who conducted the Virginia Tech survey. “And the suburban setup is easiest for drone delivery.” That might not be the case for much denser places, he added. “Manhattan would be tough.”
