The second is that the city recently got an inquiry from a third-party contractor looking to lease space at the airport on behalf of an unnamed federal agency.

There are two reasons to believe they could be right.

The first is that the U.S Coast Guard recently relocated a rescue helicopter it has long stationed at the airport, potentially freeing up space.

This ruling has an impact on the lower court level.

U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut had been weighing whether to dissolve a restraining order barring Trump from sending in Guard troops. Now that the earlier appeals ruling is out, she no longer has to.

Just last week, Hartman was the lone House Democrat to vote against a transportation funding bill proposed by Gov Tina Kotek. #orleg #orpol

Dems had expected to share their plans for next steps at 4pm. That got pushed back by a couple hours. Everything I am hearing at this point indicates the vote is being delayed by a week or longer. #orleg

That changes if Democrats can find an 18th vote somewhere else. But it would need to come from a Republican, and they haven't been big fans of Gov. Tina Kotek's tax proposal. #orleg #orpol

Yes. There's a requirement that EV owners join the state's OreGo program.

Final vote goes as expected. HB 3991 passes 36-12. One Republicans, Cyrus Javadi, needed to get it across. The bill moves to the Senate, where a transportation package ran into trouble during the regular session.

House is adjourning #orleg

As @jmshumway.bsky.social notes: another Dem has arrived in the Capitol.

Rep Hoa Nguyen, D-Portland, appears likely to provide the 36th vote needed to pass the package. She has been absent for much of the year as she receives treatment for cancer.
