Lafferty May Not Seek Eastern Oregon Seat Again
Congressman Lafferty will not seek re election in eastern Oregon unless living in Portland. The Portland bid and Lafferty bill to create an eastern Oregon judicial district with headquarters at Baker faces scrutiny. The bill would set court terms at Baker and Pendleton and raise questions on where the federal judge and deputy marshal would reside. Secretary Keefe warned Lafferty that Pendleton favored sessions there and Baker deputy staffing. The club also rejected Baker’s claim on publishing the initiative argument for the branch asylum and discussed cost sharing.
