SALEM, Ore. (AP) – Oregon has taken new steps toward a potential lawsuit against the developers of its failed health insurance website by hiring a phalanx of lawyers and issuing demands for evidence and other material that could be used in a civil case against Oracle Corp. Officials declined to say how many of the so-called civil investigative demands were issued or whom they target, but they’re the first such demands issued in preparation for potential litigation against Oracle.
GRESHAM, Ore. (AP) – The 15-year-old boy who fatally shot a fellow freshman at an Oregon high school last week has been laid to rest. About 200 friends and relatives of Jared Padgett remembered him for many things yesterday, but not the violent act that will forever define him. Padgett came to Reynolds High School in Troutdale heavily armed June 10 and killed 14-year-old Emilio Hoffman before committing suicide.
ONTARIO, Ore. (AP) – The Oregon Corrections Department says a 65-year-old Multnomah County inmate serving time for soliciting aggravated murder has died in an Eastern Oregon prison. Corrections officials say Michael Kuhnhausen Sr. died of natural causes in the Snake River Correctional Institution infirmary. The agency did not elaborate.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – Portland authorities say brief, heavy rain caused the city’s sewer system to send raw sewage into the Willamette River. A National Weather Service hydrologist says as much as a third of an inch fell yesterday. The Oregonian reports that flooded the city’s combined sewage and rainwater system, discharging untreated water into the river for about 12 minutes.
