I’m still confused about this Oregon Legislature’s Special Session since we now have Annual Legislative Sessions, but what do I know! The wheels of government grind slowly with great urgency and at great length. And I’m a bit of a government wonk, so can also admit to enjoying the lawmaking process – and the show.
Speaking of shows:
If you need a break from the Oregon Capitol’s Halls of Government, the delightful Hallie Ford Museum of Art is across and down the street from the State Capitol.
USA dot gov/shutdown has federal government shutdown information and links to federal agency contingency plans.
For Shutdown Trickle-down effects on Oregon state and local government operations, check with the relevant agency, department, or office.
For health care insurance plans, visit Cover Oregon, which, oddly enough, you can’t link to from the Oregon dot gov homepage (at least as of now).
Make sure you check with your County Circuit Court or at the OJD page for any fee changes effective today, October 1, 2013.
