The Oregon Law Practice Management website post about the new rules on captions:
Another story (see the 4/16/10 one about the erroneous safety corridor designation) about a driver who does the research – and finds out that posted speed limit has been wrong since 1980.
Oregonian story: “Driver fights her way out of Milwaukie speed trap”, April 18, 2010:
Excerpt: “…Miles said she couldn’t believe she was going much faster than 35 mph, and she was right. The citation said she was doing 37. But what really caught her eye was the posted speed listed on the ticket — 25 mph. Miles had never noticed that the stretch of King Road between 44th and 53rd avenues was posted as 25 mph.
I don’t mean to depress you, but it’s almost Election Time again. Oh boy. May elections are primaries, with the usual array of ballot measures, so check in with your county’s election office (e.g. Washington County May 18, 2010 Voter Pamphlet).
You can also see info on statewide candidates and measures: visit the Oregon Elections Division.
Measure 68 and Measure 69 will be on the ballot.

The Media Release says “Cases decided April 15, 2010.” The case itself says “Filed April 14, 2010.” Both are referring to this case:
Emerald Steel Fabricators, Inc., v. Bureau of Labor and Industries, (BOLI 3004) (CA A130422) (SC S056265)
From the April 15, 2010, Media Release:
What if you get a traffic ticket and it’s based on the police officer’s wrong assumption about the law?
It never hurts to do a little legal research, and in this case, the homework was to make sure everyone got their facts straight: the statute AND the validity of the alleged “safety corridor designation.”

We just heard that Terry Gross’s April 13th, 2010, interview with Jeff Shesol, author of “Supreme Power: Franklin Roosevelt vs. the Supreme Court” was highly entertaining and educational (a team that is hard to beat).
Those of us in the OPB “listening area” can hear it tonight at 7 p.m.
Or, link to the transcript and podcast of Fresh Air, “FDR’s Losing Battle To Pack The Supreme Court”.
