Governor Tina Kotek has long expressed support for wind power. In 2024, the Biden administration approved 195,000acres off the southern Oregon coast for wind farm construction (Wind Energy Areas) as part of its push to grow offshore wind power capacity, which gave her the means to enact this vision. However, widespread opposition from residents, including fishermen, tribal nations, and local politicians, expressed concern over the harm it would bring to the ecosystem and local industry. When these wind farms started to look like a possibility, Kotek asked Biden to halt the project for further research into the potential effects of offshore wind farms on the localcommunity. By requesting the delay, she could torpedo the plan without appearing to backpedal on her previous platform.However, Kotek was recently tossed a lifeline from an unexpected source. The Trump administration's Bureau ofOcean Energy Management, or BOEM, has rescinded all wind power plans for the southern Oregon coast, to the relief of communities in those areas. This new Kotek and Trump alliance has handed the governor the pause on offshore wind she likely wanted. Don't hold your breath, however, waiting for the Governor to send Trump a thank-you note.

If you’re having a bit of deja vu over a plastic bag ban, you’re not alone. When Oregon lawmakers passed the first ban in 2019, which prohibited using so-called single-use plastic bags, more than a dozen Oregon cities had already passed such bans. But the ban's environmental aim of reducing the use of plastic - and its impacts on the environment and human health - did not end up achieving that goal. Grocers replaced the thinner, single-use bags with a thicker, sturdier version that in theory could be reused but only rarely were. The new plastic bag ban lawmakers have now sent to the governor for signature would eliminate all plastic bags from grocers and restaurants in favor of paper bags. Celeste Meiffren-Swango is the state director of Environment Oregon. She joins us to share more about how this new bill is expected to actually reduce plastic waste and what she hopes people do between now and Jan. 2027, when the law goes into effect.

Nous sommes le 2 octobre 1904. Neuf jours avant la bataille de « Waterberg » du nom du plateau ainsi baptisé par les Allemands, en Namibie. La puissance coloniale est en guerre contre les Herero commandés par le chef Samuel Maharero. Berlin a décidé de l'envoi massif de troupes placées sous le commandement du général Lothar von Trotha. Celui-ci a rédigé un ordre dit d'extermination. Il écrit : « Moi, le général des troupes allemandes, adresse cette lettre au peuple herero. Les Herero ne sont plus dorénavant des sujets allemands. Ils ont tué, volé, coupé des nez, des oreilles, et d'autres parties de soldats blessés et maintenant, du fait de leur lâcheté, ils ne se battent plus. Je dis au peuple : quiconque nous livre un Herero recevra 1.000 marks. Celui qui me livrera Samuel Maharero recevra 5.000 marks. Tous les Herero doivent quitter le pays. S'ils ne le font pas, je les y forcerai avec mes grands canons. Tout Herero découvert dans les limites du territoire allemand, armé comme désarmé, avec ou sans bétail, sera abattu. Je n'accepte aucune femme ou enfant. Ils doivent partir ou mourir. Telle est ma décision pour le peuple Herero ». Plus d'un siècle plus tard, et pour la première fois, le 27 mai 2021, l'Allemagne a reconnu avoir commis “un génocide” en Namibie. “À la lumière de la responsabilité historique et morale de l'Allemagne, a déclaré le ministre des Affaires étrangères, Heiko Maas, nous allons demander pardon à la Namibie et aux descendants des victimes pour les atrocités commises ». Quelles sont les raisons et les conditions de « ce premier génocide du terrible vingtième siècle », selon l'expression d'Albert Camus ? Peut-il être vu comme une sorte de matrice de la Shoah ?

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek stopped by the OPB studio this week for an extended interview with Think Out Loud. She talked about her housing policy, what she views as her role in responding to the Trump administration and much more. It was a meaty conversation. Here’s governor Kotek with OPB’s Dave Miller  

Since our last conversation with Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, President Trump has enacted tariffs and mass layoffs that could significantly impact Oregon’s federal workforce and economy. The Oregon Legislature has also begun its biennial session, taking up issues around education, transportation and housing. Kotek joins us in the studio to talk about all of that and more.

Earlier this month, J.D. Tovey was appointed the executive director of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation following a vote by its board. Tovey is an enrolled member of the CTUIR, and he had been serving as the interim executive director since last May.         An urban planner by training, Tovey was appointed by Gov. Kotek as co-chair of the Housing Production Advisory Council in March 2023. The council finished its work with a report released last year containing recommendations on how to meet the state’s target of building 36,000 new homes a year over the next decade.   Tovey joins us to talk about his work on the council and his priorities for the CTUIR, including the development of the Nixyáawii neighborhood within the Umatilla Indian Reservation to ease the housing shortage for tribal members. He also shares how the Trump administration’s policies and directives could affect tribal relations with the federal government.    

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek has been consistent about her priorities since entering the governor’s mansion: housing, homelessness and healthcare. That’s left some wondering where she stands on climate and environmental issues. On the latest episode of OPB Politics Now, reporters Dirk VanderHart and Monica Samayoa discuss Kotek’s priorities and vision on the climate beat. Find the show anywhere you get your podcasts.

This week marks the inauguration of President Trump and the opening of the Oregon legislative session. With new opportunities ahead, policy makers should think hard about why government exists. The most basic thing we expect from the government is protection of lives and property. Unfortunately, many elected officials find this boring. They are obsessed with electric vehicles, fossil fuels, plastic packaging, iconic fish species, preferred pronouns, equal outcomes, and dozens of other boutique issues. They prefer working on passion projects rather than protecting public safety. It's not working. Looking at the Executive Orders issued by President Trump on his first day in office, it's refreshing to see how many of them are designed to simply get government out of the way. That's why he was elected. Of course we won't see any such directives issued by Gov. Kotek. She's a believer in central planning. But even she knows that most Oregon cities are over-taxed and over-regulated. Elected officials in Oregon are trying to do too much, for the wrong reasons.  A great New Year's Resolution would be to do less and do it better.

Schools may be closed for the holiday break, but there's a lot ahead for Oregon's public education system in 2025. We asked three of the superintendents of Oregon's largest public school districts — Kimberlee Armstrong of Portland Public Schools, Gustavo Balderas from the Beaverton School District and Andrea Castaneda from Salem-Keizer Public Schools — to join Beat Check this week for a roundtable discussion. Listen in to get the scoop on their thoughts about how the state funds education, and how that impacts urban school districts, which serve complex, high-needs communities, including families experiencing poverty and students who don't speak English as a first language. We also broke down the debate over greater accountability in Oregon's school systems, what it's like to be negotiating with teacher unions in the wake of Portland's impactful teacher strike and what classroom projects — from language immersion to early literacy — have them really jazzed about 2025.

El miércoles, 20 de noviembre, Oregón publicó su pronóstico económico y de ingresos del mes de diciembre.  El pronóstico mostró aumentos significativos que se prevé generarán $982.5 millones adicionales netos en recursos del fondo general y de la lotería para el bienio 2023-25, en comparación con el pronóstico de septiembre de 2024.  La bonificación de impuestos personales proyectada se incrementó hasta $1.792 millardos de dólares (originalmente estimada en $987 millones de dólares) y la bonificación de impuestos corporativos proyectada aumentó a $1.024 millardos de dólares (originalmente estimada en $882.8 millones de dólares).  Se requerirá que la bonificación de impuestos corporativos se destine a la educación K-12 durante el bienio 2025-27. Ninguno de los recursos adicionales está disponible para las escuelas durante el año escolar actual. El crecimiento proyectado de los ingresos netos del fondo general y de la lotería en 2025-27 es significativo, con un aumento de $2.337 millardos con respecto al pronóstico de septiembre de 2024.  Esto incluye $945 millones adicionales en ingresos de 2023-25 ​​que se transferirán al ciclo presupuestario 2025-27. En contraste, el Impuesto a las Actividades Corporativas, que es la fuente de financiación de la Ley para el Éxito Estudiantil, experimentó una pequeña caída en los ingresos proyectados para el bienio 2025-27, una disminución de $40.1 millones en comparación con el pronóstico de septiembre.  Incluso con las noticias positivas sobre ingresos, los promotores de la educación K-12 aún necesitan presentar un caso claro y convincente en la sesión de 2025 acerca de invertir en nuestras escuelas públicas para satisfacer las necesidades cada vez mayores y más complejas de nuestros estudiantes.  Existen importantes necesidades y solicitudes de inversiones en viviendas asequibles y servicios para personas sin hogar, programas de apoyo para salud mental y adicciones, y otros servicios estatales críticos que competirán por la financiación.  También existe una gran incertidumbre a nivel federal mientras esperamos posibles cambios en las políticas económicas, los impuestos federales, posibles nuevos aranceles y cambios en la financiación de los programas federales de prestaciones sociales. Estas políticas económicas a nivel federal pueden tener impactos significativos en las perspectivas económicas de Oregón y el presupuesto estatal en 2025.  Mientras esperamos la recomendación del presupuesto por parte de la gobernadora Kotek que se publicará a principios de diciembre, instamos a todos los electores a revisar nuestro paquete de abogacía legislativa para obtener antecedentes concisos y una descripción general del presupuesto escolar en Oregón, así como su impacto en el Distrito Escolar de Hillsboro.  Las páginas 2 a 5 brindan esta información general, y los apéndices de las páginas 6 a 16 son los diversos materiales de abogacía que preparamos a principios de este otoño.  Nuestros estudiantes destacados son un grupo de seis estudiantes junior y senior convirtiendo sus sueños universitarios en realidad a través del transformador Proyecto de Porfolio de UNCF. Esta iniciativa ha estado abriendo puertas a estudiantes de grupos minoritarios en Oregón y Washington desde 2006. El enfoque integral del programa incluye 14 sesiones consecutivas de «campamentos de entrenamiento» que se realizan los sábados, en las que los estudiantes reciben apoyo integral que va desde la preparación para la evaluación SAT hasta orientación para becas.  Además, los estudiantes junior participantes de este año tendrán una oportunidad extraordinaria, patrocinada por Alaska Airlines, de embarcarse en un recorrido de una semana de duración por colegios y universidades históricamente de raza negra en marzo. ¡Así se hace, estudiantes y mentores! ¡Nos hacen sentir Orgullosos de Ser HSD!

At the end of September, when the federal government canceled Oregon's first-ever offshore wind lease sale, many people were left with questions about why and what's next. The announcement from the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management came after Gov. Tina Kotek sent a letter to the agency asking it to stop the Oct. 15 auction. Kotek cited tribal opposition and a tribal lawsuit among the reasons for halting the lease sale. That lawsuit was filed by the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians, which has emerged over the past two years as one of the most vocal opponents of offshore wind, demanding the bureau conduct in-depth reviews of the impacts of floating turbines on marine life and fishing areas. Despite the lawsuit and the canceled auction, the tribal confederation has continued talks with the federal agency. Because the reality is that the turbines are badly needed to generate clean electricity and help achieve state and federal climate goals. The questions remain: how and where should these projects be built? Brad Kneaper, Tribal Council chair with the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians and Rick Eichstaedt, the tribes' attorney, talked on Beat Check about why his tribes decided to sue to halt the auction and what the path forward for Oregon's offshore wind is.

We are thrilled to share this COBT episode recorded live from Plant Vogtle featuring John Williams, Senior Vice President of Technical Services and External Affairs at Southern Nuclear, John Kotek, Senior Vice President of Policy Development and Public Affairs at the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), and Bill Flores, Vice Chairman of ERCOT and Veriten Senior Advisor. Brett Rampal and I had the pleasure of traveling to Waynesboro, GA for an exciting tour of Vogtle to see the completed units before sitting down with John Williams, John Kotek and Bill Flores for their perspectives on Vogtle and the broader nuclear energy landscape in the US and globally. Vogtle is the largest generator of clean energy in the US and is jointly owned by Georgia Power, Oglethorpe Power Corporation, the Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia and Dalton Utilities. The plant was named after Alvin Vogtle, a past Chairman, President and CEO of Southern Company and World War II veteran. The film “The Great Escape” was based in part on Mr. Vogtle's courageous wartime experiences (additional history linked here). In our conversation, John Williams first shares key background on Units 3 and 4 and how they've improved upon Units 1 and 2 in terms of technological advancements and safety features. We discuss the massive project of constructing Units 3 and 4, which involved a workforce of over 11,000 on-site employees, the economic benefits of nuclear facilities, the costs associated with building and operating nuclear plants, the US and global outlook for constructing additional AP1000 units, and the impact of nuclear energy development in the US, as well as its broader implications for global energy security. We touch on the obstacles faced during the construction of Vogtle 3 and 4 including regulatory challenges, the Fukushima incident in Japan, the bankruptcy of Westinghouse in 2017, and the impact of COVID-19 in 2020. In building the new units, Southern Company also faced the difficulty of finding an experienced workforce and re-creating a nuclear supply chain with Units 3 and 4 being the first new build nuclear plants in the US in 30 years. The scale of the project and site really struck us and John Williams put that into perspective when he pointed out that the concrete used for the expansion could lay a sidewalk from Waynesboro to Seattle and back. We also cover the safety and security of the facility, concerns over losing expertise as nuclear workers move to other industries with no other nuclear plants currently being built in the US, nuclear waste management, the growing appeal of nuclear energy careers to students, and much more. We were highly impressed with the entire experience and are excited to share our findings with you. Mike Bradley wasn't able to join the Vogtle field trip but passed along his market observations. He noted that markets (bonds, commodities and equities) all traded lower on Tuesday. From a broader equity market standpoint, the S&P 500 (-2.2%) and Nasdaq (-3.2%) were both pressured lower on Tuesday due to a substantial pullback in the S&P Technology sector (-4.4%) and shares of NVIDIA (-9.5%). Additional pressure could befall the S&P 500 given that September is historically the “worst” performing month for the S&P 500 by far, with the average September decline (over the last five years) being just over 4%. From a crude oil standpoint, WTI price traded down ~$3.25/bbl (closing at ~$70.25/bbl) on news that Libya was looking to restart ~0.5mmbpd of crude oil exports that had been temporarily curtailed. Goldman Sachs downgraded its long-held bullish copper call (mostly due to signs of slowing Chinese copper demand), which is also one of the main culprits that has been hanging over crude oil markets slowing global oil demand concerns. Given that this week's COBT focus was on Vogtle, he rounded

Authorities in Oregon have known for over three decades that groundwater in the eastern part of the state, a rural region where many people rely on domestic wells for drinking water, is contaminated with high levels of nitrates and unsafe to drink – yet, until recently, have done little to address the problem. Until 2022, many people in the region had no idea they had been drinking contaminated water for years. Some still don't know it because the state has tested only about half the affected domestic wells despite a 2023 deadline to finish the testing. Research has linked high nitrate consumption over long periods to stomach, bladder and intestinal cancers, miscarriages, as well as thyroid issues. It is especially dangerous to infants who can quickly develop “blue baby syndrome,” a fatal illness. In May and again earlier this month, three dozen nonprofits and two retired Oregon Department of Environmental Quality administrators sent a letter to Gov. Tina Kotek asking her to make good on her promises to test all domestic wells in the region, find a permanent source of water for those forced to rely on bottled water and take action to clean up the groundwater. Kotek had visited the area after becoming governor.The letter called the nitrate contamination in the Lower Umatilla Basin “among the most pressing environmental justice issues in Oregon.” Most of the population in the region is poor, Latino or Indigenous. Late on Friday, Kotek sent a response. In her letter, the governor said she has directed the Oregon Health Authority to, among other actions, complete the testing of the remaining wells and the retesting of some households identified as being at high risk by June 30, 2025.Kristin Anderson Ostrom, the executive director of Oregon Rural Action, and Kaleb Lay, the group's director of policy and research, talked on Beat Check about why the contamination has taken so long to address, what can be done about it in the short and long term and what the crisis says about Oregon's approach to environmental justice. The eastern Oregon nonprofit, alongside the Morrow County public health department, has been instrumental in testing domestic wells in the region and pushing the state to do more testing and to limit nitrate pollution.Allowing another full year to test the remaining wells and setting the bar low on retesting is not an adequate response, Ostrom said. And the state needs to take substantive action to rein in the sources of pollution, she added. Much of the nitrate contamination comes from farm fertilizer, animal manure and wastewater that are constantly applied to farm fields. “This is an ongoing emergency and it needs to be recognized as one – the lives and health of thousands of our neighbors are at risk and it's the State's responsibility to protect them from further harm,” Ostrom told The Oregonian/OregonLive.
