TIME TO KICK THE OREGON TWILIGHT ZONE NIGHTMARE OUT THE DOOR AND TO THE CURB?
To those who read executive orders, how did Brown violate the Emergency Law? How is it Oregon’s 90 legislators are unable to read Emergency law ORS 401.165, not able to discern, are not using reading comprehension abilities and skills? How are legislators not able to see, Kate Brown violated the law since March 8, 2020?

The law reads with specificity that a county elected body requests an emergency based on geographical areas of their county. Not anyone else’s county. Not the whole state. Note this section of the law is a “may”. Which means the governor is free to do it or not do it.
The “…or…” in subsection (1) of the 401.165 law states, “…after determining that an emergency has occurred or is imminent” means the governor will make a determination about that county’s “request”. (Bolding is the author’s) Why is that end of the sentence not about the whole state? Because of ORS 401.165 (2) and 5):
Nothing found in the ORS 401.165 emergency law, which Brown cited March 8, 2020, when she declared her emergency, with her reason being because of “14 presumptive…cases”, none of it makes her EO legal, then, since, or now.
Nothing found in ORS 401.165 states an Oregon governor can shutdown every square inch of Oregon soil or the Pacific Ocean.
Truth in the Pacific Northwest awaits response from the Governor’s Office for public records to clear up this matter:
In the meantime, Truth in the Pacific Northwest will ask all 90 legislators in Salem, Oregon while the short session is still on, to request those same records, and for them to comment on ORS 401.165. If any of them have a discernment that Kate’s executive order was legal on March 8, 2020, for them to explain why they believed it then and why they believe it now?
If legislators never believed it, why then did they go along with it then and now?
