On this day, November 27, 1941, Jefferson seceded from Oregon and California. Jefferson was the winning name for a new state made of California's northern Siskiyou, Del Norte and Trinity counties along with Oregon's southern Curray County. California's Gov. Culbert L. Olson was soon informed that until roads were repaired, Jefferson would be forced to rebel every Thursday. In 2008 calls for a Jefferson state gained steam and included an additional 5 counties in southern Oregon and 2 more in northern California.
Also on this day, November 27, 2009, in China Justin Franchi Solondz, an American man wanted in the US on terrorism charges, was sentenced in Dali city, Yunnan province, for making illegal drugs. The FBI office in Seattle listed Solondz among its "most wanted." Charges in 2006 related to his alleged role in 2001 with the Earth Liberation Front. Solondz was accused of having a role in the destruction of a horticulture center at the University of Washington, as well as the destruction of several buildings in Oregon.
Complaints can be filed anonymously through OSHA
In her press conference on Friday
announcing the relaxation of metrics for school re-opening, Governor Brown also announced the creation of a new anonymous complaint hotline to report schools out of compliance. During her prepared remarks, Brown said:
“We’ve also set up a secure, confidential hotline for anyone — teachers, parents, students — to call when they believe a school is not in compliance with safety requirements. Complaints can be filed anonymously through Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and schools out of compliance with health and safety requirements will be subject to corrective enforcement.â€
Oregon OSHA already operates a general complaint hotline for people to report worker safety issues. Governor Brown didn't describe how to access the tip line or how to find it online. The hotline number is 1-833-604-0884.
It's not clear if Oregon OSHA will be performing the "corrective enforcement" mentioned in the announcement for schools out of compliance with health and safety requirements, nor if the enforcement will include a tightening of the metrics for the offending school.
