AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoMultistate Antitrust Fight: California-led Democratic AG coalition (including Oregon) filed to block Paramount Skydance’s $110B Warner Bros.

Oregon Legal/Policy Watch: Oregon AG Dan Rayfield is part of the fight and previously sought documents tied to Paramount’s lobbying push, then withdrew a records demand and delay motion to consider next steps.

Oregon Workforce & Safety: Oregon is rolling out free rural worker safety trainings (falls, struck-by, electrocution, heat illness prevention) in Hermiston, La Grande, and Pendleton. Wildfire Response: Multiple Oregon fires are active with very low containment on several, including East Evans Creek in Jackson County at 5% contained. Local Business: Bentley’s Coffee (dog-donation model) is building a drive-through Redmond location for a fall opening.
