4/5/2011: President Lariviere’s UO Freedom legislation is off the table until the next session, and apparently many other education bills are also stuck in the House Ed committee. But the state Senate seems to be rolling right along with the bill to allow UO to convert DPS to an armed, sworn police force with fat extra PERS benefits. Committee work session on Thursday.
Millions for nonsense, not a cent for common sense. My guesstimate is that there will be a major incident involving firearms or tazers within 2 years. Under Lariviere’s new partnership, I believe UO will be responsible for the consequences – not the state. So how is the planning for a UO Police oversight board coming? It’s turned into a joke, according to a report from an anonymous committee member or members. 6 meetings and here is the output. Meanwhile live-fire exercises proceed on schedule.
