Nicole Washington+FollowRite Aid Out, CVS In: Oregon Pharmacy ShuffleHeads up, Oregon! If you’ve been picking up your meds at Rite Aid, you’ll soon be seeing a CVS sign instead.

Joe Gallagher+FollowPortland faces tough choices on roads and jobsOregon’s transportation system is at a breaking point—without new funding, hundreds of ODOT workers could lose their jobs and road maintenance across the state would take a serious hit. Governor Kotek’s new plan aims to keep crews working and our roads safe, but it comes with a gas tax hike and higher registration fees. Some see this as a necessary fix to avoid massive layoffs and service cuts, while others worry about the impact on families already feeling squeezed. What do you think: is this the right move to protect our roads and jobs, or is it just another burden for Oregonians? #Transportation #Portland #OregonNews00Share
Kaitlyn Page+FollowOregon worker tricked, then fined after fake firingImagine being told you’re fired by a manager, only to find out a week later they didn’t even have the authority—and now you owe the company $300 for not showing up! That’s exactly what happened to an Oregon employee, who was caught in a bizarre HR mess after a manager manipulated them into thinking they’d lost their job. When their real supervisor finally reached out, things only got messier: the absence was considered a breach of contract, and legal threats followed. This wild story is sparking debate online—would you fight the fine or just move on? #JobCareer #WorkplaceDrama #OregonNews91Share
Anne Clark+FollowOregon’s Wild New Driving Fees Are HereOregon drivers, brace yourselves—big changes (and bigger bills) could be coming! Lawmakers are debating a massive transportation bill that could mean a $340 yearly fee for EV owners, higher gas taxes, and a bunch of new or increased fees for car sales, registrations, and even DMV tests. New cars? 2% sales tax. Used cars? 1%. Even getting a license plate will cost almost triple. All this cash is supposed to fund major road projects, safer streets, and more. Would these new fees change how you drive? #OregonNews #CarCosts #EVs #Transportation1618Share

Time will tell, but it’s a classic case of progress vs. preservation. #LithiumRush #ElectricVehicles #OregonNews #SustainableFuture #MoneyMoves #Business30Share
