North Bend Police Welcome K-9 Athena to Narcotics Detection Team

FROM THE CITY OF NORTH BEND

The North Bend Police Department has introduced K-9 Athena, a Dutch Shepherd trained in narcotics detection, who will serve alongside her handler, Of cer Ben Martin. The addition marks the return of the department’s K-9 program, which has been inactive since 2017.

“Athena is a Dutch Shepherd a little over halfway through her training and certi cation process and doing very well with Of cer Martin,” said Chief of Police Cal Mitts.

“We are sincerely grateful for the major donors and broad community support that made this possible. The investment our residents and businesses have made in this program means a great deal to the department.”

Of cer Martin said Athena is certi ed to detect four narcotics odors—cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and fentanyl.

“We’re scheduled to take the MAKOR K-9 certi cation on Thursday and begin working immediately afterward,” he said. “In two weeks, we’ll attend the Oregon Police

Canine Association fall seminar in Lincoln City for state certi cation, and we plan to maintain International Police Canine Association credentials throughout her career.” What a drug-detection K-9 brings to North Bend—and the region

A trained narcotics K-9 like Athena offers several public-safety bene ts for North

Bend and neighboring agencies:

• Faster, safer interdictions: Canine sniffs can quickly identify the presence of illegal narcotics in vehicles, parcels, and buildings—reducing time on scene and improving of cer safety.

• Fentanyl response: With fentanyl among Athena’s trained odors, the team can help intercept a potent synthet-

ic opioid linked to overdoses throughout Oregon.

• Case strength and efciency: Accurate, documented canine indications—when used in accordance with policy and law—can aid probable cause determinations, support search warrants, and strengthen prosecutions.

• Mutual aid and regional coverage: The K-9 team can

assist surrounding law enforcement partners on targeted operations, traf c safety missions, and investigations, expanding impact beyond city limits.

• Community engagement: Demonstrations at schools and civic events build trust, educate the public about

Bay Area Chamber Presents Heritage Award to North Bend City Council

FROM THE CITY OF NORTH BEND

Recognition highlights 122 years of local service; Farr’s Hardware and Englund Marine among early honorees

The Bay Area Chamber of Commerce has presented a Heritage Award to the North Bend City Council, recognizing the city’s long-standing service to residents and businesses and marking 122 years since its 1903 incorporation. The Chamber recently launched its Heritage Award program to honor community institutions and businesses that have served the region for more than 50 years. Early awardees include Farr’s Hardware, now in its 108th year, and Englund Marine, which recently celebrated 80 years.

Presenting the award on behalf of the Chamber were Executive Director Rosey Thomas and Jolene Krossman, the organization’s Of ce Manager and Leadership Coos Coordinator. The recognition was made during a recent City

Council meeting in the Council Chambers. North Bend’s roots trace back to July 6, 1903, when Louis Jerome Simpson petitioned Oregon’s Secretary of

State to incorporate the townsite of Yarrow and an adjacent area developed by his father, Asa Simpson, at the north bend of Coos Bay. While such petitions were typically granted

quickly, legislative workload delayed action until December 28, 1903, when Senate Bill 5 of cially created the City of North Bend. The Heritage Award under-

step, and alongside interim CFO Doug Dickerson and the rest of the executive team, it has not made for fun reading.

The rst gure outlined was the max capacity of the hospital versus the actual level of service. BAH has 172 licensed beds and is staffed to treat 129 of them. However, over the last three years the hospital has only averaged 58 to 75 of those beds being lled.

scores the city’s role in supporting a resilient local economy and a network of long-running, family- and community-centered enterprises that continue to anchor the Bay Area.

After a loss of $24 million over FY2024, and $32 million in FY2025, the hospital is in poor standing on a $45 million loan with the Bank of Montreal (BMO). In default on that loan, BAH has failed to meet the three covenants with BMO for the loan: the debt service coverage ratio, cash on hand, and liquidity. $35 million of that loan is required to be paid in December of 2030 due to a balloon payment, upping the pressure to increase revenue and reduce cost.

The most emblematic of the hospital’s struggle is the cash reserves, which are running dangerously low in the face of what Morgan estimates could be $61 million in capital needs for the hospital (meaning new or replacement machines for essential services, the expiry of the EPIC records contract, necessary building and system updates, etc.). In June of 2022, the hospital had $104 million in cash reserves which year on year has fallen, to the point where it reached $59 million in 2024 and is now $42 million. In the face of the mounting nancial reality, Morgan brought forward a three-tiered

Court-Appointed Attorneys

Coos County has a shortage of court-appointed attorneys. I am – well, was – a court-appointed attorney until the Coos County District Attorney’s Of ce led a retaliatory 78-page bar complaint against me last month. Over the last couple of years, I’ve been taking cases in multiple counties to help alleviate the public defense crisis – and I’ve been doing it full-time.

Until last month, I was constantly on the road traveling to counties like Marion County, Benton County and Coos County. Between traveling and handling a full-time caseload, I was devoting at least sixty hours a week to my job. When I learned Coos County needed a full-time court-appointed attorney, I decided it was time to attempt some type of work-life balance. I moved from Linn County to Coos County in July of this year – while

managing a full-time caseload – to eventually be available to Coos County full-time. I spent thousands of dollars –on a public defender salary – to move to Coos County, and now I’ve found myself unemployed and broke paying thousands more to move out of Coos County, all because a particular district attorney in Coos County doesn’t like me. (You have no choice but to withdraw from all your cases when a district attorney’s of ce les a bar complaint against you.)

You’d think there’d be an uproar when an entire district attorney’s of ce is railroading a public defender like me, but as you can guess, no one wants to disrupt the status quo. When a district attorney’s of ce has the power to upend a public defender’s life without any checks and balances, we should be concerned, especially amid a public defense crisis.

From Phones to Power Tools: Central Coos Fire & Rescue Urges Residents to Know

Central Coos Fire & Rescue (CCF&R) is teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®) — the of cial sponsor of Fire Prevention Week™ — to promote this year’s campaign, “Charge into Fire Safety™: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home.” It highlights how important it is to buy, charge, and recycle lithium-ion batteries safely.

CCF&R is hosting an Open House Weekend on October 11th from 11am – 3pm at their Millington Station on Millington Frontage Rd and October

the Risks of Lithium-Ion Batteries this Fire Prevention Week

12th from 12pm – 3pm at their Sumner Station on Selander Rd. This is a free community event featuring a junior re ghter challenge with prizes, a free hot dog and hamburger lunch, and guest appearances by the CCF&R Fire Pup mascot. There will also be an auction and raf e featuring donated items from local businesses. To nd out more about the Open House Weekend visit the Central Coos Fire & Rescue Facebook page. Most of the electronics we use in our homes ev-

ery day — smartphones, tablets, power and lawn tools, laptops, e-cigarettes, headphones, and toys, to name just a few — are powered by lithiumion batteries. In fact, most everything that’s rechargeable uses this type of battery. If not used correctly or if damaged, lithium-ion batteries can overheat, start a re, or even explode. To reduce these risks, look around your home — it’s important to know which devices are powered by them. This year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign helps people understand the importance of using these batteries correctly to prevent res in the home and to follow the Buy, Charge, and Recycle Safely approach.”

Buy only listed products: Look for a stamp from a nationally recognized testing lab on the

substance abuse risks, and highlight the department’s focus on prevention as well as enforcement.

Chief Mitts added that donor appreciation events and community meetand-greets with Athena are being planned.

“So, the past month, our senior management team as well as the middle managers, we spent a lot of time on trying to come up with what’s a reasonable approach in trying to get our expense reduction. If we recall, our goal is to come up with a $30 million turnaround plan,” explained Morgan.

“I do want to emphasize to the board that this is a work in progress, so this is a point in time where we are ready to proceed with this, because I don’t think we can wait any longer.”

• Arrange pickup: Call (541) 756-3161 to coordinate with Of cer Martin

• Mail: P.O. Box B, North Bend, OR 97459

• Online: northbendoregon.us/k9donation

Donations of $100 or more will receive an of cial tax receipt.

Upcoming bene t: Ofcer Martin noted that the Ko-Kwel Casino Resort – Coos Bay will host

physician positions. That is a far-fetched number to come up with overnight, so the hospital will be trying to partner with entities like North Bend Medical Center and Bay Clinic for those doctors, in addition to bolstering their recruitment efforts.

BAH hopes that some other immediate solutions will come in the form of legislative action. The hospital has been working with PAC West lobbying group to try and nd solutions through the state legislators, specically on four proposals:

-A $10 million cash infusion from the state

a K-9 Program fundraiser on Saturday, Nov. 8, featuring the Rebel Canyon Band, with proceeds from ticket sales bene ting the program. Doors open at 6 pm for the 7 pm concert. “We’re proud to welcome Athena to the NBPD family,” Chief Mitts said. “With the community’s continued support, she’ll make a meaningful difference in keeping North Bend and our neighboring communities safe.”

these designations, and would require signi cant change to meet requirements.

These are only some of the strategies outlined by Morgan for setting the hospital back onto a course for staying open and independent. As outlined, the three main tenets of the turnaround have been, rst and foremost, to save the hospital. Followed by keeping it local if at all possible, and nally achieving nancial stability.

-Asking the state treasurers to help re nance the BMO loan

-Use of lottery bonds to help extinguish the debt

That expense reduction plan begins with taking a look at staf ng levels, where they identi ed the need to reduce staf ng by 84 full time equivalents (FTEs). Not all of that will be layoffs, emphasized Morgan. Some will be through attrition, reduction of hours, or core scheduling changes. Should that reduction be successful there would be an estimated $10.2 million in savings a year.

The best way that concerned readers can help is to have your voices heard by our state legislators. You can call the numbers listed below and state that you support any legislative measures necessary for keeping BAH alive and local in our community for years to come.

The biggest changes on that front are targeted toward travelers, contractors, and locums, who create outsized cost issues when compared to regular full-time employees. The hospital will be looking to recruit traditional hires for 39 identi ed

-Legislation to increase the Medicaid reimbursement rate Should all else fail, the contingency plan for the hospital would be a huge reduction in bed numbers and services in order to fall into one of the state’s Diagnosis-Related Group hospital designations. The state has these designations to help determine reimbursement rates for hospitals that, for instance, have less than 50 beds and are over 30 miles from another critical access hospital. BAH is unique in many aspects that see it fall outside of

North Bend Hall of Fame Inductions are Sept. 26

Staff

North Bend High School will add five members to its hall of fame before the Bulldogs host Sweet Home in football on Sept. 26.

This year’s honorees include 1965 graduate Richard Moe, 1981 graduate Bill Lucero, 2004 graduate Brian Wuethrich, 2005 graduate Ally (Romanko) Sletten and John Gunther, the former sports editor of The World.

A reception honoring the inductees begins at 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 26 in the North Bend gymnasium. The community is invited to attend the reception and there is no admission fee.

Moe was involved in student government and played football, basketball and tennis for North Bend High School. He studied political science at Lewis & Clark College before his adventurous spirit led him to explore the world and ultimately cultivate a lasting legacy in Japan. He earned a degree in history at Sophia University and became the first non-Japanese professor to be granted full tenure at Japan’s Komazawa University, where he taught from 1985 to 2017. He specialized in oral communication and gained patents in Japan and China for a pioneering method of teaching and evaluating foreign language conversation and translation called Timed Paired Practice. After retiring from teaching, he was president of RAM Corporation, a prestigious Japanese company that developed an

online version of Timed Paired Practice that helped students and global businesspeople enhance conversation skills and language education. He died in 2024.

Lucero was a three-sport athlete for the Bulldogs and later teacher and administrator in the North Bend School District. He was starting quarterback for North Bend’s football team, a threetime letter winner in basketball and a four-year letter winner in tennis, where he and his doubles partner won the consolation title at the state tournament his senior year. He was named outstanding senior athlete and awarded the Bryant Cup when he graduated from North Bend. He attended Oregon State University and Western Oregon State College, earning a bachelor’s degree in elementary education. Back in North Bend, he began a teaching career at North Bay School and later taught at North Bend Junior High. After nine years in the classroom, he returned to college, earning his administrative license. He was vice principal at North Bend Junior High for seven years and principal at North Bend High School for 14 years, during which time the school twice won the Oregonian Cup and also expanded its technical school options. He continues to live in North Bend with his wife Michelle.

Wuethrich was a stellar two-sport athlete for the Bulldogs and a state champion. He was a four-year letterman in football, helping the Bulldogs

win the Far West League titles both his junior and senior years. He was named North Bend’s football MVP as a senior and was an all-state honorable mention honoree. He capped his football career playing in the 2004 Oregon East-West Shrine All-Star game. In track and field, he set North Bend High School records in the shot put, discus and javelin, earning four medals at the state meet in the process. He was state javelin champion and shot put runner-up. He earned the Bryant Cup at North Bend and received the Prefontaine Award. He competed in track and field for the University of Oregon, Lane Community College and the Oregon Institute of Technology, where he ranks among the school’s top 10 in both the javelin and shot put and placed seventh in the javelin at the NAIA national meet. He is IT Systems Adminstrator for Glendive Medical Center in Glendive, Mont., where he lives with his wife Courtney and son Benjamin.  Romanko placed in the top 10 at the state cross country meet for the Bulldogs as a junior and senior, helping the Bulldogs finish second as a team both years. She also won four events at the district meet in track and field as both a junior and senior and placed at state in three events both years, including winning a state title in the pole vault. She holds North Bend school records in the 400 and 800 meters and 300-meter hurdles and also is Marshfield’s school record holder for the 800. Following her

career in North Bend, she attended the Air Force Academy, setting the school’s indoor record for the 800. She was her team’s MVP for both track and cross country and graduated in 2010 with a degree in history. Her career in the Air Force included becoming a pilot and flight instructor and she helped establish the first F-35 stealth fighter squadron in Alaska.  she achieved the rank of major before leaving the service. She lives in Palmer, Alaska, with her husband Mark and four stepdaughters.  Gunther grew up near Coquille and was co-salutatorian of Coquille High School’s class of 1988. He competed in the state meets in cross country and track and field for the Red Devils. He graduated with honors from the University of Oregon’s School of Journalism in 1992 and returned to the South Coast, embarking on a nearly 30year career with the World Newspaper, first as a beat writer and then for more than a quarter century as sports editor, where he covered school and community sports up and down the South Coast. He received several awards for writing and editing during his career at The World. Though he now works at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort greeting golfers and guests at Sheep Ranch, he continues to contribute to The World and remains a member of the committee for the Class 3A state basketball and volleyball tournaments. John and his bride Lori live in Coquille and have three adult children.

Distinguished women will visit for Prefontaine Memorial Run

Race is Saturday morning

John Gunter For the World

Three distinguished runners, including a pioneer marathoner, will be in Coos Bay next weekend for the Prefontaine Memorial Run, said Pre’s sister, Linda.  Jackie Hansen, Joan Hansen and Kaarin Knudsen all wanted to be in Coos Bay for the run to help commemorate the 50th anniversary of Pre’s death.

The 10,000-meter run begins at 10:05 a.m. on Saturday in downtown Coos Bay (an affiliated high school race begins at 9:45 a.m.). All finishers will

receive medals commemorating Pre’s death.

Runners still have time to sign up for the event online through midnight on Sept. 16 and also can sign up in person the day before and morning of the race. Registration and packet pick-up will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 19, and 8 to 9:30 a.m. on race day at the St. Monica Catholic Church hall at 357 South Sixth Street in Coos Bay.

The entry fee for runners and walkers who sign up for the 10-kilometer race or 2-mile fun walk is $45 for participants 19 and older who sign up by Sept. 16 and increases to $55 after that. The fee for people 18 and under is $25.

Runners in the high school race will be registered by their schools.

All the races start at the corner of Fourth and Anderson in Coos Bay and finish on Prefontaine Track at Marshfield High School’s Pete Susick Stadium.

Jackie Hansen won her first marathon in 1972 and a year later won the Boston Marathon. She is a two-time champion of both the Honolulu Marathon and Western Hemisphere Marathon.

She also was the first woman to break 2 hours and 45 minutes in a marathon, in 1974. A year later, she was the first under 2:40.

“Jackie has been instrumental in the growth of women’s running,” Linda Prefontaine said.  She helped advocate for women’s races being added for

the three longest races in the Olympics (the 5,000 and 10,000 meters and marathon). Hansen has been inducted into the Running Hall of Fame, Road Runners Club of America Hall of Fame and USA National Distance Running Hall of Fame.

Hansen qualified for the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in 1984 and was a collegiate mile champion.  She is a coach, author, educator and race director and twice has been honorary starter at the Boston Marathon, including on the 40th anniversary of her victory in the race.

“We are very lucky to have her here to honor Steve for the 50th year of his passing,” Prefontaine said.

Joan Hansen finished eighth

in the 3,000 meters at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles despite falling early in the race (Mary Slaney famously fell in the same race).

She competed for the University of Arizona and represented the United States in the 3,000 meters at both the 1981 and 1983 World University Games and the 1982 World Cross Country Championships.  Knudsen is the current mayor of Eugene and an educator, architect and author.

She was Pac-10 cross country champion for the University of Oregon and a seven-time NCAA qualifier for the Ducks. She also was a two-time Academic All-American and the NCAA Woman of the Year. She ran for the Ducks from 1994 to 1999.

As I See It

with a similar plane (first photo), but obviously not the same one.

An article in a January 1936 issue of Western World reads “Bandon’s waterfront was alive with interested spectators Friday when shortly after 4 o’clock the Savoya, Bandon’s own amphibian plane, arrived. It appeared suddenly from the north through a mammoth cloud of smoke that partly obscured the horizon. (Not sure where the smoke was coming from because this was nine months before the town was destroyed by fire). After circling over the business district, it glided gracefully down onto the river near the Moore Mill (second photo).

“Dick Dickinson, famous war flyer, was at the controls. With him was Vern C. Gorst, formerly of North Bend and now of Seattle, who is looked upon as the commercial air pioneer of the Pacific coast. The Bandon plane is built to carry a pilot, two passengers and 750 pounds.”

The third photo was taken during the Cranberry Festival parade of 1955 in front of the old Coast Guard building. The caption reads: “This float leaves no doubt that it represents school safety. It took third prize of $15. Western World was unable to identify the youngsters in the picture but they are members of Mrs. Harriet Houghton’s second grade. Riding on the float are a doctor, nurse, and several accident victims as portrayed by second graders.” I was able to identify the nurse (standing top left) as Jill Chappell, and the tall kid, top right, as her twin brother, Jack Chappell.

A press release from ODOT explains that travelers along US 101 between Bandon and Port Orford should expect traffic congestion and delays the next two weeks as work began on a culvert replacement project.

Prime contractor Farline Bridge Inc. set up their work zone at the intersection on 101 and Bearhead Mountain Lane, about six miles south of Bandon, on Sept. 8. From Sept. 9 to 19th, the highway in this area will be limited to a single lane as the contractor begins excavation work. Flaggers will provide traffic control 24/7 and travelers can expect delays up to 20 minutes.

The project will replace a failing culvert that is buried

about 20 feet below the road surface, where excavation is difficult. The work zone is sandwiched between a steep slope on one side of the highway, wetlands on the other and a stream that snakes its way in between.

Construction will require the full closure for one weekend, starting at 9 p.m. on Friday night, Sept. 19. The highway is expected to reopen late Sunday night, Sept. 21. There are no local road connections around the work zone, nor any alternate facilities for bicycles or pedestrians. The only available detour on a maintained public road is a lengthy drive along Highway 199, Interstate 5 and Oregon 42. Those who are unable to use the I-5 detour are advised to adjust their travel plans and schedules.

Work will continue for another 2-3 weeks after the weekend closure, with continued lane closures with flaggers and brief delays. The $1.25 million project is expected to be completed by the middle of October.

I personally want to thank the big crowd who turned out for the Road Diet discussion at the Sept. 2 city council meeting, with an overwhelming majority (basically all but one) testifying or raising their hand against the recommended alternative 3, which would have removed one northbound lane through Bandon from June on the east to 13th on the south.

Also a big thanks for the large number of phone calls, letters and emails, again largely against the proposed amendment to the Transportation System Plan.

After much discussion, the council, on a 4-2 vote, approved a different alternative, which will protect the four-lane configuration, but add bike and pedestrian lanes, which would require condemnation of property. Voting in favor of protecting the existing roadway were Madeline Seymour, Geri Procetto, Chris Powell and Archie Garrett. Voting against the motion were Josh Adamson and Bear Slothour.

Councilor Adamson later explained to me that he was definitely not in favor of a lane reduction, but would have preferred a fourth alternative, which would not have reduced a lane, but would have had a path on only one side which would not have required the taking of as much land.

The council pretty much understands that ODOT will never condemn property to add

a bike path, considering that the city already has an approved bike path as part of the Oregon Coast Trail, which takes off 101 at Riverside Drive, goes down First Street, up Edison Avenue, along Ocean Drive and out Beach Loop, rejoining the highway at either Seabird or Beach Junction. For those who would like to watch a video of the council meeting, it can be accessed at: https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=Z0137poqIEQ&t=592s.

I saw a disturbing post on Facebook on Sept. 5 when someone posted that at 10:15 p.m. a woman with brown hair and a hat tried to enter an apartment near Grand Avenue SE without permission. The resident was unclear if the woman lives in the complex, but said she opened the window of the apartment and tried to get in.

A recent Facebook post by Coos Forest Protective Association said they were working in conjunction with the U.S. Forest Service to protect private lands within the Wild Rogue Wilderness from fires burning in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest area. CFPA resources were being utilized to support the defense of Paradise Lodge and Half Moon Bar Lodge.

I understand that long-time

resident and former city councilor Brian

who is battling pancreatic cancer, is not doing well and is now in a Medford hospital. People who would like to send him a note could do so by addressing him c/o his daughter Klyta Leavy, 2988 Lazy Creek Drive, Medford, OR 97504. My prayers are with him!

I read about the recent vandalism at the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport where it was reported that early morning on Sept. 3, North Bend police responded to a report of criminal mischief. It was determined that several

Officers confirmed that 11 aircraft had been accessed and damaged, with visible signs of tempering. Melvin Myhill, 57 North Bend, was taken into custody on a number of charges related to the vandalism. Mr. Myhill was later released from custody. Due to concerns for public safety and his well-being, he was transported to Bay Area Hospital for a mental evaluation. *****************

James Clayton Choat, better known as Jasie

November 9, 1935 - September 7, 2025

Born on 11/9/35 in Portland Oregon to Sam and Kate Choat. Passed away at home on 9/7/25 after an extended illness. He was surrounded by family.

He graduated from North Bend High School in 1953 and from the University of Oregon in 1957.

In 1955, he married his high school sweetheart, Bonnie May Prosa.

They celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary with a family gathering on August 28th.

He joined his family business, Industrial Steel and Supply in 1957, as the warehouse manager, but his career actually started at the age of 10, when he could be seen sweeping floors, moving stock and helping customers.

After retiring in 1999, he built a shop which became a gathering place for many local Model A owners who profited from his knowledge and mechanical skills.

He and his wife took several extended trips with the Myrtlewood A Car Club, often being the last car in the caravan so he

could be available to help others who had mechanical difficulties.

The highlight of his year was gathering and loading up items for the Albany and Portland Swap meets.

He was a talented craftsman, designing and building his own home.

He loved the tranquility of a day on the bay in his drift boat, chasing the steelhead.

He was an avid fan of NBHS Bulldog and Oregon Duck football.

His favorite family trips were to Disneyland, Disney World and the Holy Lands.

He quietly donated his time and resources countless times over the years, preferring to avoid any recognition for his generosity. A loving husband, father, grandpa, and brother who will be greatly missed.

Oregon’s U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley released the following statement after Senate Republicans voted down Merkley’s bill to publicly release all les relating to the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein and his associates:

“What do Senate Republicans have to hide?

After promising transparency for the American people, accountability for individuals involved with Epstein, and justice for all victims harmed, Senate Majority Leader Thune and Senate Republicans all bent the knee to Donald Trump and opposed my bill to release the Epstein Files.

“Jeffrey Epstein’s victims and the American people deserve the truth about Epstein and his horri c crimes. As long as

Congressional Republicans continue to side with the rich and the powerful over justice, I’ll ght to pass my bill to shine a light on the truth surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and those connected to him.”

Tonight’s vote was a result of Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) ling an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act identical to Merkley’s Epstein Files Transparency Act. Merkley introduced the bill with New Mexico’s U.S. Senator Ben Ray Luján and 24 other Senators— including Leader Schumer—to require the U.S. Department of Justice to release all the Epstein Files within 30 days of passage.

The bill also includes strong protections to

redact appropriate information to protect victims’ privacy and national security, while explicitly prohibiting redactions based on reputational harm or political sensitivity.
