Oregon ACS wins Round 1
Late in the day (Wednesday, November 25th), the Oregon AG went to court
asking that the judge approve the AG deal.
The Oregon ACS contested this action and convinced the judge to hold
a hearing on Monday, November 30th, about whether to continue the process
before making a final decision.
The AG argued that the state would be harmed by the delay because it
could jeapordize its claim on the attorney fee funds in the deal. (See
the letter CA ALA and Next Generation sent, which notes the "potential
to cloud judgment" that this bucket of money could create.)
Congradulations to Oregon ACS.
