Good morning, McMinnville.

Sen. Ron Wyden met with local business leaders on Monday to learn that new tariffs have raised costs and canceled orders while companies like Sinotech and Bob's Red Mill face price hikes and potential layoffs.

He will vote next week on legislation to repeal the tariffs so local businesses can lower costs and protect jobs — a key move for the region.

A bill in the Oregon Legislature would bar state funds for testing on cats and dogs if the experiments cause them pain— it passed the Senate with a 24-3 vote and now awaits review in the House.
