” it is limited to 28 days — 14d +14d”

Perhaps.

But the point of contention will be just how many 14d extensions the governor may have.

That part of the statute is not clear, as it does not proscribe extensions beyond 28 days, and does not specifically refer the governor to the legislature after that 28 days.

I wonder if the OR legislature has interceded..,?

Seeing as the governor did not issue her edicts in 14 day increments, she is still in violation.

And even though that section doesn’t mention legislative approval, the other emergency statute she cites in her orders does, as does the 10A clause of the state constitution.

Brown does not get to pick and choose which sections of the statutes and constitution she follows. She could have actually bothered to conform to the law, just like she expects us to conform to her edicts.

She’s a scofflaw.

I wonder if the OR legislature has interceded..,? They have not. They have not been in session since the emergency began.

The Governor has been having a very hard time with the legislature. The Dems have a sizable majority, so the GOP has taken to boycotting as a group to prevent quorum.

You have said a repeatedly on this thread that the statue is vague. I don't find it to be at all vague, and neither did the judge. Here's what it says:

433.441 Proclamation of public health emergency.
(5) A proclamation of a state of public health emergency expires when terminated by a declaration of the Governor or no more than 14 days after the date the public health emergency is proclaimed unless the Governor expressly extends the proclamation for an additional 14-day period.

If I tell you that you may have a cookie, and if you are still hungry after you have one, that you may then have "an additional cookie" - can you eat the whole bag?

Or, are you referring to some other part of the code?

Did you read the judges ruling?
