So it’s debuting a campaign titled “You called 911 for that?!” The agency promises to post a weekly “most ridiculous use” of 911. The Oregonian reports the agency kicked off the campaign this week with a call from a person who reported that his debit card wouldn’t work at a gas station. The station was closed.
CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) – Health insurance agents say some Oregonians who applied via Cover Oregon in time to secure January coverage are still without insurance.
