Here is the latest Oregon news from The Associated Press
SALEM, Ore. (AP) – The Oregon technology manager who leaked former Gov. John Kitzhaber’s emails to a reporter will not face criminal charges. The district attorneys of Marion and Yamhill counties say that they believe Michael Rodgers broke the law, but “justice would not be served” by charging him. Rodgers gave Willamette Week 6,000 emails that Kitzhaber had sought to delete from state servers.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – The number of homeless people in Multnomah County has remained about the same over the past two years. A report that comes out every other year identified 1,887 people living on county streets. That’s an eight-person decrease from 2013. Though the total number of homeless was little changed, the survey found sharp increases in the number of African-Americans, women and families with children living without shelter.
SALEM, Ore. (AP) – Oregon State Police say a 62-year-old Detroit, Oregon, man found unconscious near a boat ramp at a lake park in eastern Marion County was declared dead a short time later. Authorities say no foul play is suspected in the death of Richard Posekany Jr. at Mongold Day Use Park on Detroit Lake.
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) – A spokesman for software security firm Symantec says it is cutting 175 customer support jobs at its facility in Springfield. The spokesman tells The Register-Guard that workers were notified Tuesday. The reduction won’t take effect until September. The cuts in Springfield reportedly are part of a major restructuring that the Mountain View, California-based company announced last fall.
