Oregon voters overwhelmingly approved limiting campaign contributions in 2020. Four years later, the Legislature finally adopted limits, but an advocate for tighter controls says recent changes render Oregon’s contribution limits “illusory.”

Any #Attorneys or private insurance adjusters in the #Cincinnati Butler County, #Ohio area. My brother is seeking someone. #law

One night in December while my brother and his wife was watching TV, a truck and a car collided on the road, the truck struck his car, which was parked in his driveway some distance from the road, and pushed it through corner of the garage

His homeowners insurance told him to take it up with the "at fault" drivers #insurance, although they sent someone out to do an emergency "plywood" repair to his garage which he got a $2500 bill for. Same for his auto insurance. The at-fault driver's insurance, Geico, told him to take it up with his insurance companies and they would deal with reimbursing the other insurance companies.

Meanwhile, my brother has severe property damage, his auto, that was parked, is totaled, he is paying out of pocket to rent a vehicle, both him and his wife are nervous wrecks, afraid to be outside where it happened and living on pins and needles it will happen again, etc.

Insult Kicker... Because my brother submitted a claim to his auto insurance, they already raised his rates almost $200 per year because of the "watching tv on your couch at 10pm at night while parked in your driveway accident" he was involved in.

#Switzerland says attack on #Iran constitutes a violation of #InternationalLaw

Swiss Defense Minister Martin Pfister, one of Switzerland’s federal council members, said the govt believes the attack on Iran constitutes a violation of international law.

The #US & #Israel — as well as Iran for its counter attacks — broke international law’s prohibition on the #UseOfForce, Pfister said in comments to SonntagsZeitung that were published Sunday.

The #Gulf nations of #Bahrain, #Kuwait & the #UAE, reported additional missiles launched by #Iran toward them on Sunday, including several that hit new categories of #civilian #infrastructure.

Pirhoussein Koulivand, head of Iran’s Red Crescent Society, said 65 #schools & 32 #medical facilities, #hospitals & pharmacies have been targeted in the #war. They are part of the almost 10,000 civilian sites that Red Crescent claimed earlier Sunday had been damaged in Iran.

#Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said a #US airstrike damaged an Iranian desalination plant on Qeshm Island, warning that in doing so “the US set this precedent, not Iran.” Such infrastructure is critical for #DrinkingWater supplies in the parched #deserts of the #Gulf.

#Trump & #Netanyahu vowed to press ahead with the 9-day-old #war, which has rippled across the region & appears to have no end in sight.
