EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — A federal judge and a retired state judge are trying to settle a lawsuit over whether Lane County commissioners violated Oregon public meetings law.
The Register-Guard reports that U.S. District Judge Michael Hogan and retired Lane County Circuit Judge Lyle Velure are scheduled to meet with all parties in the lawsuit filed by former commissioner Eleanor "Ellie" Dumdi and retired Eugene business owner Ed Anderson.
In a ruling that drew statewide attention, a judge decided in January that Commissioners Rob Handy and Pete Sorenson willfully violated state law by meeting privately with a board majority to line up votes to add five positions to the budget late in 2009.
The judge also found board Chairman Faye Stewart and former Commissioner Bill Dwyer in violation.
