BREAKING NEWS: We’ve secured a $7 million settlement holding the largest U.S. landlord accountable for a price fixing scheme – and putting a check on the rising cost of rentals. #consumerprotection #orpol
AG Rayfield announces $7 million settlement with largest U.S. landlord over price fixing scheme

ALT AG Rayfield announces $7 million settlement with largest U.S. landlord over price fixing scheme

AG Rayfield and a bipartisan coalition have filed a proposed $7 million settlement to resolve claims against Greystar Management Services LLC, as part of the coalition’s ongoing enforcement efforts targeting price fixing involving housing rental prices across the country.

“We’re in the middle of a housing crisis, and families are already stretched to their limits. When the largest landlord in America uses an algorithm to price fix the rent, the result is simple: people pay more. It squeezes working families when the cost of housing is already at an all-time high. This settlement holds the largest U.S. landlord accountable. It’s a win for Oregonians, our pocketbooks, and the rule of law.”

Oregon lawmakers should use the revenue surplus to make sure all Oregonians get a #fairshot next session. #orleg
Dirk VanderHart@dirquez29 May 2024
New Oregon revenue forecast is dropping today. Economists say the state might bring in roughly $530M more this budget cycle than expected just three months ago -- and about $1.1B more in general fund resources than expected when lawmakers passed a budget last year. #orleg

Oregon’s public defense system is overwhelmed. #orleg: Don’t waste more tax dollars on a broken criminal system when people struggling with addiction are desperate to find treatment. #NOrecriminalization #orpol
Destructive. Harmful. Cruel. Criminalizing addiction harms Oregonians, solves nothing. The Legislature is proposing to overwhelm public defense systems. Nobody wants that.

Oregon has some of the worst arrest disparities in the country and a public defense system in crisis. By making addiction a crime, HB 4002 adds thousands more people to caseloads. People struggling with addiction need access to detox and treatment services – not HB 4002. #orleg

This afternoon lawmakers hold their first – and perhaps only – hearing on HB 4002. Instead of rushing to criminalize people for addiction, #orleg should deliver the treatment services Oregonians have been deprived of for decades. That's a solution. #orpol streetroots.org/news/2024/02…
