Judge Allows Oregons Lawsuit Against Former Officials and Rep. Smith to Proceed
The summary is about a circuit judge in Oregon who ruled that a lawsuit from Attorney General Dan Rayfield can move forward. The lawsuit accuses former Morrow County officials and state Representative Greg Smith of buying a local broadband company, Windwave Communications, at a low price in 2018. The case revolves around the sale of the company to the officials just before Amazon data centers increased internet demand in the area. The defendants argue they acted in good faith to keep the business local, but the state claims they downplayed the companys value and hid Amazon connections. The judge sided with the state, allowing the lawsuit to proceed, with potential damages of up to $6.9 million.
