Mass exodus do to new reporting law

Statesman journal

A recent adoption of An Oregon ethics law house bill 2595 which was signed into law a July 31 requiring a statement of economic interest to be filed with the Oregon government ethics commission by public officials has resulted in as many as 100 members of various commissions and governments statewide to resign their positions.

In Elgin, the entire planning commission walked out, Umatilla saw two planning commissioners and one city councilor leave, and Irrigon saw its mayor, a city councilor and three planning commission members depart. Enterprise and Maupin saw the majority of their planning commission members resign.

Items which are to be included in the report include the name of businesses in which a interest is held,
sources of income only, not the amount
Names of relatives only
... just to name a few.
I will admit that it does seem rather extreme… However, so is having a large number of people resign their positions in protest.
