Good morning, Grants Pass. Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 14th of May.

- ➤ Drivers in Grants Pass pay nearly $4.41 per gallon as the switch to summer-blend gasoline, scheduled refinery maintenance, high transportation costs, and few competing stations combine to raise prices—stretching local budgets. This mix of factors leaves residents facing higher fuel expenses every time they fill up. The Grants Pass Tribune
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ Grants Pass will hold a listening and learning session Monday, May 19 at 6 p.m. at the Council Chambers of City Hall* to discuss Oregon’s House Bill 3115 that sets objectively reasonable restrictions on public camping.

- ➤ A coalition called Pathways to Stability is working with the city to end sanctioned homeless encampments by proposing a one-stop stabilization center that provides long-term support—official agreements may be finalized in the coming months. The group said its new model aims to shift from temporary shelters to solutions that help people gain independence. KDRV
- ➤ Residents in Oregon are saying the justice system protects the powerful instead of shielding the innocent. In Josephine County, critics point to dismissed ethics complaints (such as one against Commissioner John West) and selective firings after whistleblower actions as reasons they demand reform. The Grants Pass Tribune
- ➤ Commissioner Chris Barnett said he is a victim of lawfare when legal actions do not favor him, but local critics argue he often uses the law to protect himself+ a recent case showed the courts holding him accountable for his actions. The debate now focuses on whether his claims of unfair treatment distract from his own use of legal shields. The Grants Pass Tribune
