COMMUNITY NEWS
- ➤ On Monday, local volunteers — including 12 Edward Jones administrative staff — gave the Josephine Community Library a facelift with fresh mulch, tree trimming and new plantings to improve the grounds for summer visitors. Organizers Rebecca Stolz and Brandice Roio led the effort to show how community and local businesses can support public spaces. The Grants Pass Tribune
ACCIDENTS NEWS

FINANCE NEWS
- ➤ Tax season ended and local residents are now getting an average refund near $3,000, IRS data shows. Many in Jackson, Josephine, and Douglas counties who filed electronically and used direct deposit got their money within three weeks — paper filers may wait longer. The Grants Pass Tribune
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ After county commissioners ended the library's lease on January 6, staff and patrons have faced growing uncertainty, and Friends of the Library will launch Eviction Watch on Thursday, June 5—marking the start of a 210-day countdown until the county can legally evict the library. The Grants Pass Tribune
- ➤ The Oregon House passed HB 3582 which gives child sexual abuse and sexual assault survivors unlimited time to sue their abusers or institutions that enabled the abuse—current law required survivors to file by age 40 or within five years of connecting the abuse to their harm. The bill does not apply to past cases and now heads to the state Senate for further review. KDRV
