Oregon is featured in recent news for several reasons. Firstly, DNA analysis identified the remains of a family missing since 1958, found in a car in the Columbia River. This brings closure to a decades-old mystery. Secondly, the new owner of the Portland Trail Blazers, Tom Dundon, is under scrutiny due to his past involvement with a company accused of predatory lending practices in Oregon and other states. Emails show his role in waiving income verification requirements for car loans. This raises ethical concerns about his leadership. These events highlight Oregon's past and present, from tragic historical events to contemporary business ethics.
