Lawsuit: Oregon Sen. Jackie Winters, HOA denied bus service to child with disabilities (OR)

/ Owner - August 15, 2018

The family of a child with disabilities is suing Oregon Senate Republican Leader Jackie Winters and the Salem homeowners board on which she serves after it voted to bar the girl’s school from providing her with door-to-door bus service.  A lawsuit filed in May by Erika Hernandez and Paolo Regalado says the restriction violates federal and state fair housing laws. The parents are asking the court to direct the Golf Course Estates Homeowners Association to allow the school bus back into the subdivision and award unspecified damages and legal fees.

Winters, who was first elected to the Legislature in 1998, is running for reelection this year.      Read the article………………
