The troop build-up has begun, allies are mobilizing, and supplies are being stockpiled. We're going into Oregon folks!!
Two local industry members and I met with a lobbyist group yesterday to approach the subject of introducing commercial bail bonds to Oregon after 30+ years of exclusion. The last attempt was in the mid '90's. We have solicited the support of a couple of the largest surety companies in the country as well as the American Bail Coalition and have been offered whatever resources and personnel we need to move forward with this. We are hoping to build support among the legislators over the next 6 months and craft a bill that will be introduced in the legislative session next year.
Of course one of our biggest arguments will include the difficulty in recovering defendants in Oregon so if we can make this happen, that will leave one less state for folks to try to hide in.
Any support in this endeavor will be much appreciated and I will of course keep everyone posted on the progress we're making. Onward to victory!!
