Description

New federal reports project Social Security won't be able to pay full retirement benefits after 2032 and Medicare's hospital trust fund will fall short the following year. The findings carry particular weight in Oregon, where an aging population means more residents rely on Social Security and Medicare than ever before.

The financial clock is ticking for two programs that touch the lives of nearly a million Oregonians.

K9 Katie update: During my last release, I read some of the comments about K9 Katie continuing to work if she has the energy and drive. It was a hard decision for us to retire Katie due to her hard work and success. A couple things factored into this. One was because she would tire easy and it would take longer to do the sniffs. However, the biggest factor was quality of life for K9 Katie. K9 Katie works really hard, but due to her age gets injured easier. No injuries yet that required vet visits, but plenty of little ones. We love K9 Katie and want her to be comfortable in retirement. I am told she is happy in the home and has plenty of toys to occupy her, but it’s the information below I am happy to report on. On Saturday morning, hours before her little brother and the newest drug certified K9 in County was certified to take over, K9 Katie was called to action. Oregon State Police developed information on a car inbound to Coos County with controlled substances. Coos Bay Police Department located the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop. K9 Katie and Parole and Probation Officer McKenzie Davis was called to assist. After a positive alert on the vehicle, the officers on scene were able to seize a sizable amount of controlled substances. I personally couldn’t think of a better send off for K9 Katie. After this bust, K9 Katie officially retires and her little brother Tex has taken over. I will post pictures and information on Tex here soon. Sgt. A. Whittenburg
