Letter to Sen. Johnson Supporting SB414 - Small Business Needs Protection Beyond Environmental Claims

Here is the letter that I just sent to Senator Betsy Johnson urging her to support SB414, which has a work session scheduled for today.  In it I describe the experience of my client Anderson Brothers, Inc. with its attempt to get its insurance company to help defend it against an environmental claim, and explain that although the SB814 amendment to the OECAA was great work, most coverage problems faced by small business are not covered by the OECAA, and that SB414 would therefore help level the tremendously un-level playing field in Oregon.
