Our keynote speaker will be U.S. Magistrate Judge, the Honorable Mustafa Kasubhai. Appointed to the federal bench in 2018, Judge Kasubhai is the first Muslim to serve as a federal judge in the United States. Prior to his current role, he served as an Oregon State Circuit Court Judge, was a Board Member of the Oregon Workers’ Compensation Board, and practiced law in private practice. He graduated from the University of Oregon School of Law and earned his Bachelor of Science degree from UC Berkeley.

Should Lane County Revise its Charter?

Watch this video and be informed.
Lane County government operates under a home rule charter approved by voters in 1962. In 2010, Lane County voters approved an amendment to the Charter directing the Board of Commissioners to convene a Charter Review Committee (CRC) for the purpose of reviewing and recommending changes or updates to the existing charter every 10 years.

This November, Lane County voters will have the opportunity to vote on four proposed changes to the Charter – three put forth by the CRC to repeal certain sections of the Charter, and a fourth proposed by one of our panelists, Stanton Long, regarding redistricting of the Lane County Commission.
