Description

Oregon U.S. Senator Ron Wyden was on the Central Coast Thursday.  The Democrat toured the hangar facility for the U.S. Coast Guard at the Newport Municipal Airport.  Last Fall, the USCG relocated the helicopter back to North Bend without warning.  There were rumors that ICE wanted the facility at the Airport, but that was never confirmed.  Last November, the Newport Fisherman’s Wives and Lincoln Co. sued the DHS over the relocation, and a federal judge issued a temporary order keeping the helo at Newport.  That was later extended by the Coast Guard.  Wyden promised to continue to be a Watchdog to ensure the rescue helicopter remains in Newport.
