Trial Day Three – Economic Testimony and Oregon’s Defense Begins
NAW continued direct examination of Dr. Douglas Thomas on interstate commerce implications, fee unpredictability, and supply chain optimization. NAW called a final witness before Oregon called its first defense witness.
Trial Day Two – Practical Compliance Burdens
NAW concluded direct examination of Cory Rodriguez and called four new witnesses including James Winkle. Testimony focused on producer identification challenges, packaging design, fee calculation, and regional distribution network impacts. Rodriguez estimated 1,000 hours spent on compliance system development.
The trial exposes how Oregon’s EPR law forces out-of-state wholesalers into massive compliance expenditures, fueling a constitutional challenge that could reshape state environmental authority.
