Good morning, Lookout supporters!

Several weeks ago, we started writing and reporting our stories for today, our launch day.

Of course, the news has other plans.

That’s why five of the stories you’ll see today were written in the past 18 hours, including two late last night — after Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield and Oregon House Speaker Julie Fahey appeared at a town hall at the University of Oregon to talk to constituents about how Trump administration changes are affecting Lane County.

Also on the site today you’ll find news from Chefs’ Night Out from our food & dining correspondent, Vanessa Salvia, and columns from Bob Welch, founder Ken Doctor, and executive editor Dann Miller.

We are so excited to launch Lookout Eugene-Springfield!

Thanks for your ongoing support.
