LA GRANDE – In response to ongoing sweeping layoffs and terminations across most federal agencies, protests are being planned in some Eastern Oregon communities. According to Meg Hawks, the spouse of a local U.S. Forest Service employee, along with other local sources, who wished to remain anonymous, a layoff protest is slated to begin at noon today at La Grande City Hall, 1000 Adams Ave, La Grande. A similar protest is also planned for Baker City as well according to Hawks.
