In his weekly newsletter to constituents, Oregon state representative Dennis Richardson grouped last week's Virginia Tech shootings and the Oregon legislature's passage of pro-gay acts under the heading of tragic events.

Two Oregon house bills received senate attention last week, with an antidiscrimination bill being pushed through to the governor's desk and a domestic-partnership bill being put under review.

Richardson wrote that the antidiscrimination bill is broad and has "uncertain definition."
