Sign furor over

The furor over the future of the iconic “Made in Oregon” sign atop the White Stag building should now be put to rest following City Commissioner Randy Leonard’s announcement at Wednesday’s city council meeting that an agreement has been reached with the University of Oregon. The sign will read “Oregon” and the UO has permission to paint a large “O” on a nearby water tower. Leonard had previously sponsored an ordinance that would have given the city control over the sign by using eminent domain law. The ordinance was to be voted on at Wednesday’s meeting.
