In the spirit of Sherwood's annual Robin Hood festival, Rep. Matt Wingard rose on the Floor last April to recall the story of Robin Hood, who was outlawed for poaching deer in the royal forest. Because the killing of the king's deer was considered treason, the fine was punishable by death.

 

Rep. Wingard spoke about Robin Hood during the debate on HB 3089, which imposes large fines for poaching in Oregon. Rep. Wingard represents Sherwood, whose Robin Hood Festival kicks off on July 17.
