The longtime chief clerk of the Oregon House has been bounced from her post over her lobbying for a 2007 bill amendment that may have benefited her financially. The resignation comes as The Oregonian had launched an investigation into the 2007 bill and Line's role. The amendment Line lobbied for allowed a very limited group of PERS members to repurchase past service credit and retirement account balances they had previously liquidated with money rolled over from the state's deferred compensation plan. The repurchase gave Line full credit for her retirement, plus interest while she continued working. She was among a small number of PERS members who qualified under the amendment.
