Jahi’s alleged disappearance.She also told jurors about a journal she found inside Jones’s apartment. On cross-examination, defense attorney Courtney Cutter had Davies read several journal entries which Jones wrote to Jahi’s mother.In more than one of those entries, Jones expresses his affection for Jahi and for his wife and talked about their future together.“He’s starting to like me a little more,” Jones wrote about Jahi. “He got scared last night, and he called my name. When you get home (from duty with the Navy) we’re going to start getting his room together. I’ve already took (sic) all his clothes and put them up in the closet.”Jones told police that Jahi disappeared from the park when Jones walked to a vending machine to buy the toddler something to drink.Jurors also heard from Jahi’s grandparents who helped raise the boy.Both said Jahi was a timid, somewhat clingy little-boy, who would have cried and tried to follow his step-father if he walked away.

Secretary of State Phil Keisling in the early 1990s. Legislators codified the hotline into law in 1995.Senate President Peter Courtney, a Salem Democrat who's served in the Legislature for decades, credited the hotline for saving $16 million. But he said it may be time to review of whether it still makes financial sense. "I'll bet most people don't know about it," Courtney said. "I bet most legislators don't know about it."When told about the hotline's recent lack of effectiveness, Keisling expressed mixed feelings."There's always risk when you do something like this," he said.When his administration started the program, he said, staff thought the hotline might eventually outlive its usefulness. But there's still value in having a way for the public and state employees to report waste, said Keisling, who now runs Portland State University's Center for Public Service."You always have the possibility of that one out of 100 that could be very material," he said. "I actually feel good that $16 million in questionable expenditures have been identified."Others point out that the hotline was never intended to save money."You really can't put a price tag on accountability," said Deb Royal, chief of staff to Dennis Richardson, the current secretary of state.Richardson didn't return a voicemail seeking comment. Jeanne Atkins, who preceded Richardson and now heads the Democratic Party of Oregon, declined to comment.Keisling and Beyer offered the same suggestion when asked how the program might be updated to improve its efficiency: Advertise the hotline more effectively to state employees. "At some point in the future, it might be time to hang up its cleats," Keisling said. "But in the near term -- particularly with people still skeptical about how well government is spending their dollars -- I think it's important to continue it.""At a minimum, it sends a signal."-- Gordon R.
