The U.S. Department of Labor hauled Pamplin—the former owner of the Forest Grove News-Times—back into U.S. District Court in Portland, alleging he had failed to comply with two key conditions of the agreement he signed in December to settle a federal civil lawsuit against him.
The move comes after labor officials found Pamplin, who owned the Forest Grove News-Times until last June, violated federal pension laws in his management of retirees’ money.
