Hood River County DA Says Additional Staff Needed

With an increase in DUII cases increasing the workload for the Hood River County District Attorney’s Office, D.A. Carrie Rasmussen is advocating for adding staff.  Rasmussen says they desperately need a discovery clerk, something she adds most counties have to get body camera coverage to defense attorneys in a timely manner.  In addition. Rasmussen says her office needs a new prosecutor’s position and more support in victims’ assistance.  Hood River County’s District Attorney’s office currently employs two deputy district attorneys and four staff members.  By comparison, Wasco County has three deputy D.A.’s and seven other staffers.
