(Salem, OR)  --  A new report from the Secretary of State's Office finds Oregon's Department of Environmental Quality should make changes to better support staff, especially minorities.  State auditors say DEQ is actively working to become an anti-racist organization but suggests it adopt new principles and demonstrate a commitment to change.  It also needs to decentralize and share power.  

To address other challenges, they also suggest DEQ create communication goals and priorities to break-down silos.
