In Oregon the LA is OBRA. OBRA considers it's function, and indeed its reason for existence, to support racing in Oregon at all levels. They have paired up with USCycling/UCI when they have felt that was consistent with their mission but have always been willing to step away when they felt it was not. I don't race so I cannot say where they are now but I think they/USCycling are currently in sync.
They have at times been a thorn in the USCycling side; a very healthy local association with a strong racing scene that wouldn't toe any lines that didn't serve their races and riders. I know the Cascade Classic which should be on of America's great races has suffered from the lack of unity and sponsorship uncertainty this has created.
