La pine’s medical pot tax expected to face lawsuit LA PINE (AP) — The City of La Pine’s tax on medical marijuana might be illegal. Attorneys representing the Oregon Legislature said in a Nov. 13 letter that a law adopted by the Legislature earlier this year prohibits local government from taxing medical pot. La Pine enacted the tax earlier this year on the two dispensaries in town. Randy Huff co-owns one of them, and says he’s been paying the City about $500 dollars a month. Huff says he plans to sue because City officials won’t provide him with a clear reason for why they are imposing a tax on medicine. La Pine City Manager Rick Allen says the council plans to review the opinion from the Office of Legislative Counsel at its meeting next month. The call is out to all artists in Sisters Country to mark their calendars for Monday, January 11, the submission date for original artwork to be displayed in the Friends of the Sisters Library (FOSL) 11th Annual Art Exhibit, which runs from January 13 through February 25. Artwork for the exhibit may be submitted at the library between 10 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Invitations with all the details have been mailed out to artists and can also be picked up at the information desk at the Sisters Library. Artists may submit two pieces of wall-hung art and five pieces of other art forms that have not been exhibited in the Annual Art Exhibit in the past three years. More than that cannot be accepted due to limited space. Secured wire hangers are required for all artwork that will be hung; no sawtooth hangers. Wall-hung art can- not exceed 30 inches by 40 inches unless space permits. Quilts and other fiber art must have a sleeve secured on the back for hanging. Larger quilts to be hung on the raf- ters cannot exceed 84 inches wide by 75 inches long. Pottery, sculpture and jew- elry will be displayed in the locked cases in the entryway. If the artwork is too large for the case, it will be dis- played on a shelf or table in the library. All artwork must be identified with labels on either the back or the bottom of the piece. Artists are also asked to bring a one-page biography that includes artist’s name, description of the submitted work, and contact informa- tion, which will go in a note- book which accompanies the show. All art pieces submit- ted must be approved by the FOSL Art Committee and remain for the entire show. Artists will be asked to sign the library’s art exhibit agree- ment and to state the value of the work. The Deschutes Public Library System will insure the artwork during the period it is in the library building. The Friends of the Sisters Library will receive a 10 per- cent commission from the artist for any artwork sold during the art exhibit, which is a fundraiser for FOSL. There will be an open- ing reception at the library on Friday, January 22, from 6 to 7:30 p.m., with hors d’oeuvres and beverages served. The public will be able to meet the artists and vote for the three People’s Choice Awards, which will be presented that evening. Voting for the awards will take place January 13-22.
