Tax-free

Rebecca Tweed, Bueh-
ler’s campaign manager,
was
dismissive
of
Brown’s announcement.
“Under Kate Brown,
Oregonians can expect
more of the same — failed
leadership,
failing
schools, and an endless
cycle of chaos, corruption
and incompetence in and
around state government.
Knute Buehler will bring
the
change
Oregon
needs,” Tweed said in an
email.
Oregon’s high school
graduation rate is ranked
48th in the nation. Stu-
dent-teacher ratios are of-
ten
disproportionately
large. A ballot measure
that would have helped by
increasing business tax-
es, with revenue ear-
marked for education,
health care, and senior
citizens services, was re-
jected by voters last No-
vember.
Brown, who held the
state’s
second-highest
elected office, secretary
of state, became governor
in 2015 when then Gov.
John Kitzhaber, a Demo-
crat, resigned amid an in-
fluence-peddling inquiry.
She then ran in 2016 to fill
the remaining two years
of Kitzhaber’s term, beat-
ing Bud Pierce, the Re-
publican nominee and Sa-
lem oncologist.
She now again finds
herself seeking support.
Since Trump was elect-
ed, Brown and several
other Democratic gover-
nors have joined forces to
oppose White House posi-
tions on immigration,
health care, and a threat-
ened federal crackdown
on marijuana in states
where it’s legal — includ-
ing Oregon.
The last Republican
governor in heavily Dem-
ocratic Oregon was Victor
Atiyeh, who served from
1979 to 1987.

Oregon Gov. Kate
Brown officially an-
nounced her long-antici-
pated bid for re-election
on Sept. 25, casting her-
self as a liberal counter-
weight to President Don-
ald Trump.
Brown made the an-
nouncement via a state-
ment, social media and a
YouTube video .
A montage of images —
a placard saying “make
America hate again,” a
street protest in Washing-
ton, Trump, smokestacks
spewing pollution —
kicked off the video with
an ominous soundtrack. It
then showed picturesque
images of Oregon’s coun-
tryside and of Portland,
accompanied by gentle
chords on a piano.
“As your governor, it’s
my job to make things bet-
ter, to stand up to anyone
who would take our rights
away,” the Democratic
governor said.
Since taking office in in
2015, Brown has shored
up protections for immi-
grants in Oregon who are
in the U.S. illegally, suc-
cessfully pushed for the
phasing out of coal-gener-
ated power and last month
signed into law a bill ex-
panding coverage on
abortions and other repro-
ductive services.
Her campaign has
raised at least $1.25 mil-
lion in cash from more
than 10,000 contributions
since Jan. 1.
Knute Buehler, a Re-
publican state lawmaker
and orthopedic surgeon
from Bend, is running for
the GOP nomination for
governor. He has raised at
least $1.13 million since
April 3, the day he an-
nounced his candidacy,
from at least 2,887 contri-
butions.

EUGENE - Some Ore-
gon activists are pushing
for the state to implement
a system that would allow
voter signatures to be
gathered electronically
for initiative petitions.
A grass-roots effort is
calling for petitions to be
signed online so more ini-
tiatives can bypass the
Legislature and go direct-
ly before voters, The Reg-
ister-Guard reported on
Sept. 27.
Under the current ini-
tiative process, backers
of proposed public poli-
cies are required to col-
lect a set number of phys-
ical signatures with pen
and paper in order to get a
measure qualified for the
ballot. Many successful
initiatives typically in-
volve financial backing to
pay for people to gather
signatures.
Of the 415 initiative
petitions filed since No-
vember 2006, 27 have
qualified to go before vot-
ers.
David Carlson, the
chief petitioner for the
proposal, said a system
that allows online signing
would enable more initia-
tives without major finan-
cial backing to qualify. It
would also make the proc-
ess more convenient for
voters, he said.
“We live in 2017. The in-
ternet is available and ac-
cessible to almost all Ore-
gonians,” Carlson said.
“People do everything on-
line.”
Under the proposal,
voters would sign pet-
itions on a state website
administered by the sec-
retary of state. Voters’
identities would be veri-
fied though a Social Secu-
rity number or an Oregon
driver’s license number.
Our Oregon, the advo-
cacy group backed by
public employee unions,
has opposed the proposal
and filed challenges to the
attorney general and the
Oregon Supreme Court.
Our Oregon spokes-
woman Katherine Dries-
sen said that the proposal
is not the right way to up-
date the system and that
it’s problematic to have
the partisan secretary of
state administer it.
Carlson said that from
a meeting he had with of-
ficials from the group,
they expressed concerns
that the proposal would
make it easier for conser-
vative backed initiatives
to qualify for the ballot.
“If a lot of these (right-
wing) causes got on the
ballot, they’d lose by 10 or
15 (percentage) points,”
Carlson said. “We have a
fairly informed, more lib-
eral voter base here.”

first-time distracted driv-
ing offense not contribut-
ing to a crash face a pre-
sumptive fine of $260,
with a maximum fine of
$1,000. Starting on Jan. 1,
the court may suspend the
fine for first-time offend-
ers if the driver com-
pletes an approved dis-
tracted driving avoidance
course
within
four
months.
Although the fine
would be suspended, the
violation would still re-
main on the offender's
driving record.
A second-time offense
or one involving a crash
carries a presumptive
fine of $435 and a maxi-
mum fine of $2,500.
Committing a third dis-
tracted driving offense in
a 10-year span is consid-
ered a misdemeanor. The
minimum fine is $2,000,
but repeat offenders
could face a $6,250 fine
and up to one year in jail.

Deer
Continued from Page 1A
vested meat be given to a
local food bank or charita-
ble organization, at the
city’s expense. And it stip-
ulates that eradication ef-
forts stop once an urban
deer population is at “a
level that no longer con-
stitutes a public nui-
sance.”
It’s too early for Silver-
ton to participate in the pi-
lot program, but several
residents have already
asked its leaders to do so.
One of them is Josiah
Kelley, who testified be-
fore the council last
month that a deer at-
tacked and injured his dog
and charged him and his
wife. When deer lose their
natural fear of humans,
they can occasionally be-
come aggressive, espe-
cially during mating sea-
sons and when fawns have
just been born, biologists
said.
“I don’t feel it’s safe for
my kids to go out in my
backyard,” Kelley said.
With the exception of
Councilors Laurie Carter
and Jason Freilinger, who
oppose taking deer in the
city limits, Silverton’s
councilors have said little
in public about the state’s
new program. Carter
urged residents to build
fences to protect them-
selves and their property
instead. She is an avid gar-
dener who expects to lose
some of her roses to deer
each year.
“Having deer in our
town is part of what
makes small-town life in
Silverton precious,” she
said. “I know a lot of peo-
ple think deer are like
rats. I think they’re beau-
tiful. I love watching
them.”
So far, councilors have
worked together to stop
residents from feeding
deer on purpose. Starting
at a Sept. 18 work session,
they began considering a
new ordinance prohibit-
ing the intentional feed-
ing of deer. Having such a
law on the books is also
one of the requirements
for cities that want to par-
ticipate in the nuisance
deer pilot program.
