Page 11 Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, Ore. Wednesday, April 21, 2010 Bill Sizemore now free to raise funds for his gubernatorial campaign By SCOTT JORGENSEN IVN Staff Writer Although some of his rivals for the Republican nomination for governor have raised substantial amounts of money, Bill Sizemore is no longer prohibited from doing the same. On Friday, April 9, Mult- nomah County Judge Janice Wilson ruled that Sizemore’s campaign committee is not covered by a previous court injunction banning him from raising money for political purposes. Sizemore has spent the last few years battling the state’s public employee un- ions in court. Those legal disputes have stemmed from Sizemore’s sponsorship of various ballot measures aimed at limiting the unions’ influence on public officials. During a Saturday, April 10 telephone interview, Sizemore praised the ruling, but that it still has limitations. “It only applies to candi- date committees,” Sizemore said. “But it completely frees me to raise and spend money in the governor’s race.” Gubernatorial hopefuls Chris Dudley and former Gov. John Kitzhaber, a De- mocrat, both have surpassed the $1 million fund-raising mark. Sizemore acknowl- edges that he has a steep hill to climb to compete with those candidates. “It will be a challenge at this late date to find money and put money in. I will do my best to do that,” he said. “My hands have been tied behind my back this entire campaign thus far.” Despite the financial limitations, Sizemore said that he still has been hitting the campaign trail hard throughout the state. “I’ve been debating and giving speeches almost every day,” Sizemore said. In recent weeks, he has spoken to Republican groups in Multnomah, Yamhill and Clackamas counties. He also addressed crowds at Tea Party gatherings in Grants Pass, Klamath Falls, Bend and Redmond. Sizemore still has plenty of court appearances ahead. He has a hearing scheduled for June regarding the $12 million defamation lawsuit he filed against various public employee unions. “That will be the one where the judge will wrap it up and hopefully make a de- cision to go ahead with dis- covery,” Sizemore said. “The unions already lost this round, but legal fees are no issue for them. They will continue to stall and delay.” Also pending is a multi- million dollar lawsuit against Sizemore and one of his fre- quent donors. Sizemore also is facing multiple charges of contempt of court. Advertising in the Illinois Valley News is the best buy for your buck Reach more potential customers for less!

NOTICE TO RESIDEN- TIAL TENANTS The property in which you are living is in foreclosure. A foreclosure sale is sched- uled for 8/19/2010. Unless the lender who is fore- closing on this property is paid, the foreclosure will go through and someone new will own this prop- erty. The following information applies to you only if you occupy and rent this property as a residen- tial dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The information does not apply to you if you own this property or if you are not a residential tenant. If the foreclosure goes through, the business or individual who buys this property at the foreclo- sure sale has the right to require you to move out. The buyer must first give you an eviction notice in writing that specifies the date by which you must move out. The buyer may not give you this notice until after the foreclosure sale happens. If you do not leave before the move-out date, the buyer can have the sheriff remove you from the property after a court hearing. You will receive notice of the court hearing. FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES YOU TO BE NOTIFIED IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING THIS PROPERTY AS A RESI- DENTIAL DWELLING UNDER A LEGITIMATE RENTAL AGREEMENT, FEDERAL LAW RE- QUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU A NOTICE IN WRITING A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS BEFORE THE BUYER CAN REQUIRE YOU TO MOVE OUT. THE FEDERAL LAW THAT RE- QUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU THIS NO- TICE IS EFFECTIVE UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2012. Under federal law, the buyer must give you at least 90 days' notice in writing before requiring you to move out. If you are renting this property under a fixed-term lease (for example, a six-month or one-year lease), you may stay until the end of your lease term. If the buyer wants to move in and use this property as the buyer's primary residence, the buyer can give you written notice and require you to move out after 90 days, even if you have a fixed-term lease with more than 90 days left. STATE LAW NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS IF THE FEDERAL LAW DOES NOT APPLY, STATE LAW STILL REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU NOTICE IN WRITING BEFORE RE- QUIRING YOU TO MOVE OUT IF YOU ARE OC- CUPYING AND RENTING THE PROPERTY AS A TENANT IN GOOD FAITH. EVEN IF THE FED- ERAL LAW REQUIREMENT IS NO LONGER EFFECTIVE AFTER DECEMBER 31, 2012, THE REQUIREMENT UNDER STATE LAW STILL AP- PLIES TO YOUR SITUATION. Under state law, if you have a fixed-term lease (for example, a six- month or one-year lease), the buyer must give you at least 60 days' notice in writing before requiring you to move out. If the buyer wants to move in and use this property as the buyer's primary resi- dence, the buyer can give you written notice and require you to move out after 30 days, even if you have a fixed term lease with more than 30 days left. If you are renting under a month-to-month or week-to-week rental agreement, the buyer must give you at least 30 days' notice in writing before requiring you to move out. IMPORTANT: For the buyer to be required to give you a notice under state law, you must prove to the business or indi- vidual who is handling the foreclosure sale that you are occupying and renting this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The name and address of the busi- ness or individual who is handling the foreclosure sale is shown on this notice under the heading "TRUSTEE". You must mail or deliver your proof not later than 7/20/2010 (30 days before the date first set for the foreclosure sale). Your proof must be in writing and should be a copy of your rental agreement or lease. If you do not have a written rental agreement or lease, you can provide other proof, such as receipts for rent paid. ABOUT YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT Under state law, you may apply your security deposit and any rent you paid in advance against the current rent you owe your landlord. To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from your rent payment. You may do this only for the rent you owe your current landlord. If you do this, you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your land- lord. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out. You should contact the buyer to discuss that possibility if you would like to stay. Under state law, if the buyer accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writ- ing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the buyer becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property. Otherwise, the buyer is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf and you must move out by the date the buyer specifies in a notice to you. YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY RENT TO YOUR LANDLORD UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS SOLD TO ANOTHER BUSINESS OR INDIVIDUAL OR UNTIL A COURT OR A LENDER TELLS YOU OTHERWISE. IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT, YOU CAN BE EVICTED. AS EXPLAINED ABOVE, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO APPLY A DEPOSIT OR RENT YOU PREPAID AGAINST YOUR CUR- RENT RENT OBLIGATION. BE SURE TO KEEP PROOF OF ANY PAYMENTS YOU MAKE AND OF ANY NOTICE YOU GIVE OR RECEIVE CON- CERNING THE APPLICATION OF YOUR DE- POSIT OR PREPAID RENT. IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO TRY TO FORCE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR HOME WITHOUT FIRST GO- ING TO COURT TO EVICT YOU. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS, YOU MAY WISH TO CONSULT A LAWYER.
