The air that children breathe now can cause problems for years to come. Don’t let them play outside. It’s also a good idea to suspend your exercise routine until the smoke clears. If you can stay indoors do so with doors, windows and fireplace dampers shut and preferably with clean air circulating through air conditioners and air cleaners. Keep the air inside as clean as you can. Use air conditioners on the recirculation setting to keep from pulling outside air into the room.

It sends a message that basically we are going to honor the Second Amendment. “That’s what we swore to do,” he added, “to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Oregon.” However, a public records request from the Illinois Valley News revealed that, in taking the Oath of Office as county commissioner, DeYoung crossed out certain words that are standard in the oath. The standard text reads, “I, [insert name], do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States of America and the Constitution of the State of Oregon and the laws However, IP43 will not be on the state ballot in November, as court challenges to its language did not leave enough time to collect the necessary number of signatures.

N95 mask University Law School professor Paul Diller, who specializes in legal structures that constrain or empower local policymaking, gave his opinion on whether or not a county ordinance can contravene state law. “If the state law is clear that it intends to apply throughout the state, then the state has the authority to trump an ordinance enacted by the county. And the general presumption is that a state law intends to apply throughout the state.” Diller added that, generally, legal standing to test an ordinance in court would depend upon whom the ordinance applied to. But in the case of this ordinance, which stipulates a lack of action as opposed to an affirmative action, unless there’s a private party who feels that they are at risk from a specific person, it would be up to the Oregon district attorney and state Department of Justice to step in and sue the county. However, Diller did clarify that, in his opinion, the ordinance would not contravene Oregon Senate Bill 719, signed into law this year. That bill allows law enforcement to take guns away from someone who presents imminent risk, or risk in the foreseeable future, of suicide or causing injury to other persons. 0235
