Measure 79 would amend Oregon’s constitution, banning local jurisdictions from being able to create
a real estate transfer tax. We shouldn’t amend the constitution for one industry. Measure 79 would
close the door on local governments’ future options to take care of vulnerable citizens. The choice
should be made by Oregonians, not private industry.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This week, be on the lookout for stray cats. The
first two that you’ll encounter will try your patience,
but wait and follow the third to a secret garden
where you'll encounter a diamond in the rough.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) The recent
display of meteors will have you reaching for
the stars but don’t forget to appreciate the
beauty of the cracks in the sidewalk. While
you’re looking down, you may just bump into
the best friend you will ever have.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 23) The stars
But stop asking everyone to join your “All Rodents
Lead to Rome” Facebook group. It’s a bad pun, and
it will never catch on. On the other hand, you might
have something going with your “Barack Obama
was born in al-Qaeda and I have the documents to
prove it!!!” group. Pursue that angle for a while.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Immerse
yourself in a cup of coffee. Find yourself
swimming among the deep-fuzzy-new-puppy
feeling of taking a break and enjoying each
taste of it.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Change is
good. Remember that the next time you don
those threadbare briefs with the overstretched
waistband. Throw them away and buy yourself
a new pair of underwear. And don’t cheap out
this time: You deserve all the support $12 can
offer.

be sneaking into a very inappropriate position
with respect to Jupiter. Some real low-down
business going on. This alignment foretells
unfortunate spillage and the possibility of rodent
infiltration. Strawberry jam is OK, though.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) The birds migrate
and roost in a chimney. The falcons may come
out and put on a show for you; the birds may
not be as happy about it.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) This week you will
be challenged by someone you don’t know.
Take the challenge, this person will be a part of
your life forever.
