3A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2016 Pedestrian fatally struck while walking on highway Man was walking in distress at night By NATALIE ST. JOHN EO Media Group CHINOOK, Wash. — A 55-year-old man died late Fri- day when a vehicle struck him on U.S. Highway 101 east of Chinook, near the historic McGowan church. Gary Michael Mauro was walking on the highway near milepost 2 when the collision occurred at about 11:15 p.m. on Friday night, according to a Washington State Patrol press memo. Sgt. Charles Stewart, who is assigned to the WSP Hoquiam Detachment, said he and another trooper spoke with the victim earlier in the evening, when they encountered him walking along the highway in a state of distress. “At that time, he had a friend that was following him in a pickup, and he was walk- ing on the shoulder on 101,” Stewart said. “From the sound of talking to both of them, the pedestrian had gotten in a ight with his wife at some point, and walked away from the house. The gentleman that was following him was a little con- cerned for him.” The troop- ers and the friend persuaded Mauro to get back inside the truck, and the friend offered to take the man somewhere to cool off, Stewart said. How- ever, roughly 15 to 20 min- Mauro had apparently gotten in a fight with his wife at some point, and walked away from the house. utes later, dispatchers sent out a second report of the same man in the road. Stewart, who was still in the area, turned around and headed back to talk with Mauro again. He arrived at the spot where the Mauro had been walking just a few minutes later, and immediately knew that something had happened. “As soon as I pulled up, I could see that multiple vehicles were pulled up in the roadway,” Stewart said. A moment later, dispatchers alerted him of a car versus pedestrian collision. According to state patrol, Jose Salinas, 60, of Chinook, and his passenger, Maria Del Carmen, 44, of Chinook, were headed north on Highway 101 in a 2007 Chrysler minivan. The incident is still under investi- gation, but it appears that the front, right portion of the min- ivan struck Mauro, who was wearing black pants and a black shirt. The impact pushed him Battle over Measure 97 hits the airwaves First radio ads on corporate tax hike By PARIS ACHEN Capital Bureau The battle over the merits of a proposed corporate sales tax measure on the November ballot moved to the airwaves Monday, as the Yes on 97 cam- paign unleashed its irst radio ad. The ad emerged one day before the No on 97 campaign was scheduled to debut its irst radio slot. Measure 97, advanced by union-backed Our Oregon, levies a 2.5 percent tax on certain corporations’ annual Oregon sales exceeding $25 million. “Oregon has a numbers problem,” the Yes on 97 ad begins. The ad cites federal ig- ures showing the state has the nation’s fourth lowest high school graduation rate, 383,000 residents without health insurance, and one in 10 seniors living in poverty. In the ad, the campaign blames the list of problems on Oregon’s low corporate tax rate. The campaign cites a study by Michigan-based Anderson Economic Group showing the state has the lowest “business tax burden” in the nation. The international research and consulting irm in May ranked Oregon as having the lowest business tax bur- ‘Every business — 100 percent — will be affected. If they use electricity, have phones, buy insurance, buy office supplies … they will feel the effects of Measure 97 in higher prices.’ Pat McCormick spokesman for Defeat the Tax on Oregon Sales den. “Business tax burden” was deined as total state and local taxes a business paid as a share of pretax earnings and excluded sales taxes paid by consumers. “They repeatedly claim ‘Oregon’s corporate taxes are lowest in the nation,’” said Pat McCormick, a spokesman for Defeat the Tax on Oregon Sales. “That’s false. Even the AEG study that proponents reference ranks Oregon 19th in corporate taxes. They mis- leadingly try to confuse total business taxes with corporate taxes.” “General sales taxes account for about 20 percent of the average state’s taxation of businesses, and the absence of a general sales tax drops Ore- gon’s ranking in their method- ology,” McCormick said of the AEG study. The Legislative Revenue Ofice estimates that consum- ers will pay for at least half of the $3 billion annual tax increase under Measure 97 in the form of higher prices and slower job growth. The Yes on 97 ad claims the tax measure “ixes” the prob- lem of low corporate taxes. Less than 1 percent of Oregon businesses are affected, the ad says. McCormick said that claim also is false. “Every business — 100 percent — will be affected,” he said. “If they use electric- ity, have phones, buy insur- ance, buy ofice supplies, buy products or services affected by suppliers, they will feel the cards , letters and flowers . for all the (2) (-) (-) (6) (-) (8) (9) (10) (12) (13) (-) (20) (-) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) L KATU KOMO KING KOIN KIRO KGW KRCW KOPB KPTV KPDX KCPQ TBS KZJO ESPN ESPN2 NICK DISN FAM FMC LIFE ROOT FS1 SPIKE COM HIST A&E TLC DISC NGEO TNT AMC USA FOOD HGTV FX CNN FNC CNBC BRAV TCM SYFY RFD (2) (4) (5) (-) (7) (-) (3) (10) (12) (-) (13) (20) (22) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) 6 PM The Daily Astorian The Seaside cross coun- try team was competing with the big schools again over the weekend, and scoring big, as always.

Mauro was a private con- tractor who spent much of his professional life provid- ing auxiliary services to the military. He was featured in a February Chinook Observer article, when he and a neigh- bor raised concerns about the management practices and living conditions at an RV park near his home. He and his wife, Paula Mauro, had previously lived in Clatsop County. They purchased their home in Megler in early 2015. During a February interview, Mauro spoke passionately about his pride in his family, his deep Christian faith, and his interest in getting involved in local politics.

Proponents of the tax measure have raised more than $2 million, according to the Secretary of State’s Ofice. Voters can expect to see more advertisements for and against the measure in coming weeks. Opponents of the mea- sure plan to launch their irst television ad later this month. They face a deicit of public support, according to polling on the measure. Two surveys in the past week indicate that about 60 percent of registered voters favor the measure, though in one survey by icitizen, support eroded after supporters heard arguments about how the tax would work. Both surveys by Portland-based DHM Research and icitizen found that most vot- ers think corporations should pay more taxes.

Salinas and Del Carmen were both wearing seat belts, according to the report. Del Carmen sustained cuts and abrasions on her face from lying glass. Salinas did not appear to be injured, but both were taken by ambulance to Columbia Memorial Hospital in Astoria. In addition to state patrol, the Paciic County Coroner’s Ofice, Chinook Fire Depart- ment and Medix ambulance company responded to the incident. The state patrol report said the response and subse- quent death scene investigation partially blocked the road for four hours.
