GOP candidate charged with
misdemeanor assault of reporter
BOZEMAN, Mont. — Today’s nationally watched election for
Montana’s sole congressional seat got a last-minute twist when the
Republican candidate, Greg Gianforte, was charged with misde-
meanor assault for grabbing a reporter by the neck and throwing
him to the ground.
Gallatin County Sheriff Brian Gootkin made the announcement
shortly before midnight Wednesday in a written statement, about
six hours after the attack on reporter Ben Jacobs of The Guardian.
Gianforte would face a maximum $500 fine or 6 months in jail if
convicted. The statement added that Jacobs’ injuries did not meet
the legal definition of felony assault.
Gianforte was in a private office preparing for an interview with
Fox News when Jacobs came in without permission, campaign
spokesman Shane Scanlon said.
The Fox News crew watched in astonishment as, after Jacobs
pressed him on the GOP health care bill, “Gianforte grabbed Jacobs
by the neck with both hands and slammed him into the ground
behind him,” Fox News reporter Alicia Acuna wrote in an article .
She added that Gianforte then began to punch Jacobs.
In an audio recording posted by the Guardian, the reporter
asks the congressional candidate about the GOP’s health care bill,
which was just evaluated hours earlier by the Congressional Bud-
get Office.
Two more arrested in Manchester;
UK blasts US on leaks
MANCHESTER, England — British police arrested two more
people and searched a new site in Manchester suspected of links
to the concert bombing that left 22 people dead, as British author-
ities complained bitterly today about investigation leaks by U.S.
officials.
British Prime Minister Theresa May is expected to raise the
issue of the leaks with President Donald Trump in Brussels later.
British officials are particularly angry that photos detailing evi-
dence about the bomb used in the Manchester attack were pub-
lished in The New York Times.
British security and law enforcement officials were reviewing
whether other sensitive information involving the investigation
should be shared, according to one official who spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak about
the ongoing investigation.
The official added that the intelligence-sharing agreement
between Britain and the United States is built on trust and that leaks
jeopardize active investigations.
Greater Manchester Police condemned the leaks on behalf of
the National Counter-Terrorism Policing units in a statement that
suggested a severe rupture in trust between Britain and the United
States, who have traditionally shared intelligence at the highest
levels.
GOP health bill: 23M more

jecting that the House Republican health care bill would produce

voters are heading to the polls today, to decide a nation-
ally watched congressional election amid uncertainty in
Washington over President Donald Trump’s agenda and
his handling of the country’s affairs.
coverage for the seriously ill. Now Republicans in the Senate have
to decide how to make their version different.
The Congressional Budget Office report, issued Wednesday,
also found that average premiums would fall compared with Pres-
ident Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, a chief goal of many
Republicans. But that would be partly because policies would typi-
cally provide fewer benefits and sicker people would be priced out,
it concluded.
The results gave Democrats ammunition to attack the GOP
drive to scuttle former President Barack Obama’s health care over-
haul as damaging to patients.
Three weeks after the House narrowly approved the measure
with GOP-only votes and after several embarrassing setbacks,
Republican senators said they’d move in their own direction and
dismissed the report’s impact.
In closed-door meetings aimed at crafting a measure, GOP sen-
ators have discussed changing the House’s proposed Medicaid cuts
and aiming health care tax credits more toward low earners, but
they’ve reported little progress.
Wine and weed? Some Oregon
vineyards try hand at pot farming
JACKSONVILLE — Bill and Barbara Steele moved to this
sleepy corner of Oregon to start their own winery after successful,
high-powered business careers.
Now, more than a decade later and with award-winning wine to
show for their hard work, they are adding a new crop: marijuana.
Oregon’s legalization of recreational pot two years ago cre-
ated room for entrepreneurial cross-pollination in this fertile region
abutting California’s so-called Emerald Triangle, a well-known
nirvana for outdoor weed cultivation.
Recreational marijuana won’t be legal in California until next
year, but a few miles north of the border in Oregon, a handful of
winemakers are experimenting with pot in hopes of increasing
their appeal among young consumers and in niche markets.
“Baby boomers are drinking less. Millennials are coming into
their time, economically, where in 2016 they were the fastest-grow-
ing consumers of wine, both in dollars and volume,” said Barbara
PALOMINO VALLEY, Nev. — President Donald Trump’s bud-
get proposal calls for saving $10 million next year by selling wild
horses captured throughout the West without the current require-
ment that buyers guarantee the animals won’t be resold for slaughter.
Wild horse advocates say the change would gut nearly a
half-century of protection for wild horses — an icon of the Amer-
ican West — and could send thousands of free-roaming mustangs
to foreign slaughterhouses for processing as food.
They say the Trump administration is kowtowing to livestock
interests who don’t want the region’s estimated 59,000 mustangs
competing for precious forage across more than 40,000 square
miles of rangeland in 10 states managed by the U.S. Bureau of
Land Management.
The budget proposal marks the latest skirmish in the decades-
old controversy pitting ranchers and rural communities against
groups that want to protect the horses from Colorado to California.
Over the past eight years, BLM’s wild horse budget has more
than doubled — from $36.2 million in 2008 to $80.4 million in 2017.
Trump’s budget anticipates the $10 million savings would come
through a reduction in the cost of containing and feeding the ani-
mals. The savings also would include cutbacks involving roundups
and contraception programs.
Timber company plans
lawsuit over Elliott Forest
SALEM — An Oregon timber company reportedly plans to sue
its home state for $3.3 million after its plans to buy the Elliott State
Forest recently fell through.
The Coos Bay World reports attorneys for Lone Rock Tim-
ber Management Company of Roseburg alerted the Oregon State
Lands Department of their plans last week in an email.
Lone Rock was the sole bidder for the 82,500-acre forest, which
was on sale for $220 million as a way to meet its financial obliga-
tion to produce funds for public education. The state land board
reversed its decision to sell it earlier this month.
Lone Rock’s attorneys say the company has suffered millions
of dollars in out-of-pocket losses and lost business opportunity, and
will seek tort claims for misrepresentation and negligence.
Fastest growing US cities are in
South; four of top five in Texas
DALLAS — Ten of the 15 fastest-growing cities with popula-
tions of 50,000 or more were spread across the South in 2016, with
four of the top five found in Texas, according to new population
estimates released today by the U.S. Census Bureau.
Conroe, Texas, a northern Houston suburb, was the fast-
est-growing of the 15, seeing a 7.8 percent increase from 2015 to
2016, a growth rate more than 11 times that of the nation.
The rest of the top five fastest-growing large cities were Frisco,
Texas, a northern Dallas suburb, with a 6.2 percent increase; McK-
inney, Texas, another northern Dallas suburb, saw a 5.9 percent
increase; Greenville, South Carolina, ran up a 5.8 percent increase;
and Georgetown, Texas, a northern Austin suburb, had a 5.5 per-
cent increase.
Jail: Specializes in substance-abuse treatment, gang prevention
Continued from Page 1A
The Daily Astorian/File Photo
Sgt. Dave Clarke, a corrections officer at the Clatsop
County Jail, writes up inmate assessments in 2014. The
Clatsop County Board of Commissioners has approved a
study to look at moving the jail to Warrenton.
DLR Group provided simi-
lar services as part of a project
to relocate most functions of
the Sheriff’s Office to its loca-
tion in Warrenton. The proj-
ect was completed last sum-
mer. It also looked at a possible
expansion project at the exist-
ing jail site in 2011. A bond
measure the next year sought
$14 million — funded by prop-
erty taxes at a rate of 16 cents
per $100,000 in property value
— in funding to expand the
jail, but it failed 56 percent to
44 percent.
County officials have not
had discussions about the
future of the current jail site if

through the facility’s educa-
tional program, which has one
of the highest graduation rates
of youth prisons in the state.
The facility temporar-
ily closed in 2003 due to bud-
get cuts, but reopened months
later with a smaller inmate
population.
Moore said the study likely
will be finished sometime in
July.

the relocation occurs, Moore
said. Those discussions would
be based on specific cost esti-
mates from the study if the
county decides to relocate the
jail.
Commissioner Scott Lee,
the board’s chairman, said he
spoke to Sheriff Tom Bergin
and that both agreed the study
would be beneficial.
“This is the best opportu-
nity that I’ve seen, and it’s the
closest that we’ve gotten to
solving this problem that has
been a problem here for over
10 years,” Lee said.
The youth facility special-
izes in substance-abuse treat-
ment, gang prevention and
parole violators. Inmates can
for board candidates. The char-
ter currently sets the fee at $20.
As is required every 10
years, the board appointed
10 citizens to a committee to
review the charter. Chaired by
former county commissioner
and incoming Port of Astoria
Commissioner Dirk Rohne, the
committee held several meet-
ings, took public comment and
examined other charters in the
state. Members of the commit-
tee doubted whether the charter
was the proper place to estab-
lish a filing fee.
County staff will schedule a
public hearing that will deter-
mine whether or not to place
the recommended change on
the November ballot.
