5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2017 WORLD IN BRIEF Associated Press Army Sgt. Bergdahl pleading guilty to desertion, misbehavior FORT BRAGG, N.C. — Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl told a military judge today that he’s pleading guilty to desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. “I understand that leaving was against the law,” said Berg- dahl, whose decision to walk off his remote post in Afghanistan in 2009 prompted intense search and recovery missions, during which some of his comrades were seriously wounded. “At the time, I had no intention of causing search and recov- ery operations,” Bergdahl said, but he added that now he does understand that his decision prompted efforts to find him. Bergdahl, 31, is accused of endangering his comrades by abandoning his post without authorization. He told a general after his release from five years in enemy hands that he did it with the intention of reaching other commanders and drawing attention to what he saw as problems with his unit. He may be hoping for leniency from the judge, Army Col. Jef- fery R. Nance. The misbehavior charge carries a maximum pen- alty of life in prison, while the desertion charge is punishable by up to five years. The judge has ruled that a Navy SEAL who suf- fered a career-ending leg wound and an Army National Guard sergeant whose head wound put him in a wheelchair would not have been hurt in firefights had they not been searching for Bergdahl. Bergdahl, who’s from Hailey, Idaho, has been assigned to desk duty at a Texas Army base while his case unfolds. White House: $4,000 more for families with business tax cuts WASHINGTON — By slashing corporate tax rates, the Trump administration said today, the average U.S. household will get an estimated $4,000 more a year. This stunning 5 percent increase was met with skepticism from tax experts and Democratic lawmakers who said the math was flawed. Spread across every U.S. household, the White House analysis claims it would generate “conservatively” an income jump totaling $504 billion, or about $200 billion more than the revenues currently generated by the corporate income tax. With this new report, the White House is making a populist argument for its proposal to cut the 35 percent corporate tax rate to 20 percent. Trump has pitched his tax plan as supporting the middle class even though the details point to major companies and the wealthy as the biggest winners. Polls suggest that voters generally frown upon the idea of cutting taxes for businesses — essentially rewarding these firms for avoiding taxes by exploiting loopholes and keeping profits overseas. The analysis by Kevin Hassett, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, said that the considerably lower rate would spur more investment by companies, which would then boost hiring and worker productivity. Separate studies, including a 2012 Treasury Department anal- ysis, found that the vast majority of any savings would go to investors, making it unlikely to push up wages as much as the administration has argued. The administration removed the 2012 analysis from the Treasury Department’s website after releas- ing its tax framework last month with Republican congressio- nal leaders. Outside economists said the income growth projected by Has- sett appears to assume that workers appear to bear more than 100 percent of the burden of U.S. corporate taxes — a mathematical impossibility. Couple: ‘Once we saw this property, we immediately put our house on the market’ Continued from Page 1A They toured the five-bed- room hotel on a typical rainy day in May, and were mysti- fied by the area’s beauty. “Once we saw this prop- erty, we immediately put our house on the market,” New- man said. “This place is special.” Newman and Anderson have been working to revamp and modernize the space since May. The original structure was built in 1939 by Ernest White, and the building has since acted as a post office, general store and hotel. Until this year, Newman and Anderson had no expe- rience running an inn. But what they do know is mar- keting, and Newman said she was excited to help solidify the inn’s identity. “There was already so much working for us when we took it over, so we are just trying to create more of a Pacific Northwest feel to it,” Newman said. “We want to keep it woodsy but modern.” To do so, Newman and Anderson are slowly chang- ing out older furniture with antiques from local stores. Every room now has flow- ers and candy from local ven- dors, and they intend to make more partnerships in the future. So far, the two love the fact they get to meet so many new people. Taking on the challenge to make such an established inn their own has been rewarding. But much of this experi- ence has been learning on the fly. Because the Inn at Arch Cape is run by just the owners and one housekeeper, Ander- son said they have to be ready to learn and do anything. “One of the hardest things is getting help to fix things (on the North Coast),” Ander- son said. “When the shower’s running hot, or the TV’s not working, you have to figure out how to fix a lot of stuff yourself.” There are few new chal- lenges they have learned to overcome that weren’t issues in Dallas. Since moving here, Anderson learned how to chop wood for fireplaces — a skill not sought after in a place where the temperature trends closer to 100 degrees most days. Not having as many resources closely accessible has also been a change for the couple. “In Dallas, we had a Home Depot 10 minutes away. Now we have to plan our trips into town so we don’t drive to Warrenton all the time,” Anderson said. But when they look back at those 60-hour work weeks in Dallas and compare it with the remote serenity of ocean living, Newman said it is worth the sacrifice. “It’s strange to live in a place where people vaca- tion,” Newman said. “But this is paradise. Every day we are proud of ourselves for taking the risk, and feel so lucky to live here.” What if you’re already living in your dream home?
