By BRENNA VISSER The Daily Astorian A 37-year-old Asto- ria man was indicted on fi rst-degree attempted assault and several drug-related charges after allegedly trying to hit a Clatsop County Sheriff’s Offi ce deputy with his car. In December, the sher- iff’s offi ce received a tip that a man, Tyler More- house, had a fi rearm and was looking for another man allegedly holding a woman against her will somewhere near the Twi- light Mainline. When the deputy arrived , he saw More- Oregon wants to make it easier to build affordable housing Incentives for apartments By SARAH ZIMMERMAN Associated Press SALEM — Demo- crats want to design their way out of Oregon’s hous- ing crisis and are consid- ering a proposal clearing the path for developers to build more apartments and townhouses. The move comes on the heels of a landmark rent control measure and is meant to be part of a mul- tipronged approach to com- bat the state’s housing shortage. House Speaker Tina Kotek said Monday the effort will “increase hous- ing choice and the supply of more affordable housing.” The bill would end sin- gle-family zoning. Cit- ies with more than 10,000 people would be required to offer, in addition to sin- Brown wants appointee to keep eye on election A replacement for Richardson Jeanne Atkins was appointed secretary of state in 2015, and said she would not be running in 2016 after completing Brown’s term in the state’s second-highest offi ce. “I didn’t want someone who was both running for the offi ce and overseeing a presidential election, because it would have been the fi rst time they would have over- seen an election,” Brown said. She said that by coin- cidence, the same situation exists now, since she must appoint someone to fi ll the remainder of a term with another presidential election coming up. Brown said she also wants to avoid a situation like the one in Georgia in 2018, when By ANDREW SELSKY Associated Press Gov. Kate Brown wants to select a new secretary of state who does not plan to seek re-election in 2020, saying that person should be focused on running elections and not running for offi ce. Brown said that when she was elevated from sec- retary of state to governor in 2015 with the resignation of Gov. John Kitzhaber over an ethics scandal, she named a secretary of state to replace her who would not run for re-election the following year. Secretary of State Brian Kemp ran for governor while overseeing the vote. Kemp, a Republican, narrowly beat Democrat Stacey Abrams. She is also looking for a candidate with management skills to fi ll the remaining term of Dennis Richardson, a Republican who was elected to a four-year term in 2016 and died from brain cancer in February. Oregon statute calls for Brown to name a Republican. The governor noted that several editorials had criti- cized her stance. The Pamplin Media Group of newspapers recently urged Brown to choose someone with ambitions of remaining in offi ce. “What Oregon needs is a secretary of state who can carry out Richardson’s vision of a less partisan and more transparent state government and, if he or she so chooses, advance his or her own agenda with an eye toward keeping the job beyond 2020,” the media group’s editorial said. WANTED Alder and Maple Saw Logs & Standing Timber Northwest Hardwoods • Longview, WA gle-family homes, what’s known as “middle” housing options. That means build- ing more residential struc- tures with multiple dwell- ing units, like duplexes and triplexes. Proponents hope the idea will give residents more affordable housing options in cities and subur- ban neighborhoods, while allowing for more devel- opment. If passed, Oregon would become the fi rst state to eliminate single-family zoning. Minneapolis voted to restrict the practice last December. The Oregon measure also responds to criticism from the state’s recent rent control law, which broad- ens tenant protections and limits the amount landlords can increase rent per year. Economists have warned that the state needs to focus on housing supply, and that rent control could dissuade developers — making the housing crisis worse. Builders in Oregon have not been able to construct enough houses and apart- ments to meet the demands of the thousands of peo- ple moving to the state for jobs and in some cases, for a lower cost of living. Many people move to the state from California. The plan is meant to alle- viate a rental market that’s reaching capacity. A study from the economic con- sulting fi rm ECONorth- west found that only 63 new housing units were created for every 100 new fami- lies in Oregon from 2010 to 2016. And that’s made it near impossible to fi nd housing in the state’s major cities. In Portland, 95 percent of all apartments were occu- pied in 2018, according to RealPage, which provides data to the real estate indus- try. Salem and Eugene also had occupancy rates over 95 percent. Economists say the high housing demand has caused rents to skyrocket.
