Prineville OKs tax
deal for Facebook
big data center
PRINEVILLE (AP) —
Facebook has been approved
for a new data center in
Prineville that is expected to
save the social-networking
company tens of millions of
dollars.
The Oregonian reports
the City Council and Crook
County commissioners
signed off on a 15-year deal
Wednesday for Facebook to
build its third and largest data
center in the central Oregon
community.
County property records
show Facebook has already
spent nearly $780 million
in Prineville. The new deal
requires Facebook to pay
local governments $190,000
annually plus the $110,000
it already pays each year
for its existing data centers.
In exchange, the company
would receive property tax
exemptions.
Although Facebook has
indicated its plans to build a
third facility in Prineville, the
SALEM (AP) — The
Oregon Department of
Corrections says police have
captured an inmate who
walked away from a prison
work crew in Salem.
William Beebe was
arrested in Salem Thursday
afternoon, two days after he
was reported missing from a
10-man crew doing work near
an elementary school.
The 38-year-old inmate
entered the Santiam
Correctional Institution in
Salem this summer after he
was convicted in Marion
County of unauthorized use
of a vehicle. His earliest
release date is April 6, 2017.

retaliation by him should give

because he can’t properly

neither he nor any of his
deputies have been involved
in any misconduct requiring
disciplinary action.
Earlier this week the state
Department of Justice said
it was conducting a criminal
investigation on Skrah, but
wouldn’t say what it was
about. He has not been
charged.

Agriculture secretary promises more
sage grouse spending across West
Associated Press
BILLINGS, Mont. —
The federal government
plans to spend more than
$200 million over the next
three years on programs to
protect greater sage grouse in
Western states — regardless
of whether the bird receives
federal protections, U.S.
Agriculture Secretary Tom
Vilsack said.
Vilsack told The Asso-
ciated Press that he wants
to almost double protected
habitat for the chicken-sized
bird, to 8 million acres by
2018. He also promised more
spending on conservation
easements for private land-
owners, to limit residential
development in sage grouse
habitat and to restore
wetlands used by the birds.
A formal announcement
was planned for Thursday
during an event in Portland,
It’s part of an ongoing
Corn
campaign by the Obama
administration to demon-
strate its commitment to
staving off further declines in
grouse populations.
The bird’s fate has
become a potential political
liability heading into the 2016
election. Federal protections
could prompt limits on
energy drilling, grazing and
other activities across the
grouse’s 11-state range.
Republicans have seized
on the issue as supposed
evidence of wildlife protec-
tion laws run amuck. They
say it underscores the urgent
need to scale back the federal
Endangered Species Act.
Sage
grouse
were
proposed for protections
under the act in 2010, but
they were not put in place
because of other priorities.
Vilsack said the admin-
istration was seeking to
balance concerns over the
bird’s future with economic
reality.
“Diversity of wildlife
is important. Diversity of
economy is important as
well,” he said in an interview.
“We want our working lands
to be productive, and we
also want to make sure we
maintain what’s unique to the
value of that terrain.”
Under a court settlement
with
environmentalists,
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service faces a September 30
deadline to decide if protec-
tions are needed.
The future spending
Vilsack described is in
addition to more than $400
million spent on sage grouse
conservation since 2010.
Future spending pledges —
and additional money from
states, conservation groups
and others — would bump
the overall tally to more than
$750 million for sage grouse
through 2018, according to
