Kate Brown announced Thursday that she is endorsing a controversial corporate sales tax measure on November’s ballot. Initiative Petition 28, on track to be called Measure 97 on the ballot, levies a 2.5 percent tax on certain corporations’ Oregon gross receipts exceeding $25 million. “I have spent my career ighting to make Oregon a place where everyone can thrive, Brown said in a statement. “I support Measure 97 because there is a basic unfairness in our tax system that makes working families pay an increasing share for state and local services, including public schools, senior services, and health care. By some measures, Oregon is among the lowest in corporate taxes, and Oregon ians expect everyone to pay their fair share.” The tax would pour an estimated $3 billion a year into state coffers but slow job growth and bump up consumer prices, according to the nonpartisan Legislative Revenue Ofice. “Our state cannot move forward and meet Oregon’s growing needs over the next decade without a stable revenue base,” Brown said Thursday. “Measure 97 is an important step forward, and I will make sure the funds the measure yields go towards schools, health care, and Brown seniors, as the voters expect. “State leaders before me have repeatedly tried and failed to solve the problem of adequate and stable funding for schools and other state services. Every solution has had strengths and weaknesses in terms of fairness and economic impact. None has succeeded in bringing the business community, individual and family taxpayers, service providers, and advocates together.” Bud Pierce, Brown’s Republican challenger in November’s governor’s race, said he was disappointed that Brown is supporting what would be the largest sales tax increase in Oregon’s history. “If passed, this tax increase would Rebeca Bagdocimo/The Oregonian via AP Amber Hills, of Newberg, gave birth to identical trip- let girls were born at Providence St. Vincent in Port- land on Aug. 1.

Oregon parents welcome identical triplet girls PORTLAND — Each identical triplet is so tiny she can it in her father’s hand — and soon these rare medical wonders in Oregon will have painted toenails so the new parents can tell them apart. Logan Brown-Fletcher and Amber Hills, 19-year-old high school sweethearts and irst-time parents from Newberg, Oregon, welcomed identical girl triplets Raelyn, Avery and Elaina on Monday. Their neonatologist, Dr. Craig Novack, told The Oregonian/OregonLive that identical triplets are so rare he’s only seen one other set in his 22-year career. The triplets’ birth came earlier than planned after doctors had trouble hearing a heartbeat for one.

A tax increase like this will not help anyone. It will hurt low-income families in Oregon the most.” The Legislative Revenue Ofice estimated that the tax would cause price increases that would cost a family earning median income more than $600 more per year in the form of increased prices on daily needs, such as food, fuel and electricity. Brown said that state leaders have repeatedly failed to come up with another solution to Oregon’s unstable funding system for schools and other state services. “Every solution has had strengths and weaknesses in terms of fairness and economic impact,” she said. ■ Paris Achen is an EO Media Group Capital Bureau reporter based in Salem.

In a statement Thursday, the mayor said Patricia Davis Gibson, a tribal court judge and tribal attorney, will represent Native American interests and strengthen communication with various tribes. Gibson is an enrolled member of the Comanche Tribe of Oklahoma, and is a direct descendant of Chief Ten Bears. She grew up in Wyoming, by the Wind River Indian Reservation, and later by the Crow Nation. Gibson earned her undergraduate degree at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado, near the Southern Ute Indian Reservation. Feds agree to dismiss minor pot case against Oregon teen PORTLAND(AP) — Federal prosecutors have agreed to dismiss a small-time marijuana case against an Oregon teenager following an outcry that got the attention of the state’s congressional delegation. In a court iling, an attorney for 19-year-old Devondre Thomas said the government has agreed to dismiss the charge as long as he works or attends school and doesn’t break any laws for the next two months. Thomas was charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession in April after prosecutors said he bought a gram for $20 from another student at the Chemawa Indian School in Salem. The case — with its potential for a yearlong jail term — outraged many people in Oregon. U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer and Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley sent a letter to Oregon U.S. Attorney Billy Williams expressing concern about the ofice’s drug prosecution priorities.
