Ammon Bundy’s two days of testimony have taken jurors from his family’s high-proile 2014 standoff with federal agents in Nevada to this winter’s occupation of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, revealing the connec- tions between the two. Bundy asserted the Nevada standoff triggered the activism that led him to Oregon. Though U.S. District Judge Anna Brown has tried to keep jurors focused on the criminal charges, the charismatic Bundy has repeatedly tried to use the platform to amplify his message that Western states must win more control over vast federal land holdings. Bundy, 41, is among seven people accused of conspiring to impede federal workers from doing their jobs at the refuge during the occupation that lasted nearly six weeks. Four of the seven, including Bundy, are also charged with possessing a gun in a federal facility. If convicted, they face years in prison. Bundy said he did not conspire with anyone in the weeks prior to the Jan. 2 occupation. That morning, he met a group at a restaurant 30 miles from the refuge and suggested they take it over during a rally supporting two ranchers set to return to prison for arson. “I proposed to them that we go into the refuge, and we basically take possession of it, and we give these lands back to the people,” Bundy said. He said he wasn’t armed on the refuge but acknowledged telling others to carry guns. Otherwise, the occupation had no chance of success, he said. “Without the guns, they would have come out in a paddy wagon and put us in zip-tie handcuffs,” Bundy said of authorities. “We would never have been able to tell people why we were there.” Bundy testiied that inter- fering with federal workers was never a consideration. He wanted to generate media coverage of the treatment of Dwight and Steven Hammond, father-and-son ranchers convicted of setting ire to public land, and his belief that the U.S. Constitu- tion gives the federal govern- ment very limited right to own land within a state. “This issue is the issue,” Bundy told the judge when she tried to limit his testimony about the Constitution. “This is why we went onto the refuge and did what we did.” Bundy maintains he tried legally to keep the Hammonds out of prison before deciding he had no choice but to take what he repeatedly called a “hard stand.” Prosecutors contend the conspiracy began two months before the occupation, when Bundy met an Oregon sheriff on Nov. 5 to discuss the plight of the Hammonds. Bundy said that was not true.

The federal agents tried to round up the elder Bundy’s cattle but backed off as they faced a large armed group. A video played for jurors showed the police oficial appearing to broker the deal that allowed Cliven Bundy’s cattle to go free. Ammon Bundy said that oficial protected his family, and he igured Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward in Oregon would do the same for the Hammonds. But he said the discussion with Ward got no results, and neither did his efforts to contact elected oficials. Bundy also discussed how his religious faith played a role in his decision to help the ranchers. The judge, however, stopped him from reading Scripture on the stand. After the jury left for its lunch break, Bundy co-defen- dant Neil Wampler stood to applaud, saying, “We all love you Ammon. Thank you so much for what you’re doing.” Bundy will take the stand again Thursday. In the article “Mega-dairy up for further review” in Wednesday’s East Oregonian, Ivan Maluski, policy director for Friends of Family Farms, was incorrectly quoted. The correct quote is “Small farms have been the backbone of Oregon’s economy for several genera- tions.” The East Oregonian works hard to be accurate and sincerely regrets any errors.

The Bulletin reports that the Washington initia- tive would get rid of the tax exemption that allows residents from states without sales tax, such as Oregon, to skirt paying one in Washington. If the measure passes in November, Oregon residents will go from paying no sales taxes on common retail goods in Washington to paying a combined 8.89 percent for state and local sales taxes. Big purchases such as cars and boats would still be tax free. The proposal aims to set up publicly funded elections for the state. The proposed change would also affect resi- dents of Montana, New Hampshire, Delaware, Alaska and Canadian provinces. Two young children and their 36-year-old father died Wednesday in an apparent homicide-suicide at an apartment complex near Portland, authorities said. Beaverton police spokesman Mike Rowe told The Associated Press that oficers responded to the apartment around 4:30 p.m. after a female relative called saying three people were possibly dead inside. When police oficers entered the apartment, they initially thought, based on substantial gunshot wounds, that all three people were dead, Rowe said. As they backed out of the apartment to preserve evidence and the crime scene, however, Rowe said they heard rustling inside and then a single gunshot. A tactical negotiation team called to the scene then entered the unit and conirmed all three people inside were deceased. Rowe said the children killed were an 8-year-old girl and a 6-year-old boy.
