ARRESTS, CITATIONS
Monday
•Umatilla tribal police arrested Donald Murray LaPrelle, 57, of
La Grande, for possession of methamphetamine.
•Hermiston police arrested Victor Manuel Diodoro,
25, of Kennewick, for violating parole and possession of
methamphetamine.
•Hermiston police reported catching a driver who tried getting
away after crashing into a motorcyclist.
Michael William Hoglen, 28, at 5:45 p.m. turned right into
the parking lot of Gotta Stop Mini Mart, 1580 W. Highland Ave.,
according to Hermiston Police Chief Jason Edmiston, but Hoglen
failed to yield to Aaron Gilroy’s motorcycle and caused a head-on
crash.
Hoglen fled the scene, Edmiston reported, driving around
the building through the busy parking lot and back on to West
Highland Avenue.
“Hoglen drove around numerous people trying to stop him
from leaving and split the east and west bound traffic,” the police
chief stated in an email, “driving in the middle of the roadway with
his 3-year-old daughter in the vehicle.”
A private party took Gilroy to Good Shepherd Medical Center,
Hermiston, for treatment of injuries. Edmiston said he did not
have an update on Gilroy at the time.
Police later caught up to Hoglen at his residence, 1650 W.
Sunland Ave., No. M11, and arrested him for failure to perform
duties of driver to injured persons, reckless driving and on a
probation violation.
Tuesday
•Pendleton police arrested another suspect for breaking into
a vehicle.
Officers at 1:58 a.m. responded to the 300 block of Southwest
Second Street on a report from a neighborhood resident about
a person breaking into a vehicle, according to police Lt. Charles
Byram. Officers arrived at the area within three minutes and
spotted the suspect about two blocks from the crime scene.
“It was the timely reporting and accurate description given by
the witness that greatly assisted the patrol officers in locating the
suspect,” Byram stated in an email.
That led police to arrest Cody Ray DuBois, 29, of 532
N.W. 14th St., Pendleton, for unauthorized entry into a motor
vehicle, third-degree theft, second-degree criminal mischief, and
possession of burglary tools.
Pendleton has experienced more than two dozen vehicle
break-ins over the past two weeks. Byram said those investiga-
tions continue.
Umatilla County Circuit Court records show DuBois has five
criminal cases pending for charges ranging from identify theft
to felon in possession of a restricted weapon to trespassing. He
also happens to be the fourth person named Cody now in the
Umatilla County Jail.

“It’s pretty obvious
that our problem
with health care
was not the
Democrats.
We didn’t have
50 Republicans.”
By ALAN FRAM
Associated Press
WASHINGTON
—
Republicans showed signs
Tuesday of reaching out
to Democrats for a joint if
modest effort to buttress
health insurance markets,
four days after the GOP effort
to unilaterally uproot and
reshape the Obama health
care law crumpled in the
Senate.
The Republican chairman
of the Senate health
committee,
Tennessee’s
Lamar Alexander, proposed
bipartisan
legislation
extending for one year federal
payments to insurers that help
millions of low- and moder-
ate-income Americans afford
coverage. President Donald
Trump has threatened to halt
those subsidies in hopes of
forcing Democrats to make
concessions, but the Senate’s
top Democrat on Tuesday
called his moves “childish.”
The No. 2 Senate Repub-
lican also seemed to suggest
that the two parties seek
common health care ground.
Citing the Senate’s “fragile
majorities,” Texas Sen. John
Cornyn said on the Senate
floor, “We are forced to work
together to try to solve these
problems, and I think frankly
bipartisan solutions tend to be
more durable.”
In
addition,
Senate
Majority
Leader
Mitch
McConnell rebuffed Trump’s
demands that the Senate
change its rules so it can pass a
health overhaul with a simple
majority vote. McConnell,
R-Ky., said the Senate lacks
the votes to end filibusters of
legislation like Trump wants,
and noted that getting the 60
votes needed to end filibusters
wasn’t why Republicans lost.
“It’s pretty obvious that
our problem with health care
was not the Democrats. We
didn’t have 50 Republicans,”
McConnell told reporters.
The prospects for passing
any bipartisan health care
legislation remain uncertain,
with divisions between
conservatives and moderate
Republicans persisting on
several issues. In particular,
Trump, McConnell and
some other Republicans
have mocked the payments

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Ky., flanked
by Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., the Republican Conference
chairman, left, and Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., laughs as he
holds his first news conference since the Republican
health care bill collapsed last week due to opposition
within the GOP ranks, Tuesday on Capitol Hill.
Alexander wants to renew as
a bailout for insurers.
Nonetheless, the day’s
comments collectively under-
scored the distance Senate
Republicans are keeping
from White House demands
that they continue voting
on repealing and replacing
President Barack Obama’s
2010 health care overhaul.
Uprooting that law has been
a top priority for Trump and
most GOP congressional
candidates, and failing to do
it as they control the White
House and Congress has
angered many in the party.
Many top Republicans
have said it’s time for the GOP
to move from health care to
other issues.
McConnell said “there’s
still an opportunity” for
Republicans to push health
care legislation through the
Senate alone. He said he was
waiting for the nonpartisan
Congressional Budget Office
to estimate the impact of GOP
bills easing some of the party’s
proposed Medicaid cuts,
making it easier for insurers
to sell bare-bones policies and
simply giving states block
grants for health programs.

Annual
th
Alexander said the legis-
lation he envisions would
be “small, bipartisan and
balanced.” He said it should
include money to continue the
insurance payments in 2018
plus provisions giving states
more flexibility to improve
health insurance policies,
which he did not define.
He said his panel would
hold hearings next month on
stabilizing insurance markets.
That would be a departure
from the lack of hearings
when McConnell worked
behind closed doors to craft
various versions of the GOP’s
health care bill, each of which
were rejected by his Republi-
can-run chamber.
Alexander said he’s asked
Trump to make the payments
to insurers for August and
September to give his panel
time to write legislation.
White House officials have
said Trump will decide this
week on the August install-
ment.
Sen. Patty Murray of Wash-
ington state, the health panel’s
top Democrat, embraced
Alexander’s suggestions.
Trump has repeatedly
threatened to cut off federal

disbursements to insurers.
They total $7 billion this
year and are helping around
7 million people afford
insurance deductibles and
co-payments.
Obama’s statute requires
that insurers reduce out-of-
pocket costs for many
customers. But a federal court
has blocked the federal reim-
bursements to insurers who do
that, saying the funds have yet
to be properly authorized by
Congress. Trump and Obama
before him have continued the
payments temporarily.
The payments to insurers
are backed by Democrats and
some Republicans because
many experts say that even
the threat of blocking them
is already prompting insurers
to raise prices and consider
abandoning some markets.
Kristine Grow, spokeswoman
for the insurance industry
group America’s Health Insur-
ance Plans, said to cover their
costs if the federal payments
ended, insurers would have
to boost premiums for people
buying individual policies by
20 percent.
