TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — A 16-year-old boy has been
charged with two counts of assault, drive-by shooting and
unlawful possession of a firearm in connection with the
shooting and wounding of two students outside a high
school near Tacoma.
Multiple news outlets
reported Tuesday that the teen
was charged as an adult in
the Dec. 5 shooting that sent
two Graham-Kapowsin High
School students to a hospital.
Charging documents say the day before the shooting,
two girls argued in the school cafeteria. Documents
say a male friend of one of the girls told the other girl’s
boyfriend something to the effect of, “You need to get
control of your girl,” which offended the boyfriend.
Documents say the shooting happened the following
day at a site of a fight arranged after the cafeteria
argument.
Documents say the suspect was among the people who
had gathered to watch the fight.
Facebook to add two new data centers
at Prineville campus
PRINEVILLE (AP) — Facebook says it will build two
data centers on its campus northeast of Bend in Prineville.
The Oregonian/OregonLive reported Facebook said
Tuesday it recently bought 240 acres from Crook County
for the new data centers. The campus already has several
buildings.
Facebook says the data centers will take up more than
900,000 square feet and will cost “hundreds of millions of
dollars,” most of which will go to the computers that run
the social network and store social medial updates, photos
and videos.
Construction on the fourth data center begins this
month, and Facebook said it will be operational in 2020.
Work begins on the fifth facility next year.
It’s been nearly eight years since Facebook began
construction of its first corporate data center above
Prineville, drawn by property tax exemptions worth $71.6
million since 2012.
Eugene Airport services 1 million
passengers in 2017, breaks record
EUGENE (AP) — The Eugene Airport has surpassed 1
million annual passengers in 2017, the airport’s first time
doing so.
The Register-Guard reports that officials announced the
milestone on Monday.
The city-owned facility had inched close to the 1
million mark in 2016 but fell short.
A robust economy and added flights have contributed to
the airport breaking annual passenger numbers for seven
consecutive years.
The airport competes for air travelers with Portland
International Airport, which is a two-hour drive from
Eugene.
The Portland airport usually attracts more than 1 million
travelers per month.
Last year, 18.3 million people arrived or departed from
Portland’s airport.

Lawsuit: Bullseye was unfair target of pollution crackdown
By PARIS ACHEN
Capital Bureau
The owners of Bullseye
Glass Co. have sued Gov.
Kate Brown and state
regulators for $30 million
for unfairly targeting the
company for elevated levels
of air toxins detected in
2015 near the company’s
Southeast Portland stained-
glass factory.
The 80-page civil rights
complaint filed Tuesday in
U.S. District Court claims
that the governor and state
regulators arbitrarily used
Bullseye as a scapegoat for
air pollution that came from
multiple sources and for the
state’s lax enforcement of
air quality regulations.
State regulators “used
Bullseye as a scapegoat
to conceal from the public
(the Department of Envi-
ronmental Quality’s) failure
to establish any program
to identify or control toxic
waste emissions from small
and medium-sized busi-
nesses,” the lawsuit says.
The
state’s
actions
damaged “the goodwill,
good name and brand that
Bullseye’s owners had
spent a lifetime building,”
according to the filing.
A spokesperson in Gov.
Brown’s office was not imme-
diately available Tuesday
morning to respond to the
allegations, but the governor
typically does not comment
on pending litigation.
Pamplin Media Group
Protesters demonstrate outside of Bullseye Glass Co. in Southeast Portland in
2016, calling for the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality to shut down
the company’s operations during an air pollution investigation.
The Portland Mercury
reported in February 2016
that the U.S. Forest Service
had found high concentra-
tions of toxic metals in moss
near Bullseye’s factory in
October 2015.
The federal agency had
shared the results with DEQ,
but DEQ did not notify Bull-
seye or the public.
“When alerted to a
possible emissions problem
for the first time in early
February 2016, Bullseye
acted quickly and consci-
entiously to address those
concerns,” the lawsuit says.
Bullseye was in full
compliance with DEQ
permits at the time that the
agency brought enforcement
action against the company,
the lawsuit says.
In March 2016, some
Southeast Portland residents
joined in a class action
suit against Bullseye for
allegedly
contaminating
their neighborhoods and
threatening their health.
Gov. Brown in May 2016
ordered Bullseye to imme-
diately stop using certain
hazardous metals after
unsafe levels of air pollut-
ants were found at a nearby
daycare, the Children’s
Creative Learning Center.
“Public health and safety
are my highest priorities,”
Brown said in a statement
on the day of the order. “This
swift action and public noti-
fication will help ensure the
wellbeing of local residents
who live and work in the
area.”
The lawsuit says DEQ
misrepresented the results
of air toxin tests, further
tarnishing the company’s
reputation.
“No Oregon business has
ever been treated the way
Bullseye was treated in the
actions described below,”
the lawsuit says.
In addition to Gov. Brown
and DEQ, the lawsuit names
Oregon Health Authority and
Multnomah County Health
Department as defendants.
