Some lawmakers have said the current short session that lasts only 35 days should be just for budget issues and fine-tuning legislation. But two greenhouse-gas bills in the House and Senate, sponsored by 31 lawmakers and weighing in at up to 34 pages apiece, were taking center stage on Monday. Committee hearings were to be held in the afternoon. At midday, protesters gathered outside the Capitol in sunny, chilly weather, carrying signs including ones that said “climate justice.” One inflatable sign asked Senate President Peter Courtney to “be a climate hero.” Trump admin proposes $230M cut for Hanford SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — The Trump admin- istration is proposing a $230 million cut in cleanup spending at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in fiscal 2019. The budget request released on Monday cuts $61 million from the budget for Hanford’s Office of River Protection, and $169 million from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Richland Opera- AP Photo/Andrew Selsky A protester carries a sign in front of the Capitol building in Salem on Monday. tions Office. The two offices would receive about $2.1 billion combined for the fiscal year. Hanford for decades made plutonium for nuclear weapons. The site near Richland is now engaged in cleaning up a huge volume of radioactive and hazardous wastes left over from plutonium production. Critics have said Hanford’s budget must be dramatically increased to some $3 billion a year to achieve legal cleanup milestones. Nationwide, the budget calls for spending $6.6 billion on environmental cleanup of Cold War wastes. Governor pardons ex-gang member who became mentor PORTLAND (AP) — Oregon Gov.

HWY 395, HERMISTON 541-567-4305 Mon-Sat 8am-6pm • Sun 12pm-5am www.cottagefl owersonline.com has granted a pardon to a 44-year-old former gang member who turned his life around. Dondrae “Choo” Fair pleaded guilty to first-degree robbery and other crimes after committing a carjacking at age 19. He returned to gang life after prison and was shot in the chest while leaving a funeral in 2000. That proved a turning point. Fair stopped his gang activity and later became a mentor, using his experience to educate young people and encourage them not to repeat his mistakes. The governor said in a statement Monday that Fair’s clemency application generated broad support from the community, including from the victims of his crime, the officer who arrested him and Multnomah County District Attorney Rod Underhill. Pet stores may be banned from selling dogs from breeders SALEM, Ore. (AP) — A bill under consideration in the Legislature would prohibit Oregon pet stores from selling dogs purchased from breeders. The Statesman Journal reports the bill would require that dogs come from an animal shelter or rescue group. Violators could be fined up to $500 for offering non-rescue dogs. State Rep. David Gomberg, D-Otis, says the bill would hinder puppy mills while helping dogs that languish in shelters. California passed a similar bill that takes effect next year. The Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council opposes the bill. Its president, Mike Bober, says such Need Outdoor Living Space? Beat the W e’ve Got YOU Covered! Rush!

Othello rancher leaves fortune to rural causes TOPPENISH, Wash. (AP) — Yakama tribal leaders have declared a public safety crisis on the southern Washington reservation and are imposing stricter penalties following a recent spike in crime. The Yakima Herald- Republic reports tribal leaders approved a resolution earlier this week, allowing officials to take away treaty fishing and hunting rights and remove non-tribal members from the reservation for certain crimes. The resolution also criticized the Washington State Patrol for not actively patrolling the reservation, and it called on the federal government to help address the crisis. State Patrol spokesman Kyle Moore says routine patrols ended on the reservation after their authority was relinquished to tribal police under the retrocession process. He says the state agency does assist other agencies on the reservation like the Yakima County Sheriff’s Office. SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — An Othello cattle rancher has left a small fortune to benefit every- thing from rural health care to wildlife in Eastern Washington. William Crosetto died on Jan. 25 at the age of 75. The Spokesman-Review says he worked with the Inland Northwest Commu- nity Foundation to establish a legacy. His $5.1 million estate, along with the upcoming proceeds from the sale of his ranch, will establish several $1 million endowments. One will support rural medical residencies through Providence Health Care’s program in Colville. Crosetto’s second endowment will create a mobile health care unit through Washington State University’s medical school that will serve rural areas. The remainder of his gift will support a variety Yakama leaders declare crisis after crime spike Corrections The East Oregonian works hard to be accurate and sincerely regrets any errors.
