Hundreds besiege
Capitol for cap on
greenhouse gases
SALEM (AP) —
Hundreds of protesters
converged on the Oregon
Capitol to push lawmakers
to adopt legislation that
would place a cap on
greenhouse gas emissions
and impose a fee on
companies that exceed
maximum levels.
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-

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

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

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
