More than 100 people were at the Stars Cabaret on Thursday to see Daniels as part of her tour across the country, the Bend Bulletin reported. Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clif- ford, was in the middle of a strip performance to Lenny Kravitz’s cover of “Amer- ican Woman” when an apparently intoxicated man threw the wallet at her. Police arrived at the bar and interviewed the man outside. The man told police that he was “wasted” and he was “extremely sorry” for what he did, the report said. Daniels declined to press charges, police said. Daniels made national headlines after she revealed she was paid $130,000 to keep quiet about claims she had sex with President Donald Trump in 2006. Trump has acknowledged reimbursing his lawyer for the payment to Daniels but denies her allegations. The strip club in Bend, Oregon, promoted Daniels’ appearance on Thursday as a chance to see history in person. It charged $20 for admission and an addi- tional $15 to $25 for seats Caldwell 78/51 Burns 72/45 PRECIPITATION May 21 John Day 71/51 Ontario 80/51 57° 47° 33° (1966) 24 hours ending 3 p.m. Month to date Normal month to date Year to date Last year to date Normal year to date Sunrise today Sunset tonight Moonrise today Moonset today First Full Albany 71/48 Eugene 71/48 TEMPERATURE Yesterday Normals Records 90° 65° Spokane Wenatchee 67/49 70/53 Tacoma Moses 72/51 Lake Pullman Aberdeen Olympia Yakima 73/51 69/48 64/50 71/48 75/53 Longview Kennewick Walla Walla 71/50 74/55 Lewiston 77/53 Astoria 74/53 63/50 Portland Enterprise Hermiston 76/54 Pendleton 68/45 The Dalles 78/54 73/52 79/57 La Grande Salem 70/48 73/51 Corvallis 70/48 HIGH 90° 60° Seattle 72/53 ALMANAC Yesterday Normals Records 82° 56° Today WEDNESDAY Partly sunny and warmer 77° 54° Saturday, May 19, 2018 -10s -0s showers t-storms 0s 10s rain 20s flurries 30s 40s snow ice 50s 60s cold front 70s 80s 90s 100s warm front stationary front 110s high low National Summary: Rain will affect a large part of the eastern third of the nation and from the northern Rockies to the Upper Midwest today.

Kate Brown says she plans to work with state lawmak- ers in 2019 to craft a ballot referral to reform the state’s property tax system. Brown made the com- ment during a Q&A at the Portland City Club’s Friday Forum at the Sentinel Hotel in downtown Friday, May 18, in answer to a question from former Portland Com- missioner Steve Novick. “The taxes we pay are based largely on what a house was worth in 1995 rather than what it’s worth today,” Novick said. “That means the people in recently gentrified areas, like inner East Portland, are paying low property taxes, whereas people in un-gentrified areas, like far East Portland, are paying high property taxes. Are you planning to work with Sen. Hass in 2019 to craft a measure to send to the voters to address this inequity?” Brown responded that while voters need some edu- cation on how the prop- erty tax system works, she “would love to have the ongoing property tax con- versation in the state again.” Sen. Mark Hass, D-Bea- verton, chairman of the Senate Finance and Reve- nue Committee, proposed addressing the property tax system in bills filed in 2015 and 2017. He said he is Ride the Train! Jaime Valdez/Portland Tribune Gov. Kate Brown answers questions at the Portland City Club’s Friday Forum at the Sentinel Hotel in downtown. uncertain whether he’ll pro- pose a third iteration of the legislation in 2019. To date, Brown has placed other priorities over property tax reform and other problematic areas in the state tax code, Hass said. She has called a special session for May 21 to expand a business tax break, after she received heat for signing a bill earlier this year that denied Oregon businesses a 20-percent tax break written into federal tax reform. Hass said he could think of at least three other tax code problems that are more crucial to fix, including property tax reform. Some of his tax reform proposals have “always been just beyond arm’s reach because more pressing needs come up,” he said. “I wish the governor was calling a special ses- sion to address these other tax issues because they’re a much bigger problem.” The state property tax system, for instance, is in a state of collapse, Hass said. “When you have some- one who pays twice what their neighbor pays for the same house and that per- son says, ‘This isn’t fair I’m not paying it,’ it’s something that happens in third-world countries, but I’d like to think it’s not something that happens in Oregon.” Voters must ultimately vote to change the prop- erty tax code, as it was written into the Oregon Constitution. Measure 50, approved in 1997, enacted a permanent operating rate limit for all existing tax districts. The rate was calculated largely by combining exist- ing local tax levies. The tax rates cannot be changed by any action of the tax district and have remained stagnant since 1997, despite a bur- geoning state economy in the past couple of years. The complexity of the state’s tax system is one of the challenges to passing a voter referral to reform it, lending credence to the gov- ernor’s assertion that voters need more education before taking a vote. One option is to propose a referral that simply asks voters whether they want an equitable tax system, Hass said. If voters affirm that, then the state courts and the Legislature could pass poli- cies to reform it.
