— Founded Oct. 16, 1875 —
BEND (AP) — Adult
film actress Stormy Dan-
iels was forced to cut short
a performance at an Oregon
strip club after a man threw
a wallet at her face.
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

Brown plans to address property tax system
By PARIS ACHEN
Capital Bureau
PORTLAND — Gov.
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

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.
