Today Single copy price: $1 Tuesday through Friday, $1.50 Saturday Circulation: 541-966-0828 -10s By PARIS ACHEN Capital Bureau A U.S. Supreme Court ruling Monday in favor of a Colorado baker who refused to sell a custom wedding cake to a gay couple because of his religious beliefs is unlikely to resolve a similar case that has been appealed to the Oregon Supreme Court. The opinion by Justice Anthony Kennedy deter- mined that members of the Colorado Civil Rights Com- mission showed anti-reli- gious bias toward Colorado baker Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, in its enforcement of anti-discrim- ination laws. But the court’s decision stopped short of resolving whether merchants who have religious objections to gay marriage can refuse com- mercial services to same-sex couples. “Importantly, the Supreme Court today pro- tected the core principles of our nondiscrimination laws, expressly recognizing that states can seek to prevent the harms of discrimination in the marketplace, including against LGBT people,” said Diane Goodwin in a joint statement from Basic Rights Oregon and ACLU of Ore- gon. “The court did not give businesses the broad right to discriminate.” The Supreme Court ruled 7 to 2 in favor of Phil- lips’ argument that Colo- rado civil rights commis- sioners made statements that showed anti-religious bias. Phillips declined to sell a custom-made cake to Char- Pamplin Media Group fi le photo A sign on the window of Sweet Cakes by Melissa in Gresham was posted after the shop closed. lie Craig and Dave Mullins for the couple’s commitment ceremony. The Supreme Court opinion departed from Justice Kennedy’s history of supporting gay rights, including the court’s 2015 ruling legalizing gay mar- riage nationwide. At the time that Phil- lips refused to sell the cake to Craig and Mullins in July 2012, same-sex marriage was not yet legal in Colorado. The Oregon Court of Appeals in December upheld a $135,000 fi ne by the Ore- gon Bureau of Labor and Industries against Melissa and Aaron Klein, owners of Gresham’s Sweet Cakes by Melissa, for refusing to sell a wedding cake to lesbian cou- ple Rachel and Laurel Bow- man-Cryer in 2013. The Kleins have sought Corrections The East Oregonian works hard to be accurate and sincerely regrets any errors.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s June 4 ruling is unlikely to infl uence the outcome of the Sweet Cakes case because it applied narrowly to the details of the Colorado case, said Paul Thompson, attor- ney for the Bowman-Cryers. 0s showers t-storms 10s rain 20s flurries 30s 40s snow ice 50s 60s cold front 70s 80s 90s 100s warm front stationary front high low Yesterday’s National Extremes: (for the 48 contiguous states) High 108° in Carrizo Springs, Texas Low 27° in Chemult, Ore.

Attorney Adam Gus- tafson, who, along with national religious law fi rm First Liberty Institute, rep- resents the Kleins, disagreed with Thompson’s analysis. “The Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries deci- sion against the Kleins was tainted by the same anti-re- ligious bias that caused the U.S. Supreme Court to rule for Masterpiece Cakeshop on free exercise grounds,” Gus- tafson said. Gustafson was referenc- ing Facebook posts by Ore- gon Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian. Court doc- uments show that Avakian posted a link to a KGW arti- cle about the case and wrote: “Everyone has a right to their religious beliefs, but that doesn’t mean they can dis- obey laws that are already in place.” Jim Oleske, professor at Lewis & Clark Law School who fi led a friend-of-the- court brief in the case, said the kind of bias the Kleins are alleging is different from the anti-religious statements by members of the Colo- rado civil rights commission- ers and would have a higher standard of proof.

The video shows four offi cers converging on a man standing on a street, then pulling him to the ground, with three offi cers hold- ing his limbs and one strad- dling his back. As one offi - cer appears to struggle to force one of the man’s arms behind his back, another begins punching him in the head. Through the punches, the man, identifi ed as 28-year- old Kevin Straw, repeat- edly shouts “I am not resist- ing.” The video was shot by Portland, Oregon, TV station KGW. The American Civil Liberties Union and the state chapter of the Coun- cil on American-Islamic Relations both called for investigations. The Marion County Sher- iff’s Offi ce said the arrest happened Monday after Straw repeatedly shouted at offi cers involved in the search for two missing fi sh- ermen in the Detroit area. Oregon to lead national suit against CenturyLink SALEM (AP) — Ore- gon will lead a national class-action lawsuit against internet and TV provider CenturyLink, over allega- tions including fraudulent accounts and billing. The designation is the latest development after the 2017 beginning of the lawsuit, which alleged the company pushed employ- ees to secretly add services and charges to customer accounts. When the alle- gations came to light, Cen- turyLink stock declined sharply in value. A federal judge con- fi rmed that the troubled Oregon Public Employees Retirement Fund would be the lead plaintiff in the case. The Oregon trea- surer and attorney gen- eral announced the devel- opment Tuesday, saying the state had suffered $6 million in losses after the stock dive. Losses from the alleged actions are part of larger challenges facing state pension planners, as increasing pension bills have driven some munici- palities into dire budgetary straits.
