By TOM JAMES Associated Press SALEM — Oregon Secretary of State Den- nis Richardson says he will remain in office after being diagnosed with brain cancer. Richardson announced the diagnosis Wednesday in a statement. Richardson said he was optimistic, and that the discovery, made in May, had caught the dis- ease early. In a short video posted on social media, Richard- son, who is 68, emphasized that he would continue in his official capacity, and would be working a full schedule. “I am going to con- tinue, I absolutely will ful- fill my responsibilities,” Richardson said. “Every- Corrections Tom Hebert’s June 2 column “Toward a Peace Corps House in Washington, D.C.” incorrectly noted the organi- zation a Peace Corps House would share space with.

PORTLAND — A pro- posed ballot measure that would restrict ownership of assault weapons and large-ca- pacity magazines wound up in the Oregon Supreme Court after a gun rights proponent on Wednesday petitioned for a review of the ballot title, say- ing it was politically charged and deceptive. The state’s high court received the review one day before the deadline, said Phil- lip Lemman of the Oregon Judicial Department. The topic has become incendiary amid a flood of school shoot- ings, many of them carried out with AR-15 semi-automatic assault rifles. Backers of the statewide initiative told a news confer- ence in a church in Portland they are ready to launch a statewide campaign to gather enough signatures to put the measure on the November ballot as soon as the court fin- ishes its deliberations. “We want to move for- ward and give Oregonians the chance to vote,” said Pastor Mark Knutson of the Augus- tana Lutheran Church, one of the three chief petitioners. “We are ready. As an organi- zation we are building tremen- dous capacity throughout the state to get the 88,000 signa- tures that are required in the time that we are given, by July 6.” The campaigners are counting on the participation of youth, who protested across the nation to demand stricter gun laws, to help gather sig- natures, and on places of AP Photo/Andrew Selsky Pastor Mark Knutson of the Augustana Lutheran Church speaks at a news con- ference in Portland on Wednesday about a proposed ballot measure that would restrict ownership of assault weapons and large-capacity magazines. The matter wound up in the Oregon Supreme Court after a gun-rights proponent on Wednes- day petitioned for a review of the ballot title, saying it was politically charged and deceptive. worship. In his request to the Supreme Court for a review, gun rights advocate Roger Beyer said the ballot language “uses the politically charged and emotionally laden words, ‘assault weapons,’ and ‘large capacity magazines.’ The description is also misleading, argumentative, and deceptive because it implies the measure applies only to a limited and belligerent group of ‘assault weapons’ gun owners.” The proposed measure, known as Initiative Petition 43, would go before voters in the November election if enough verified signatures are collected in time. If on the bal- lot, a “yes” vote would require registration with the Oregon State Police of “assault weap- ons,” defined to include cer- EARTHLINK INTERNET HIGH SPEED INTERNET Get a $ 100 AT&T Visa® Reward Card † when you sign up for DIRECTV SELECT ™ Package or above.

In the press conference in Knutson’s church, Knutson joined with a rabbi and a Mus- lim imam to announce that from Friday, June 29 through Sunday, July 1, a signa- ture-gathering campaign will be launched at churches, syn- agogues and mosques around the state — if the Supreme Court has finished assessing the request for review. State law says the court’s review “shall be conducted expeditiously” so the signa- tures can be collected.
