Supporters of Initiative Petition 44 are withdrawing the petition, they announced Wednesday. They plan to refile for the 2020 ballot and lobby the legislature to pass the measure in next year’s long legislative session. Supporters of the petition said they didn’t have enough time to collect the 88,184 signatures required to get the measure on the ballot by the July 6 deadline. “We are not discouraged and look forward to work- ing with legislators to pass this important measure in the 2019 session,” Henry Wessinger, one of the chief petitioners on the measure, said in a prepared statement. Another petition that would place restrictions on what types of firearms Ore- gonians can own — Initia- tive Petition 43 — faces the Columbia Sportswear CEO donates $146,000 for clean highways PORTLAND (AP) — Columbia Sportswear CEO Tim Boyle says Oregon has a green and clean image, and that should extend to its highways. The help the cause, Boyle just donated $146,000 to the Oregon Department of Transportation to remove EO Media Group Supporters of IP 44, a proposed ballot measure that would require gun owners to secure weapons in a lock box or by using a trigger or cable lock, say they don’t have enough time to gather signatures to get the mea- sure on November’s ballot. same deadline. Its ballot title is still caught up in the courts, so the petition can’t be circu- lated for signatures yet. As of two weeks ago, supporters of that campaign were still sanguine about their prospects to gather the needed signatures in time. Rev. W.J. Mark Knut- son, of Portland’s Augustana Lutheran Church, who is a chief petitioner of IP 43, says supporters are still “tremen- dously” optimistic about the petition’s prospects. The Lift Every Voice cam- paign has trained 700 peo- ple to train even more peo- ple in how to properly gather signatures, Knutson said. He believes the campaign has laid the groundwork to quickly get enough signa- tures, from having a printer ready to print petitions at a moment’s notice to holding litter from Portland high- ways. The money will allow the state to clean up litter more frequently along U.S Highway 26 as well as along Interstate 405 and other Portland freeways. Boyle and state transpor- tation officials announced the plan in a news release this week. The Oregonian/Oregon- Live reports that it appears to be the first time a private donor has cut a check to the state for this type of project. Ex-Oregon State student indicted in tweet-threat case Imagine The Difference You Can Make DONATE YOUR CAR 1-844-533-9173 FREE TOWING TAX DEDUCTIBLE PORTLAND (AP) — An ex-student accused of threat- ening a shooting at Oregon State University has been indicted on a federal charge. Christopher Strahan is scheduled to be arraigned in Eugene next week on a sin- gle count of making threat- ening communications. Authorities were alerted in February of threatening signature-gathering trainings throughout the state. And he says the political atmosphere is primed for the petition, about four months after a gunman at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School killed 17 people in Parkland, Fla., galvanizing a new wave of gun control activism. “It’s one of those moments in time when people are ready to act,” Knutson said of the initiative. “There’s an anxiousness to move, not to wait.” The campaign is focusing on the weekend before Inde- pendence Day — they’re calling it a “signature sab- bath” — as a key period in which to gather signatures. Initiative Petition 44 would have required gun owners to secure their fire- arms in a lock box or using a trigger or cable lock. It would also require them to report if one of their guns is stolen or lost within 24 hours of learning of the theft or loss. Failure to comply with those requirements would be considered a violation, not a crime. tweets posted by username “Hard Belly Dorm.” Detec- tives identified the 22-year- old Strahan as the owner of the username and arrested him. Strahan had been arrested a year earlier for threatening a campus shooting. Strahan pleaded guilty to second-de- gree disorderly conduct, and was sentenced to 20 days in jail and probation. Strahan attended Oregon State from 2014 to 2017. He was a junior when he left.

EO Media Group A measure to ban taxes on everything related to the sale and distribution of food that has qualified for the Oregon November ballot would be a first in the nation. Ban on taxing food would be a first By PARIS ACHEN Capital Bureau A corporate-funded ballot measure that would block junk-food and sug- ary-drink taxes and freeze the state’s corporate mini- mum tax for certain com- panies qualified for the Nov. 6 ballot this week. What will be identified as Measure 103 would amend the Oregon Con- stitution and set a national precedent by barring all taxes on the sale or distri- bution of groceries. Large grocery chains — Kroger, Albertsons, Safeway and Costco — and others have contrib- uted about $2.5 million to the political action com- mittee attempting to make the constitutional change. The ballot measure would prevent implemen- tation of a Multnomah County tax on sodas and other sugary drinks. It could even repeal the state’s bottle deposit fee, which is meant to encour- age recycling of spent bev- erage containers and other taxes, according to a legal Ultimate Hawaii Save up to $ Tour with Pearl Harbor Experience per couple Children ·Custody ·Support ·Property ·Bills Division legalalt@msn.com 503-772-5295 900 Departs weekly year-round 13 days from TM Complete Preparation Includes: analysis conducted by Portland law firm Stolle Berne for Our Oregon. Other taxes that could be repealed under the constitutional amend- ment include the fuel tax, which pays for roads, local restaurant taxes and portions of a hospital pro- vider tax voters approved in January to maintain the state’s Medicaid program. Proponents have cast the measure as a way to prevent additional cost to low-income families and seniors on a limited budget. Mary King, professor of economics emerita at Portland State University, said the ballot measure is “a massive, unprece- dented carve-out for some of the biggest retailers in the world that will apply to far more than just the food they sell.” Backers of the proposal have acknowledged that the measure still allows taxes on other basic necessities such as dia- pers, medicine and femi- nine hygiene products, yet restaurant food would not. $ 1,799 * Promo code N7017 1-866-881-0353 *Prices are per person based on double occupancy plus $ 299 taxes & fees.
