Backers drop gun storage initiative
By CLAIRE WITHYCOMBE
Capital Bureau
SALEM — Citing time
constraints, supporters of an
initiative petition to impose
new storage requirements on
gun owners say they won’t
try to put the issue before
voters this year after all.
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

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.

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.

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

Other taxes that could

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.
