Gaston also said Brown supported campaign finance reform in the 2015 legisla- tive session, and that she “will continue to push to make sure everyone’s voice is heard.” THE؏MAN! 30s Today ADVERTISING Regional Publisher and Revenue Director: Christopher Rush 541-278-2669 • crush@eomediagroup.com Advertising Services: Grace Bubar 541-276-2214 • gbubar@eastoregonian.com Multimedia Consultants: • Kimberly Macias 541-278-2683 • kmacias@eastoregonian.com • Jeanne Jewett 541-564-4531 • jjewett@eastoregonian.com • Dayle Stinson 541-278-2670 • dstinson@eastoregonian.com • Angela Treadwell 541-966-0827 • atreadwell@eastoregonian.com • Audra Workman 541-564-4538 • aworkman@eastoregonian.com Th e Husband, Th e Father, Th e Grandfather, Th e Great-Grandfather 20s Yesterday’s National Extremes: (for the 48 contiguous states) High 113° in Altus, Okla.

Susan Combs, a senior adviser to Interior Secre- tary Ryan Zinke, told a Senate committee Thurs- day that Zinke is commit- ted to moving the Bureau of Land Management headquarters from Wash- ington to the West. The bureau is part of Zinke’s department. Combs offered no hints about where the new head- quarters will be. The bureau manages nearly 388,000 square miles nationwide, and 99 percent is in 12 Western states. Many Western leaders say the bureau’s headquar- ters should be closer to the land it manages. Zinke, a former Montana congress- man, agrees. Some bureau veterans question the plan, saying the agency needs a pres- ence in Washington. VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — The Clark County Sheriff’s Office has fired a deputy who was photo- graphed wearing apparel affiliated with the Proud Boys, a far-right group known for white national- ist rhetoric. The Columbian news- paper reports Deputy Erin Willey was let go Tues- day after an internal inves- tigation that began when the office was shown a photograph of her wear- ing a hooded sweatshirt with a logo that includes a switchblade, lipstick and an abbreviation for Proud Boys’ Girls. Willey is also shown in a second photo- graph shared on a Proud Boys-affiliated Twitter page, which included her contact information for buying Proud Boys’ Girls merchandise. Willey did not return the newspaper’s request for comment. Undersheriff Mike Cooke declined to discuss the investigation, saying it’s a personnel issue. THANK YOU!
