TODAY
Today is Tuesday, March 23, the
82nd day of 2021. There are 283
days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On March 23, 1775, Patrick Hen-
ry delivered an address to the
Virginia Provincial Convention
in which he is said to have de-
clared, “Give me liberty, or give
me death!”
In 1792, Joseph Haydn’s Sym-
phony No. 94 in G Major (the
“Surprise” symphony) had its first
public performance in London.
In 1806, explorers Meriwether
Lewis and William Clark, having
reached the Pacific coast, began
their journey back east.
In 1919, Benito Mussolini found-
ed his Fascist political move-
ment in Milan, Italy.
In 1933, the German Reichstag
adopted the Enabling Act, which
effectively granted Adolf Hitler
dictatorial powers.
In 1942, the first Japanese
Americans evacuated by the
U.S. Army during World War II
arrived at the internment camp
in Manzanar, California.
In 1965, America’s first two-per-
son space mission took place
as Gemini 3 blasted off with
astronauts Virgil I. “Gus” Grissom
and John W. Young aboard for a
nearly 5-hour flight.
In 2004, a federal commission
concluded that Presidents
Clinton and Bush administration
officials had engaged in lengthy,
ultimately fruitless diplomatic
efforts instead of military action
to try to get Osama bin Laden
before the 9/11 attacks; top Bush
officials countered that the ter-
ror attacks would have occurred
even if the United States had
killed the al-Qaida leader.
In 2010, claiming a historic tri-
umph, President Barack Obama
signed the Affordable Care
Act, a $938 billion health care
overhaul.
Ten years ago: Academy
Award-winning actor Elizabeth
Taylor died in Los Angeles at age
79. NATO ships began patrolling
off Libya’s coast as airstrikes,
missiles and energized rebels
forced Moammar Gadhafi’s
tanks to roll back from two key
western cities.
Five years ago: Death
claimed former baseball play-
er-turned-broadcaster Joe Ga-
ragiola at age 90 and actor Ken
Howard at age 71.
One year ago: President Don-
ald Trump said he wanted to
reopen the country for business
in weeks, not months; he as-
serted that continued closures
could result in more deaths than
the coronavirus itself. Britain
became the latest European
country to go into effective
lockdown.

Pre-K, free college, climate: Biden
preps massive infrastructure bill
White House officials are
preparing to present President
Joe Biden with a $3 trillion in-
frastructure and jobs package
that includes numerous sweep-
ing domestic policy priorities,
according to people familiar
with internal discussions.
After completing the $1.9
trillion coronavirus relief pack-
age earlier this month, Biden
administration officials are
piecing together their next ma-
jor legislative priority. While
no final announcement has
been made, the White House
is expected to push a multi-
trillion jobs and infrastructure
plan as the centerpiece of the
president’s “Build Back Better”
agenda.
That effort is expected to be
broken into two parts — one
focused on infrastructure, and
the other focused on other
domestic priorities, such as
universal prekindergarten,

The lone incumbent run-
ning for reelection is Shawn
Hartfield, a COCC instruc-
tor who was appointed to the
board in 2015.
Her challenger is Stephanie
Hunter — a behavioral special-
ist who works with children
and adults with disabilities with
Redmond-based nonprofit Op-
portunity Foundation of Central
Oregon. Hunter also serves on
the Redmond School District’s
equity task force, according to
Deschutes County documents.
The board’s second seat has
four candidates — the most for
any school board race in Cen-
tral Oregon this year.
The candidates are stay-at-
home mom Lacey Butts, Bank
of America Redmond assistant
branch manager Michelle Sa-
linas, flooring company owner
Michael Summers and Michelle
Visinoni, an office assistant and
former preschool teacher. None
of these four candidates has
held elected office, according to
county documents.
The third Redmond board
seat has three candidates. One
is Jill Cummings, the vice pres-
ident and market develop-
ment officer for Summit Bank.
Health care administrator La-
von Medlock is also running,

Many details of the plan were
first reported by The New York
Times. The people, who spoke
on the condition of anonym-
ity to describe private conver-
sations, stressed planning was
preliminary and subject to
change. Some aides stressed
that the final price-tag of the
package remained unclear.
The infrastructure part of
the plan includes hundreds of
billions of dollars for repair-
ing the nation’s roads, bridges,

in that race, out of nine candi-

The seat of former board
Chair Tim Carpenter — who
abruptly resigned from the
Redmond School Board on
Wednesday — was initially go-
ing to be filled by appointment.
However, Deschutes County
Clerk Nancy Blankenship ruled
the seat must be filled by the
voters in this year’s election.
Those interested in Carpen-
ter’s seat must file by March 26,
said school district spokesper-
son Sheila Miller.
If Suppah and Stacona both
win seats, a majority of Jefferson

population being majority non-
white, only one board member,

With 12-year-incum-

board since 2017, will face
Lorien Stacona, a case manager
for the Confederated Tribes of

The third seat up for grabs
was vacated by incumbent
Tom Norton Jr., who did not
file for reelection. Madras

WASHINGTON — The
Supreme Court said Mon-
day it will consider reinstating
the death sentence for Boston
Marathon bomber Dzhokhar
Tsarnaev, presenting President
Joe Biden
with an early
test of his op-
position to
capital pun-
ishment.
The jus-
tices agreed
Tsarnaev
to hear an
appeal filed
by the Trump administration,
which carried out executions
of 13 federal inmates in its final
six months in office, including
three in the last week of Presi-
dent Donald Trump’s term.
The case won’t be heard un-
til the fall, and it’s unclear how
the new administration will
approach Tsarnaev’s case. The
initial prosecution and deci-
sion to seek a death sentence
was made by the Obama ad-
ministration, in which Biden
served as vice president.
Biden has pledged to seek an
end to the federal death pen-
alty, but he has said nothing
about how he plans to do so.
In just over two months in
office, the new administration
has reversed its predecessor’s
position in several high court
cases. But the Justice Depart-
ment has not notified the court
of any change in its position in
Tsarnaev’s case.
Even if the court were to
reinstate the death sentence,
nothing would force Biden to
schedule an execution date.
White House press secre-
tary Jen Psaki did not say how
Biden or his administration
would approach the case.

includes funding for retro-
fitting buildings, safety im-
provements, schools infra-
structure, and low-income

$100 billion for schools and
