On October 23, 2007, a 12 person jury convicted
David Leroy Brow n, Jr., 37, of Burglary in the first degree,
Assault III aqd Assault IV.
The trial began on October 19, 2007 and went into
the evening hours before it was continued to October 23.
After hearing closing arguments, the jury deliberated for
less than an hour before reaching a verdict.
The charges stemmed from a July 10, 2007 incident
where Brown unlawfully entered a dwelling and assaulted
the victim, while being aided by another person. Circuit
Court Judge Ronald Pahl sentenced Brown to the Depart
ment of Corrections for 51 months on the Burglary I charge
and 13 months on the Assault III charge. The time will
run concurrently. The Assault IV and Assault III charges
merged for purposes of sentencing. Additional sentence
terms included three years of post-prison supervision and
recommendations to the board of Supervision that Brown
have no contact w ith his victim, write a letter of apology
to his victim, and pay joint and several restitution for the
victim's medical expenses of $958.
Brown was found not guilty of lesser charge. Stran
gulation, and was acquitted of Menacing.

For the past few weeks all of us have been bom
barded with TV ads and letters about the good and the
bad about Measure 50, the proposed tobacco tax on this
November’s ballot. Measure 50’s promoters say it is about
children’s health care. I personally am in favor of all Or
egonians having quality health care. When we look at both
sides of the issue and all the available information, 1 have
come to realize that Measure 50 is not the answer.
Only 30% of the proposed tobacco tax will be
expended for “Health for Kids.” The other 70% will go
for contracts to corporations. Why do you think the big
insurance companies are backing Measure 50? Yes, they
will get the lions share.
Another problem with Measure 50 is the tobacco
tax is in the Oregon Constitution, it can’t be fixed without
another vote of the people. A tobacco tax does not belong
in our constitution just as other products don’t belong in
the constitution.
Starting in 1999, Oregon has received hundreds
of millions of dollars from the huge settlement from a
national tobacco lawsuit. Why couldn’t that money go to
“Health for Kids”?
Recent studies by economists have determined that
the health care cost will exceed tobacco tax revenues by
over $200,000,000 in a few short years. With this huge
deficit, the legislature will either cut the children off their
health or ask us non-smokers to somehow pick up the
tab.
Another reason for voting NO on Measure 50 is
that low income families w ith a smoker would be affected
the hardest. That would be counter productive.
All Oregonians need to have quality health care.
The fact that money from Measure 50 won’t go to the
kids, the no-bid contracts, the wasted tobacco lawsuit
money, the future funding deficit and the unprecedented
constitutional amendment just is not a good way to fund
health care of kids.
So, join me in voting "NO" on Measure 50.
