Transmission rate increases of 26 percent to 44 percent would be passed directly to industrial and residential consumers. On May 23, the White House fiscal 2018 budget included a cryptic entry for the sale of the Bonneville Power Administration's transmission assets. The proposed revenues from the sale are only 80 percent of the value of the assets being sold. This raises the question of why these valuable assets should be sold at a discount — and who would get the benefit of the discounted price. If the sale goes through, it also will raise novel regulatory issues. In the most likely scenario, the proposed sale could increase transmission rates by 44 percent. In a less likely scenario, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission might be persuaded to reduce the assessed value of the transmission assets to the proposed sale price, since the Trump administration proposes to sell the transmission system at a loss.

Hugh Mcgilvra Talk on Washington County Newspapers and Forest Grove History for the Tualatin Valley Historical Society
Hugh McGilvra Talk on Washington County Newspapers and Forest Grove History for the Tualatin Valley Historical Society An audio recording of Hugh McGilvra, journalist and newspaper publisher in Forest Grove, giving a talk to the Tualatin Plains Historical Society on the occasion of his 50th anniversary of work. He talks about the newspaper history of Washington County for the first 25 minutes; the final 27 minutes are about his experiences working on the newspaper in Forest Grove and the community there. HM = Hugh McGilvra [00:00:00] [Recording begins mid-sentence] [HM]: ...practically everything in Forest Grove is that you don't know which is the egg and which is the chicken as far as Forest Grove and Pacific University are related. Historically, we know that they are intertwined and there has always been a relationship. I think as has been suggested by the introduction, that journalism in Washington County goes back to this date of about 1848. With a rather irregular publication of what was known as the Oregon American and the Evangelical Union, started in Tualatin Plains. Even if we ignore this rather odd publication as a real newspaper, there of course is still the Oregonian, which was actually started in Washington County, if you want to get your history straight. For a while, Multnomah County was not carved up into Washington and Clackamas County, until 4 years after the Oregonian made its [bow?] in 1850. This new county of Multnomah wasn't very highly -- was formed in spite of vigorous opposition of the Oregonian. Which regarded it as merely an opportunity for getting whatever the 1854 equivalent of the serving Democrats happened to be to get the opportunity for another office.

Small Donor Elections Letter to the Editor Guide
Small Donor Elections Letter to the Editor Guide Tips before you get started: ● Be respectful ● Be personal - talk about why money in politics matters to you personally. Do you feel like corporations and developers have too much influence in your community? Do you feel like your representatives listen to their donors more than their constituents like you? Do you feel like good candidates don’t have the resources to run for office? ● Be direct - keep your letter brief and to the point, and where appropriate, mention your legislator by name ● Be timely - when possible, submit a letter that directly responds to or builds on another recent article or current event. ● Know where you are submitting - different news outlets have different word count guidelines. How to write a Letter to the Editor (LTE): 1. Always start off by telling a short “story of self” (one to two sentences) that connects you to a specific issue or value, so that folks know who you are and why you’re writing. a. Example: I grew up in Oregon and I’ve noticed that over the past decade, our elected officials have become out of touch and listen more to their wealthy donors than they do to their constituents like me. 2. Explain the problem in more detail, or talk about the consequences of the problem. a. Example: While wealthy donors, like landlords and real estate developers, have been using their campaign contributions and influence to block rent stabilization policies in Salem, people in my community are being evicted from their homes. 3. Explain your solution and/or opinion about the solution.

The Agate Fall 2018.Indd
— Fall 2018 — JEFFERSON COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY CONTENTS THE WHITE BUFFALO, A SCHOOL PAPER FOR THE AGES REVIEW OF NETFLIX WILD, WILD COUNTRY AGATE WINS AWARD WESTSIDE PROJECT UPDATE N.S. 10 Dear Agate Readers, OU’RE HOLDING THE TENTH ISSUE of THE AGATE, a journal of local (Jeff erson County and Central Oregon) history for (mainly) local Y readers. Supported by the Jeff erson County Historical Society and distributed by the Madras Pioneer to its readership, THE AGATE is the only publication of its kind in Central Oregon. There’s nothing essentially magical about the number ten, but we’re proud of carrying on twice a year for fi ve years now, a run capped earlier this year by the Oregon Heritage Commission giving THE AGATE its “Award for Excellence”— the only Oregon publication so honored. We’re especially keen on this issue, with its focus on the extraordinary history Jeﬀ erson County Historical of the Madras High School newspaper, the White Buff alo, and its peerless adviser Society Oﬃ cers, Directors E. Howard Hillis. The “WB” attained and held national recognition, including 22 President: Lottie Holcomb • 541-475-7488 “All American” ratings between 1958 and 1971; and we are thrilled and honored to be publishing here the essay by Margaret McBride Lehrman, who went from V. President: Betty Fretheim • 541-475-0583 working on the “WB” with Howard Hillis to becoming an Emmy-winning Secretary: Jennie Smith • 541-475-1159 director of NBC national news. Perhaps no one ever thought of seriously covering Treasurer: Elaine Henderson • 541-475-2306 the history of a high school newspaper until now—but then it’s likely that there David Campbell • 541-475-7327 has never been a school paper quite like the White Buff alo in its prime years.
