Fauna was grieving the recent death of her brother, Dallas, when she set off on what her family believes was both a healing trip and a mission to deliver gifts, silver coins inherited from Dallas, to a few friends. But somewhere between motel check-ins and checkouts, something went terribly wrong.

Her Jeep was found months later. She was never seen again. http://bit.ly/4l63Dle

Oregon, you’ve been busy.

As of last night, the gas tax referendum has collected more than 150,000 signatures. That is a significant show of public interest and puts real pressure on Tina Kotek to address how Oregonians are feeling about rising transportation costs.

With so many people stepping forward to sign, the big question now is what comes next. The Governor and state officials will have decisions to make, and this level of response shows that many residents are paying close attention.

Whether you support the referendum or not, this turnout says one thing clearly: Oregonians want a say in how transportation funding and taxes are handled moving forward.

How do you feel about the gas tax increase? Do you support the referendum effort, or do you think the tax is necessary for road and infrastructure projects?

Let us know your thoughts.
