On this day, March 28, 1942, Japanese-American lawyer Minoru Yasui (1916-1986) violated a military curfew in Portland, Oregon, and demanded to be arrested after he was refused enlistment to fight for the US. He was one of the few Japanese Americans who fought laws that directly targeted Japanese Americans or Japanese immigrants following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. In 2015 he was among 17 people awarded the presidential Medal of Freedom.

Also on this day March 28, 1939, the front page of the Eugene Register-Guard blared the headline: "Mighty Oregon Scramble Ohio State to Take Hoop Title of All America," right under a declaration that the Spanish War had ended, of course.

DEQ Announces Electric Vehicle Rules Update
Requires All New Vehicles to be Zero Emissions by 2035

The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality under the direction of Interim Director Leah Feldon has announced its Advanced Clean Cars II Proposed Rule which center around making the sale of internal combustion engines illegal by the year 2035.

The newly proposed rules are an update to an existing rule containing a leviathan list of definitions.

In a presentation to the legislature, The DEQ says that "These rules are a critical component to achieving state’s GHG reduction goals" and that these rules are "Closely linked to other DEQ programs" including Climate Protection Program, Clean Fuels Program and Advanced Clean Trucks

According to the presentation, the rules can be summarized:

The proposed rule is merely an update of the list of definitions from the current rule as well as the "cut-and-paste" adoption of California Non-Methane Organic Gas Test Procedures. It will limit and ultimately ban the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles by the year 2035 -- a mere 12 years from now.

The included graph shows the expected decline in sales and "on-road" operation of internal combustion vehicles in Oregon in future years. Experts have questioned the expectations behind the graph and the resulting trends portrayed.
