On this day, June 6, 2012, authorities in Oregon confirmed that a 66-foot-long pier, that floated onto a beach near Newport, came from Japan following the tsunami in March 2011.

Also on this day, June 7, 2011, in Oregon City, Oregon, Timothy and Rebecca Wyland were convicted of felony criminal mistreatment for refusing to get medical treatment for their infant daughter Alayna. The Wylands belong to a church that only believes in faith healing, and although their daughter had a growth on one eye that nearly blinded her, they would not take her to a doctor. The state intervened and made sure Alayna did receive medical treatment. The Wylands are sentenced at the end of June, they face up to five years in jail.

Also on this day, June 6, 1967, Oregon Governor Tom McCall signed into law a fix to Oregon's iconic beach access law. A 1966 challenge had exposed a flaw in the 1913 bill which technically protected only the wet sands as public. The Highway Department aimed to fix the loophole during the 1967 legislative session with House Bill 1601.

Senator Linthicum Declares All Businesses Essential
People rely on jobs to feed their families

Oregon Republican Senator Dennis Linthicum has issued a statement about the unconstitutional government response to COVID-19 that has led to the destruction of Oregonians’ livelihoods while big government has grown exponentially.

“Oregonians’ constitutional rights are under attack with the never-ending statewide lockdowns that cause significant destruction. Governor Kate Brown and her bureaucratic demolition crew continue to ladle cash and benefits to their own, while penalizing small business owners, especially those in the food service industry. Oregonians across all economic classes are being horrifically harmed by the governor’s crafty, pernicious, and unconstitutional mandates.

“Every business is essential because every business employs people who rely on their jobs to feed their families. With COVID-19 as the scapegoat, the government has created arbitrary rules that determine winners and losers in its preparation to invade every aspect of Oregonians’ lives, eliminating free enterprise and American liberty in the process. Logical, data-driven and science-based policy decisions, rationally understood, would not put Oregonians in this predicament, especially when the infection fatality rate is startlingly low.

“Led by Gov. Brown, the government has prioritized its gluttonous coffers over the hardworking Oregonians who pay their salaries.

“The detrimental impacts inflicted by Gov. Brown’s public health and government chums will take decades to repair and the only solution is to free Oregonians so they may to get back to their own lives.”
