Oregon Tax Kicker Percentage Corrected

Even if you don't have a filing obligation for 2017, you still have to file a 2017 tax return to claim your credit.

The surplus will be returned to taxpayers through a credit on their 2017 state personal income tax returns filed in 2018.

Legendary Rocker Tom Petty Remembered with Love and Laughter

A young landscaper learned to ask before moving Tom Petty's tree.

(SALEM, Ore.) - On Oct. 2, we heard the shocking news that rock music legend Tom Petty had suffered cardiac arrest at his Malibu home and was on life support. This, just after the painful tragedy and loss of life at Las Vegas, seemed surreal, even unfathomable.

Not long later, an announcement no one wanted to hear: Tom Petty had died.

Athens vs. Mondoweiss

Mondweiss seems utterly confused by Miko Peled’s momentary endorsement of universal freedom of speech.

(LONDON) - In my new book, Being in Time – A Post Political Manifesto, I delve into the clear distinction between Athens and Jerusalem. Athens is the capitol of philosophy.

In Athens we think things through. Jerusalem, on the other hand, is the city of laws that set the boundaries of correct thinking. In Jerusalem we obey first and think later.

US Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah and Congressman Tom Marino Exposed

Hatch has sealed the report and it has never been made public.

(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) - This is the email I sent to every Attorney General today and people in high places:

It has not been a coincidence that in the past couple of years my articles for Salem-News.com and Global News Centre.com have focused on US Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah and Congressman Tom Marino of Pennsylvania. They are now exposed for their contribution to the Tsunami of prescription opioid addictions and deaths ravaging our country.

Oregon Used Car Buyers Urged to Check for Storm Damage

Water-damaged vehicles may be sold to unwary buyers

(SALEM, Ore.) - Vehicles in this active hurricane season can make their way across the country to Oregon and put up for sale as undamaged vehicles.

Sometimes buyers are aware a vehicle was damaged in some way, but they may be unaware the damage was caused by flooding. Often buyers discover the vehicle history when they receive a new title with a “flood damage” brand or “totaled” brand.

Schrader Slams Trump Announcement to End Cost Lowering Health Care Payments as Pure Spite

There is no practical or necessary reason...other than to deliberately and actively take away health care.

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) - Congressman Kurt Schrader (OR-05) issued the following statement in response to the President’s announcement to stop cost sharing reduction (CSR) payments for the individual health insurance exchange. It’s estimated that ending CSR payments will hike exchange-plan premiums an average of 20 percent.

"...But his actions today, which do nothing but purposely strip people of health care, speak so much louder than hollow words. It is time for Congress to reassert itself and legislate a bipartisan solution for millions of Americans."

Saying Goodbye to Cannabis Warrior Nurse Ed Glick

She wasn't afraid to jump into the chaos and do challenging work if it meant a good outcome for patients

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - R.I.P. Julia Effie Glick. One of my dearest friends and comrades passed yesterday after suffering from kidney disease.

Many in the cannabis community knew her as Nurse Ed Glick who was a tireless proponent for the rights and ethical treatment of seriously-ill patients who use cannabis. She was intolerant of a system that lacked compassion and decency and she picked her battles wisely.

Hamas Can Achieve the Right to Work For Palestinians in Lebanon by Reconciling With Fatah and Iran

Previous reconciliations between Hamas and Fatah have failed to materialize.

(DAMASCUS) - A deal has been agreed to by rival Palestinian factions Hamas and Fatah during this month’s Cairo Reconciliation talks.

They announced that details would be announced later, but despite the agreement, it is doubtful that substantive progress will result. Or that this time the results will differ much from the preceding half-dozen still-born ones over the past decade.
