Nearly five years after Washington voters approved the legalization of recreational marijuana use for adults, the issue is far from settled.
Racism should be given no quarter in American society today. It has no place in our language and customs. But in a country that was birthed in racial prejudice and nursed on it for nearly 200 years, shedding generations of slang terms, place names and symbols is no small housecleaning project.

I am bitterly disappointed in the decision by House Democratic leaders to stonewall common-sense solutions on water rights and the capital budget after achieving several milestones in other areas such as mental health treatment and education funding.

Oregon has long been known as a mecca for high-quality marijuana, but that reputation has come with a downside. Illegal growers offer huge amounts of cash to lease or buy land and then leave behind pollution, garbage and a drained water table. A bill passed by the Oregon Legislature seeks to tackle that by making the landowners themselves responsible for the aftermath. The bill prohibits using rivers or groundwater at the illegal sites. It also makes it a crime to seize the identity papers of migrant workers who tend the plants. Democratic Gov. Tina Kotek is expected to sign it next week.

A judge overseeing the case against a man charged with killing four University of Idaho students is set to hear arguments over a gag order that largely bars attorneys and other parties in the case from speaking with news reporters. A coalition of more than 30 media organizations has challenged the order, saying it violates the Constitution’s guarantees of free speech and a free press. A lawyer for one of the victim’s families has also made that argument in the case set to be heard Friday. But prosecutors and the defendant’s lawyers insist it’s needed to prevent prejudicial news coverage that could damage Bryan Kohberger's right to a fair trial.
