Wash. Considers Annual Flat Fee for Electric Cars
By not in system - AOL NewsOLYMPIA, Wash. -- Drivers of electric cars may have left the gas pump behind, but there's one expense they may not be able to shake: paying to maintain the roads. Ted S. Warren, AP General Services Administration chief Martha Johnson tours an electric vehicle charging station at Bellevue City Hall in Bellevue, Wash., on Wednesday. Electric car advocates say the state risks alienating users of the cars with proposed legislation that would impose a $100 annual fee on electric cars to make up for lost gas tax revenue. After years of urging residents to buy fuel-efficient cars and ...
Special Delivery! Oregon Mailman Caught Defecating in Citizen's Yard
By Steven Hoffer - AOL NewsPeople get a lot of crap in the mail, but usually not directly from the mailman. An Oregon postal worker has been suspended without pay after he was literally caught with his pants around his ankles, defecating in one of the yards along his delivery route. According to KGW News, Portland resident Don Derfler was home baby-sitting his son last week when he spotted the mailman going potty -- as opposed to postal -- across the street by his neighbor's house. "He started pulling his pants down and started defecating, and at that point I grabbed my camera and started to take pictures," ...
Thousands Evacuate Amid Tsunami Warnings Along West Coast, Hawaii
By Mara Gay - AOL NewsThousands of people were ordered to evacuate their homes in Hawaii and along the U.S. West Coast today amid warnings that tsunami waves generated by a powerful earthquake in Japan were rolling toward the coastline. Tsunami sirens rang out in Hawaii today as residents scrambled to buy supplies and leave beach areas for higher ground, fearing that a powerful wall of water like the 23-foot wave that slammed the Japanese coastline today could be headed for the Hawaiian islands. Cities and towns in California and Oregon were evacuated as well. So far, the waves along the U.S. coastline have been ...
Cops: Woman Smeared Poop on Bus Driver's Seat
By Ben Muessig - AOL NewsThe bathroom is usually located at the back of the bus -- not in the front. But police in Portland, Ore., say that didn't stop an 18-year-old high school student from turning a city bus into a portable potty by smearing feces on the driver's seat and steering wheel. Gloria C. Soto has been charged with felony criminal mischief and interfering with public transportation for boarding the TriMet bus on Feb. 21 and allegedly wiping what police believe to be dog poop in the driver's compartment, The Oregonian reports. The dirty deed was committed aboard a No. 62 at the Sunset Transit Center ...

A Game for the Ages That Really Wasn't
By Kevin Blackistone - AOL NewsGLENDALE, Ariz. – For the umpteenth time Monday night, but this time with the game tied and just over two minutes left, Auburn from its own 40 on first down called for Cam Newton to run an inside zone read to the right side. He handed off to Michael Dyer, and five yards later Oregon's Eddie Pleasant wrapped up Dyer and spun him to the ground. Everyone stopped. "The next thing I knew," Auburn guard Mike Berry said, "he (Dyer) just started running again." And a flock of Ducks took off after him. They didn't catch him before he'd run another 32 yards to Oregon's 23-yard line. Five plays ...
Auburn-Oregon Party, Tucson Tragedy = An Emotional 3 Days for Arizona
By Carla Baranauckas - Politics DailyIn a cruel twist of timing, the eyes of the nation focused on Arizona on Monday – not because of the Tucson shooting rampage Saturday that left six dead and 14 wounded. Instead, the center of attention had moved by Monday afternoon about 125 miles north to Glendale, where the BCS national championship game was played. Certainly the day was filled with reflection and remembrances related to the devastating attack on U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and people who had stopped at a shopping center to visit with her. "Arizona is in pain, yes," Gov. Jan Brewer said Monday. "Our grief is ...
Tucson Tragedy Hangs Over BCS Finale
By Kevin Blackistone - AOL NewsSCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – For once, maybe it was a good thing that this edition of college football's arranged marriage disguised as a national championship was scheduled to kickoff in Glendale, Ariz., Monday night, roughly a month after the regular season concluded. Accidentally, it may provide a moment's diversion for the people of Arizona -- ground zero for Saturday's mass murder that rocked all of us -- from all the sadness for the six people killed and 13 wounded. Flags around the state, like those at the Camelback Inn Resort in Scottsdale, Ariz., where the BCS conspirators (officials ...
Slaying of Police Chief Stuns Oregon Town
By not in system - AOL NewsRAINIER, Ore. (AP) - Rainier police chief Ralph Painter responded to a call about an attempted car theft at 10:47 a.m. Less than an hour later he was dead from a gunshot wound - this town's first officer to die in the line of duty. What happened inside the stereo-installation business where Painter was killed Wednesday morning remains shrouded behind the investigation into Painter's death, but police disclosed some details and said that an area man was in custody in a Portland hospital, injured by a police bullet.
