A Few Reads for Sunday

 An Oregon man who was murdered by a serial killer years ago has been identified.

Kraft, now 80, was convicted in 1989 of brutalizing and killing 16 men over a decade in California and sentenced to death. He remains incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison and has denied killing anyone.

On July 18, 1980, police responded to a report of a body now identified as Parks along I-5 south of Portland near Woodburn. Police opened a homicide investigation at the time and unsuccessfully tried to identify the victim.

According to a post I read on FB, Senator Chuck  Schumer has stated that the SAVE Act is dead on arrival in the Senate.  There are not enough votes to make the 60-vote threshold.   Which is why I think the House passed it--the Republicans there KNEW it would fail to clear the Senate because of its potential undercutting of women's right to vote.  They could pander to the xenophobes of their base but know the Senate would never pass the legislation.  It is typical political theater.
