- ➤ On September 17, the Oregon Senate will vote on House Bill 3991 — a bill that would raise the gas tax from 40 cents to 46 cents per gallon and increase vehicle fees and the payroll transit tax to make up for a $290 million shortfall at the Department of Transportation. If passed, the bill will generate about $4.3 billion over ten years — a change that may raise monthly costs for households and small businesses. The Grants Pass Tribune

A new take on hydration
For those tracking hydration, sodium intake is key. A growing wave of research suggests that optimal health may require sodium levels two to three times higher than traditional guidelines.
That’s where LMNT comes in. This zero-sugar electrolyte mix offers a science-backed boost without the additives. Popular among athletes, intermittent fasters, and wellness-minded parents alike, it's redefining how people stay hydrated.
Try LMNT totally risk-free and get a free LMNT Sample Pack with any purchase. Pro tip: If you don’t like it, they’ll refund your order, no questions asked.
