    November 3, 2020 The Honorable Kate Brown Governor of Oregon The State Capitol 900 Court Street, NE Salem, Oregon 97301 Dear Governor Brown, We understand that you're hearing from the alcohol industry regarding your proposed beer and wine tax legislation for the 2021 session. We are writing to make clear that our organizations wholly support prioritizing the health and wellness of our communities by raising the price of alcohol and using that revenue to make significant investments in addiction prevention, treatment and recovery services. In the last twenty years Oregon's alcohol mortality rate has increased 34%, leading to five deaths per day resulting from alcohol, while Oregon's beer and wine industries have enjoyed some of the lowest taxes in the nation. The economic cost of this crisis is staggering. The Alcohol and Drug Policy Commission's Statewide Strategic Plan calculated that Oregon is spending an estimated $6.7 billion per year on issues related to substance misuse, the majority of which is a result of harmful alcohol use. State spending on substance use has quadrupled since 2005 and consumed nearly 17% of the state budget in 2017, however less than 1% of those funds are used to prevent, treat and support the recovery of people with substance use disorder. For far too long, Oregon has ranked as one of the worst states in the nation in addressing the disease of addiction, and the absence of adequate funding and attention to this crisis has put an undue financial burden on our healthcare, public safety and criminal justice workforces.

    The Book of the Generations of William McFarland and Nancy Kilgore 1740-1912 HISTORIAN: JOSEPH McFARLAND, M. D. GALION, OHIO EDITOR AND PUBLISHER EDWARD NORTON CANTWELL DUNDEE, ILLINOIS PRESS OF ELGIN COUllllER. ELGIN, ILL. 1875 1905 Joseph McFarland, M. D. Born August 29, 1827. Died January 5, 1913. Joseph McFarland was elected family historian and was author­ ized to compile and publish the family history at a McFarland re­ union, held in Mansfield, Ohio, about ten years ago. On account of the infirmity of age he was unable to complete the work, and gave it into the hands of the present Editor in August, 1911. Andrew McFarland, Lucas, Oh[o, Route 2, is now the oldest living member of the family. THE OLD HOUSE "An old house has an atmosphere which cannot be carried into a new house. The walls have heard voices now gone silent; the halls have echoed footfalls no longer audible; the roof has protected a rich and varied life of joy and sorrow, of work and rest, which has passed on like a river into other countries and flows on under other trees and skies. But this vanished life has left its impression on the old house, has humanized it and overlaid it with all manner of sacred associations; so that, in a very real way, the old life goes on within its walls and keeps the old house still an old home. In like manner, the generations that have done their work and gone to their rest still live in the world which has passed out of their possession into ours; so that the great human family remains unbroken and contin­ uous and the fathers still touch the sons who have come into their places.

    May 1, 2020 VIA EMAIL AND UPS Hon. Kate Brown Governor of Oregon State Capitol Building 900 Court Street NE, Suite 254 Salem, OR 97301 [email protected] Patrick Allen Director of the Oregon Health Authority 500 Summer Street, NE, E-2 Salem, OR 97301 [email protected] Re: Certificate-of-Need waivers during COVID-19 pandemic. Dear Governor Brown and Director Allen: I am writing on behalf of the Institute for Justice (IJ)—a national public-interest, civil liberties law firm—to respectfully request that you waive Oregon’s certificate of need (CON) requirement for adding and redistributing long-term care beds.1 As the COVID-19 pandemic has shown, Oregonians need access to more care, not less. The requested action is commonsense and compassionate, but also the bold leadership that Oregon residents admire and deserve during this unprecedented emergency. For nearly three decades, IJ has worked to reduce and remove burdensome, unnecessary, and in this case, dangerous, licensing requirements, including in the healthcare field.2 IJ also drafts legislation and advises legislatures throughout the country on licensing and other regulatory matters. IJ’s mission is to support and protect the right of all Americans to provide for themselves and care for their health free from unreasonable interference. In recent years, IJ has become particularly concerned about the burdens that state CON laws impose on access to healthcare.3 Not only do these laws fail to protect public health and safety, they restrict the number of available healthcare providers, drive up consumer costs, and decrease quality of services.4 Indeed, the evidence is near universal that CON laws fail to further any legitimate government purpose.5 Instead, they serve as barriers to entry.6 The problems with CON laws amount to more than bad policy.

  • Letter from Kate Brown, Governor of Oregon to Scott Pruitt and Douglas
    KATE BROWN GOVERNOR June 19,2017 Honorable E. Scott Pruitt Honorable Douglas W. Lamont, P .E. Administrator Senior Official Performing the Duties ofthe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Assistant Secretmy of the Army for Civil 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW (1101A) Works, Department of the Army Washington, D.C. 20460 108 Army Pentagon Washington, D.C. 20310 Dear Administrator Pruitt and Acting Assistant Secretary Lamont, The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, Depmiment ofFish and Wildlife, Department of Forestty and Department ofState Lands [hereinafter refeffed to as "the State of Oregon"] are providing these comments in response to the request for comments regarding the proposed plan to implement the "Executive Order on Restoring the Rule ofLaw, Federalism, and Economic Growth by Reviewing the Waters ofthe United States Rule." We appreciate the opportunity to provide the State ofOregon's perspectives on the anticipated rulemaking process. The Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule is vitally imp01iant to the nation's ecological and economic wellbeing. The State of Oregon supported the 2015 WOTUS rule because it was based on sound science and took into account the practical and ecological realities ofhydrology, seasonality and interconnected waters. Any rule that replaces the 2015 rule must accomplish the same in order to achieve the objective of protecting the chemical, physical and biological integrity of Oregon's and our nation's waters. The Executive Order (EO) directs the federal agencies to consider interpreting the term "navigable waters" in a manner consistent with Justice Scalia's opinion in Rapanos v. United States, 547 U.S. 715 (2006). The EO does not require the federal agencies to propose a new rule that implements Scalia's opinion.

  • Messages of the Governors of the Territory of Washington to the Legislative Assembly, 1854-1889
    UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PUBLICATIONS IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES Volume 12,pp. 5-298 August, 1940 MESSAGES OF THE GOVERNORS OF THE TERRITORY OF WASHINGTON TO THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY, 1854-1889 Edited by CHARLESi\'l.GATES UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PRESS SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 1940 FOREWORD American history in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries is in large part the story of the successive occupation of new areas by people of European antecedents, the planting therein of the Western type of civilization, and the interaction of the various strains of that civilization upon each other and with the environment. The story differs from area to area because of differences not only in the cultural heritage of the settlers and in the physical environment but also in the scientific and technological knowledge available dur- ing the period of occupation. The history of the settlement and de- velopment of each of these areas is an essential component of the history of the American Nation and a contribution toward an under- standing of that Nation as it is today. The publication of the documents contained in this volume serves at least two purposes: it facilitates their use by scholars, who will weave the data contained in them into their fabrics of exposition and interpretation, and it makes available to the general reader a fas- cinating panorama of the early stages in the development of an Amer- ican community. For those with special interest in the State of Washington, whether historians or laymen, the value of this work is obvious; but no one concerned with the social, economic, or diplomatic history of the United States in the second half of the nineteenth century can afford to ignore it.

  • Honorable Kate Brown, Governor of Oregon March 24, 2020 900 Court Street NE, Suite 254 Salem, OR 97301-4047 Governor Brown
    Honorable Kate Brown, Governor of Oregon March 24, 2020 900 Court Street NE, Suite 254 Salem, OR 97301-4047 Governor Brown, We are in uncharted territory, and the House Republican Caucus stands ready to work with our colleagues in the Oregon Legislature to respond quickly and responsibly to threats to public health and our economy. It is important that any action taken by the state balance the immediate health risks with the long-term well-being of our families through support for employees and main street businesses. We continue to strongly support stay at home recommendations, social distancing, handwashing and less frequent person-to-person contact. The Stay Home Stay Safe initiative is appropriate and needed. Executive Order 20-12 is the most restrictive action taken to date and has significant impacts on businesses and consumers. While we broadly support this action, we also believe it comes with an obligation on behalf of the Governor’s office to ensure this order is bolstered with additional access to information in order to be carried out in a clear and transparent manner. We request the following: • Provide legislators and the public with a clear data-based standard for changes to Executive Order 20-12 moving forward. With this, we urge an approach that continues to protect public health while limiting harm to the economy, by communicating with the public that these are temporary measures that will be re-evaluated within a clear framework as circumstances change. • Provide additional information on health care system capacity, with regular updates on COVID-19 hospitalizations including patient acuity data and recovery rates to ensure executive and legislative actions are responsive to maintaining systemwide resilience and readiness.

  • March 27, 2020 the Honorable Kate Brown Governor of Oregon State Capitol Building 900 Court Street NE, Suite 254 Salem, OR 97301
    March 27, 2020 The Honorable Kate Brown Governor of Oregon State Capitol Building 900 Court Street NE, Suite 254 Salem, OR 97301 Dear Governor Brown, Thank you for your continued leadership during this extremely challenging time for the nation in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. We understand the difficult decisions you are facing daily under constantly changing conditions to prioritize public safety, while also attempting to minimize disruptions to the economy and social wellbeing. As the nation’s recreational fishing industry trade association, the American Sportfishing Association (ASA) represents the businesses that support America’s $125 billion recreational fishing economy. Oregon’s 574,739 recreational fishermen contribute $1.4 billion to the state’s economy, supporting 12,655 jobs. In addition to its tremendous economic impacts, recreational fishing is also a strong part of Oregon’s culture. Particularly during this pandemic, recreational fishing provides an ideal means for individuals and families to get outdoors and boost their physical and mental health in a way that doesn’t necessitate close contact with others. Many Governors have encouraged forms of outdoor recreation, such as recreational fishing, as a positive and appropriate activity compatible with social distancing guidelines. As you continue to direct the state’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we ask that you consider the following requests: 1. Deem recreational fishing-dependent businesses, such as fishing tackle manufacturers and retailers, as “essential businesses” that are allowed to remain open under proper safety and social distancing guidelines. Recreational fishing provides mental and physical health benefits associated with being outdoors. In addition, recreational fishing provides an important food source for many individuals who harvest what they catch.

    marsh output_Doern art 12-04-14 5:45 AM Page 1 MARSH “I am especially pleased to know that Tom Marsh has done painstaking research to bind our history in this tome; perhaps we will learn from our past and forge ahead with positive results for generations to come.” —GERRYFRANK The first comprehensive political history of Oregon, To the Promised Land TO THE PROMISED LAND also examines the social and economic changes the state has pioneered during its almost two hundred years. Highlighting major political figures, campaigns, ballot measures, and the history of legislative sessions, Tom Marsh traces the evolution of Oregon from incorporated territory to a state at the forefront of national environmental and social movements. From Jason Lee’s first letter urging Congress to take possession of the Oregon Country to John Kitzhaber’s precedent-setting third term as governor, from the land frauds of the early 20th century to the state’s land-use planning goals, from the Beach Bill to the Bottle Bill, this book tells Oregon’s story. Featuring interesting trivia, historical photographs, and biographical sketches of key politicians, To the Promised Land is an essential volume for readers interested in Oregon’s history. TOMMARSH taught high school history in Oregon for twenty-eight years. He represented eastern T O M M A R S H Washington County in the state legislature from 1975 to 1979, and has participated in numerous political campaigns over a span of nearly fifty years. He lives in Salem, Oregon.

  • Open Letter to the Governor
    AN OPEN LETTER October 24, 2019 The Honorable Kate Brown Governor of Oregon The State Capitol 900 Court Street, NE Salem, Oregon 97301 Dear Governor Brown: We are writing to respectfully urge you to take action now to end Oregon’s untreated addiction crisis by fully implementing the new blueprint for an addiction recovery continuum of care, soon to be released by the state Alcohol & Drug Policy Commission (ADPC). Should the ADPC not meet the Legislatures request for a comprehensive plan by December, Oregon Recovers, in partnership with stakeholders across the state, will offer its own comprehensive blueprint for a new system of care. Our communities are locked in the throes of one of the worst public health crises in Oregon’s history resulting in an average of five alcohol-related deaths and 1-2 drug overdoses each day—a fatality rate 700% higher than the worst year of the AIDS epidemic. As you well know, untreated addiction is the leading contributor to our overwhelmed foster care system, our homelessness crisis, and our packed prisons. It is connected to the education gap and drop-out rates, it is the largest cost driver in our healthcare system, and it is a contributor to the high utilization of social services. The high human toll aside, the combined cost of untreated addiction in Oregon is at least $5.9 billion annually. This crisis exists because Oregon has always lacked a fully integrated addiction recovery continuum of care. While in recent years some local communities have made positive progress in increasing access to treatment, the absence of a statewide plan has resulted in a system that is fractured at best.
