Tax Reform in Oregon the Time Has Come for Major Tax Reform in Oregon Tax Reform in Oregon The time has come for major tax reform in Oregon. Oregon’s revenue system is inadequate to meet the needs of the state and places an unfair burden on individual taxpayers, especially low- income families. The Oregon Campaign for Economic Justice is working with allies around the state to transform the debate around taxes and spending in order to build a movement for genuine tax reform. What’s wrong with Oregon’s tax system? The debate about how to balance the state budget has THE REAL been clouded by several myths: PROBLEMS Myth #1 The tax burden on Oregon residents is excessively high WITH OREGON’S In fact, only five other states pay a smaller share of their income to state and local taxes than Oregon. And Oregon’s overall tax burden has TAX SYSTEM remained steady relative to income over most of the last 20 years. UNFAIR Myth #2 Government spending in Oregon is excessively high Oregon’s tax burden falls disproportionately In fact, the amount of state tax revenue that Oregon’s government on low-income taxpay- spends for public services is close to the national average. After account- ers and on households ing for federal aid received, Oregon’s state government ranks 24th out versus corporations. of all states for general expenditures.

Government spending day fund to help us weather the ups and has gone up but this is because of inflation, rising costs, and an increased downs. demand for public services due to population growth, aging of the population, and unfunded voter-driven mandates. INADEQUATE Oregon’s tax system Myth #4 Raising taxes in order to deal with the budget shortfall is unable to raise will hurt Oregon’s economy enough revenue to meet the costs of Raising taxes will not affect our ability to recover from the recession, essential public which is caused by national and international trends that have nothing to services, especially do with Oregon’s tax structure. In fact, raising taxes could help by during a recession. increasing state spending, which many economists argue is the best way to get us out of a recession. Myth #5 Tax breaks to businesses and the wealthy will spur economic recovery Studies show that state tax cuts rarely impact business investment decisions because state taxes are such a small portion of the total cost of doing business. 1 How does Oregon’s current system measure up?

No, Oregon loses millions in potential revenue through tax breaks • Oregon currently gives away more potential revenue in the form of tax credits, exemptions, and deductions than it collects in taxes • In recent years, tax breaks have grown at a faster rate than revenues 2 How did it get this way? Tax revolt of the 1990s In 1990, taxpayers passed Measure 5, a property tax limitation meas- ure. Unfortunately, Measure 5 benefited businesses a lot more than individuals. Frustrated taxpayers didn’t experience much financial relief, so in 1996 they voted for Measure 50 which rolled back property taxes even further. Again, corporations benefited more than individu- als. The result: major reductions in public funding for schools, parks, and public safety, with little real financial relief for most taxpayers. Shift in tax burden from corporations to households In the late 1970s, businesses and households paid about the same share of Oregon’s state and local taxes, but now households pay a much larger share. While low- and middle-income households have seen their tax burden increase, the tax burden on corporations and the wealthy has decreased. The result: Oregon residents are paying The Oregon more in taxes but getting less in services. Campaign For Shift from property to income tax Economic Little more than a decade ago, the property tax was the chief revenue source in Oregon, with the income tax not far behind. Because of the Justice property tax limitations of the 1990s, Oregon now depends on the income tax for its revenue. Personal income taxes account for 87% is a statewide coalition of the state general fund, the highest percentage from any single tax working to impact public source in the country. policy through grassroots organizing and education. Income tax less stable than property tax You can learn more about The problem with Oregon’s over-reliance on the income tax is that the Oregon Campaign at incomes go way up in good times, but way down in bad times. our website: Property values are more stable. The impact of Oregon’s tax revolt www.oregoncampaign.org was hidden in the 1990s because the state’s overall economy was so good that income tax collections remained high. But now we’re in a recession and income tax collections are down. That is why we’re experiencing such a huge budget deficit. No rainy day fund Most states save up surplus revenues from good years to help them weather the bad years. But Oregon gives back all tax surpluses through the Kicker. We’re the only state that has an automatic tax cut that kicks in whenever the economy is good and tax collections exceed forecasts. This makes the state even more vulnerable to the econo- my’s ups and downs. Increased costs Over the past decade, the cost of running state government has gone up, largely due to inflation, rising healthcare costs, PERS, and an increasing number of mandated services. At the same time, the demand for public services is higher, because Oregon’s population is growing at twice the national average while the percentage of our pop- ulation who are elderly is rapidly increasing. 3 Sample Options for Tax Reform ESTIMATED OPTION FOR REFORM REVENUE PROS CONS Personal Income Tax Reform $295 million per • Makes the income tax system more fair • Higher income taxpayers would oppose it Create 11% bracket for couples with biennium • Easy to implement • Oregon’s income tax is already high compared to incomes over $200,000 other states (singles over $100,000) Corporate Income Tax Reform $230 million per • Re-balances the tax burden so corporations pay • Difficult to enforce – lots of loopholes Equalize corporate income tax rates biennium more of their fair share • Business interests would likely oppose it (now 6.6%) with personal income tax • More equitable for small businesses rates (now 5%-9%) Revise Measure 5 Limitations Local option: would • Property taxes are more stable than income taxes • Regressive for renters and low-income owners Change the $5 limit on schools to $7 allow local school • Doesn’t require statewide reform • May reduce pressure for statewide reform per $1,000 of market value districts to go to voters • Rural and poor school districts will have difficulty taking to raise additional advantage of local option taxes property taxes Split Roll Tax Depends on rate and • Re-balances the tax burden so businesses pay more • Small businesses might suffer Change the way properties are property value growth of their fair share • Business interests would oppose it assessed to set a higher limit for • Would help to make Oregon’s property tax system • Costs could be passed on to tenants income earning properties than for more fair • Defeated by Oregon voters in 1992 residential properties Retail Sales Tax $1.1 billion per • Only 5 other states don’t have a sales tax • Defeated by Oregon voters nine times Create

  • Exclusionary Taxation
    \\jciprod01\productn\H\HLC\53-2\HLC201.txt unknown Seq: 1 19-OCT-18 12:58 Exclusionary Taxation Shayak Sarkar & Josh Rosenthal* Property tax assessments appear to be technocratic calculations. But they may be calculated to discriminate, even unintentionally. California’s constitu- tional limitations on property taxes, as first enacted by Proposition 13 in 1978, remain the poster child for the so-called “property tax revolt” of the late twenti- eth century. Such laws privilege preexisting homeowners by capping assess- ments at historic levels far below contemporary value. As property prices rise, beneficiary homeowners may even bequeath this taxpayer windfall to their de- scendants and immortalize these underassessments. Newer, increasingly diverse residents end up paying higher taxes because the law treats them with less re- gard than their more pedigreed neighbors. These tax policies are rationalized as providing “stability” to the existing residents. The aggrieved have found cold comfort in the Constitution, with the Supreme Court upholding the core of Cali- fornia’s system in the canonical Nordlinger v. Hahn. In this Article, we argue that even if such exclusionary tax policies do not violate the Constitution, they likely violate another facet of federal law: the Fair Housing Act’s disparate impact liability. Our contributions are threefold. First, as a procedural matter, we identify recent caselaw that offers a means for such legal challenges to enter the courthouse door. Although state and federal courts in the twentieth century erected barriers to judicial review of property tax poli- cies, we argue that the landscape has changed. Second, using California as a case study, we illuminate the contours of a Fair Housing Act challenge to discriminatory, acquisition-value assessments.

As detailed in the program, participants dressed in blackface and performed skits for audiences in Portland, Oregon. Programs in the OHS Research Library collection indicate the church performed minstrel shows from the 1940s until at least 1950. During that time, the church moved the show from a single performance at Grant High School to two performances at Civic Auditorium. ON THE COVER: On May 26, 2017, White supremacist Jeremy Christian verbally attacked two young women, one wearing a hijab, on a light-rail train in Portland, Oregon. Three men intervened, and Christian killed Ricky Best and Taliesin Namkai-Meche, while severely injuring Micah Fletcher. In the days following the attack, a powerful, tangible response from the community developed at the Hollywood MAX station — a memorial to the victims that included chalk messages, photographs, candles, and flowers. Jackie Labrecque, then a reporter for KATU News, took this photograph at dawn after someone wrote, in pink chalk, Taliesin Namkai-Meche’s final words: “Please tell everyone on this train I love them.” The memorial, a response to tragedy, also provided hope through a resounding denouncement of hate.
