November 2, 2010 (PDF) Voters’ Pamphlet Oregon General Election November 2, 2010 Kate Brown Oregon Secretary of State This Voters’ Pamphlet is provided for assistance in casting your vote by mail ballot. OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE ELECTIONS DIVISION STEPHEN N. TROUT KATE BROWN DIRECTOR SECRETARY OF STATE 255 CAPITOL ST NE, SUITE 501 BARRY PACK SALEM, OREGON 97310 DEPUTY SECRETARY OF STATE (503) 986-1518 Dear Oregon Voters: As your Chief Elections Officer, my goal is to engage more Oregonians in the political process, provide more information to Oregonians and remove barriers to voting. Because of this, you will see a few changes in the Voters’ Pamphlet, receive a ballot that looks a little different and find answers to your questions, quite literally at your fingertips, by pointing your browser to www.oregonvotes.org. First, the ballot. The Oregon Legislature passed legislation in 2009 implementing a new process for political parties to nominate candidates. It’s called cross nomination and it allows candidates to receive the nomination of up to three parties and to have those nominations printed on the ballot. The purpose behind this change is to engage more voters on all ends of the political spectrum. Due to space restrictions on the ballot and the fact that candidates can receive up to three party nomi- nations, the party names will be abbreviated on the ballot. Every ballot will have a key to the party abbreviations. The parties are abbreviated as follows: Constitution Party – CON Democratic Party of Oregon – DEM Independent Party of Oregon – IND Libertarian Party of Oregon – LBT Nonaffiliated – NAV Pacific Green Party – PGP Oregon Progressive Party – PRO The Oregon Republican Party – REP Working Families Party of Oregon – WFP Second, the Voters’ Pamphlet. Another bill the Oregon Legislature passed created the Citizens’ Initiative Review. The process involves a panel of citizens coming together for a week to discuss the pros and cons of a proposed initiative. The panel then produces statements reflecting the opinions of the panelists to provide more information to Oregon voters. This Citizens’ Initiative Review process happened on two ballot measures this year. Those statements can be found on pages 45 and 56 of the Voters’ Pamphlet. Third, technology has provided us with the ability to provide you better service from the Elections Division. You can now track your ballot over the internet, just like an online purchase, by going to www.oregonvotes.org. On this site you can find out whether you are registered to vote, find information about the voting process, and after you have mailed your ballot, confirm that your county elections office actually received your ballot. Ballots to our servicemen and women are mailed 45 days prior to the election. If we have the correct email address for these personnel, we can provide a PDF version of the ballot. If you, or someone you know, needs this service, please don’t hesitate to call or email. It’s extremely important that those who have placed their lives on the line for our country be able to participate in the democratic process. We are facing some tough challenges in the years ahead. As your Chief Elections Officer, I encourage you to make sure that your voice is heard. Please register, and then vote, in this and every election. Your ballot must be received by a county elections office by 8pm on November 2. Postmarks do not count. If you have questions about registration, filling out your ballot or getting a replacement ballot if you make a mistake, do not hesitate to call our toll free hotline at 1-866-ORE-VOTE or visit our website at www.oregonvotes.org.

  • Final 2006 OTGA AJ
    The Contributions of Indian Gaming to Oregon’s Economy in 2006 A Market and Economic Impact Analysis for the Oregon Tribal Gaming Alliance June 30, 2008 ECONOMICS • FINANCE • PLANNING 888 SW Fifth Avenue Suite 1460 Portland, Oregon 97204 503-222-6060 www.econw.com Section I Executive Summary Assignment The Oregon Tribal Gaming Alliance (“OTGA”) is a coalition of nine Indian tribes in Oregon. Each owns and operates a casino in the state. The OTGA retained ECONorthwest to conduct a market and economic impact analysis of the tribal casino gaming industry in Oregon for the year 2006. This is the fourth year such an analysis has been done. The data presented in this report come from various sources, but primarily from OTGA member tribes. They provided audited operating data on their casinos and related activities such as hotels and restaurants. The tribes also prepared lists of charities and donations made by OTGA members through their charitable foundations and businesses. Riley Research Associates provided the results of a survey for this analysis. Statistics from state and federal government sources, such as the Oregon Lottery and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, were also used to produce this report. This report replicates past work where the size and impact of tribal gaming in Oregon had been measured. Three additional research elements are included in this analysis. Overall, the following key topics are examined in this report: • Economic impacts of tribal gaming: What was the total economic impact of tribal gaming on the Oregon economy in 2006 and how does it compare with previous years? • The size of the gaming market in Oregon: How much gambling was conducted in Oregon in 2006 and how much money did Oregonians spend? What share of the total gaming in Oregon was attributable to the nine tribes and the Oregon Lottery? How has the market changed over the past decade? • Charitable contributions by tribes: All nine tribes make donations to area charities and most have established charitable community foundations financed by casino gaming revenues.
