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 our nation and our state climb slowly out of an historic recession, the challenges we face remain great. This primary election provides the opportunity for all voters to decide on a variety of nonpartisan races and two statewide ballot measures. It also allows the two major parties to select their nominees for offices from the US Senate and Congress, to Governor and the state Legislature. You, the voters, are in the driver’s seat, making important choices about the future leaders of this state and country. As your Secretary of State, I write to urge you to register and VOTE. Now more than ever the voices of Oregonians must be heard. While we face the continuation of a grim economic climate, as families struggle to make ends meet, businesses work hard to remain competitive and our governments strive to meet increasing demands for public services, there is some good news to share. Oregon has made great strides to make it easy and convenient to register and vote. On March 1, 2010, we made it simpler, more efficient and more secure to register to vote through Oregon’s online voter registration system. You can register online if you have an Oregon driver’s license, state ID or driver’s permit.

    June 22, 2020 Senate President Peter Courtney House Speaker Tina Kotek Oregon State Capitol 900 Court Street NE Salem, Oregon 97301 Sent via email Re: Statutory Corrections to the Corporate Activity Tax (H.B. 4009-A, 2020) Dear Senate President Courtney and House Speaker Kotek, On behalf of the Smart Growth Coalition and Council On State Taxation (C.O.S.T.), we are writing to express our continued concerns regarding statutory ambiguities complicating the implementation of the corporate activity tax (C.A.T.) and the crucial need for corrective legislation in the upcoming special session. To be clear, we are not asking for delaying the implementation or changing the structural design of the tax, but to enact clarifying amendments proposed during the 2020 session. While our organizations approached the enabling legislation differently, we are aligned in our commitment to working alongside the executive and legislative branches to ensure the C.A.T. functions as intended by the legislature. Through the development of the rules and regulations, however, it has become clear there are significant statutory ambiguities regarding the statutory subtraction, filing groups, and filing period. These provisions are inherently technical but represent the underpinnings required for every taxpayer to calculate the tax, and, thus, pose significant administrative and compliance obstacles without clarification. During the 2020 session, we worked closely with a technical working group to identify and recommend corrective measures to simplify the administrative and compliance burdens. Together with the Oregon Department of Revenue (“Department”) and Legislative Revenue Office, we agreed to a series of statutory corrections designed to resolve the known ambiguities.

  • Okay, So We Had a Little Fun with the Cover
    Editorial Party Favors Okay, so we had a little fun with the cover. For a few brief days in late April and early May 2002, Ron Saxton led the polls in the gubernatorial Republican primary. Under the counsel of longtime Oregon political operative Elaine Franklin, Saxton’s campaign imploded in the final days as he moved aggressively left on social issues, abortion and assisted suicide. Now, four years later, Saxton has a new face to his campaign, new political consultants…and a new political bedfellow, Lars Larson. Has he done wrong? Last month, a Sunday Oregonian editorial began the paper’s campaign for an open primary. The idea, an initiative of political outsiders Phil Keisling and Norma Paulus, is aimed at the November ballot. The Oregonian has consistently argued that partisanship is the root of all evils in Oregon politics. The newspaper made the argument that if someone as moderate and intelligent as Ron Saxton is forced to cuddle up to Lars Larson and the right wingers in order to win his party’s nomination, it proves how broken our state’s partisan political system is. Richard Nixon is the American politician credited with the adage that you run to your party’s extreme base in the primary, and then you run back hard to the middle in the general election. This was Saxton’s strategy, as he took a position on illegal immigration to the right of and in conflict with President Bush during a three-way candidate debate with Kevin Mannix and Jason Atkinson. This hot button issue happens to be the passion of conservative talk show host Lars Larson.

    OregonLive.com's Printer-Friendly Page http://www.oregonlive.com/printer/printer.ssf?/base/news/11450791756... Feeling taxed? Not big business Revenue - Two decades of cuts have slashed Oregon's corporate tax burden, and households are footing the bill Sunday, April 16, 2006 BETSY HAMMOND The Oregonian When Oregonians file their state income tax returns Monday, they will be on track to pay $10.6 billion over two years -- nearly 90 percent of the tab for state government -- while corporations that do business in Oregon will pay $705 million. The disparity results from two decades of decisions by state lawmakers to recast tax policy to favor corporate interests, particularly big manufacturers and large out-of-state companies. Despite election-year rhetoric that businesses are overtaxed, no state asks businesses to pay a lighter share of its state budget than Oregon does, according to the Council on State Taxation, which represents big business. Instead, Oregon households shoulder the tax burden for schools, health care, public safety and other state services. The trend comes into stark relief this year when: A middle-income family in the Portland suburbs pays more in state taxes than they would pay in the typical Western state but gets below-average services, including bigger class sizes and less college financial aid for children. Intel -- Oregon's largest employer and a company that paid $50 million a year in Oregon corporate taxes a few years ago -- will see its 2006 tax bill fall to a fraction of that amount, potentially as low as $10. Businesses in Oregon benefit from $40 million in corporate tax breaks, more than $100 million in corporate kicker credits and the final phase-in of a $40 million tax cut from a new tax formula.
