    November 7, 2016 the Honorable Kate Brown Governor of Oregon

    OREGON LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY November 7, 2016 The Honorable Kate Brown Governor of Oregon State Capitol Salem, Oregon Dear Governor Brown, As legislators and colleagues, we understand the many demands on our state’s limited debt capacity. However, we believe next session presents unique opportunities for the State of Oregon to partner with universities to increase student access and promote economic development. The high-impact nature of many of these projects warrants reimagining traditional levels of bonding capacity designated for higher education. That is why we are requesting that you propose a budget for the 2017-19 biennium that includes an increase in the amount of capital construction capacity allocated to Oregon’s public universities. The return on investment in public university infrastructure extend far beyond simple brick and mortar. With investments in facilities, Oregonians see better access for low-income, minority, and first-generation students, higher rates of college completion, enhanced quality of teaching and learning, higher capacity for research and economic development activity, more energy efficient and sustainable campuses, and job creation in every corner of our state. Recent acts of philanthropy and opportunities to invest in growing areas of the state present a distinctive set of circumstances that merit investment above historic levels. Whether it is the opportunity to leverage 10:1 the recent gift that Phil and Penny Knight gave to the University of Oregon for applied scientific research, or the ability to increase access to education for Oregonians in Central Oregon, we believe increased investment in the upcoming budget will benefit Oregon students and the economy.

The federal law also imposes some new identification requirements. If you are registering to vote in Oregon for the first time, you must provide your Oregon Driver’s License number, or if you do not have a Driver’s License, then you must provide the last four digits of your Social Security number. If you do not have either a Driver’s License or Social Security number and are registering by mail, then you may provide a copy of other forms of identification listed on the voter registration card.
