  • June 22, 2020 Senate President Peter Courtney House Speaker Tina Kotek Oregon State Capitol 900 Court Street NE Salem, Oregon 97
    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.

  • Press Release Oregon Legislative Black
    PRESS RELEASE OREGON LEGISLATIVE BLACK, INDIGENOUS AND PEOPLE OF COLOR (BIPOC) CAUCUS For Immediate Release Aug. 24, 2020 Oregon Cares Fund for Black relief and resiliency Now Accepting Applications SALEM – The Oregon Cares Fund for Black relief and resiliency is now accepting applications. Black individuals and families, Black businesses, and Black community-based organizations statewide can now apply to receive funds to assist them in weathering the health and economic storm that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused. Applications for the fund, which is being administered by two non-profits, The Contingent and The Black United Fund, are available here. Rep. Akasha Lawrence Spence (D-Portland), one of the leading legislative proponents, applauded the tireless effort to stand up the fund. “I am so grateful for the hundreds of hours that were put into making this fund a reality for Black Oregonians,” Rep. Lawrence Spence said. “From the dozens of Black leaders who showed up week after week to ensure our process was inclusive, the grassroots community support by Oregonians across the state, to the unrelenting advocacy from the BIPOC Caucus and The Contingent working in good faith around-the-clock for five weeks in preparation for launch, the resilience of our community is clear. “Now it is time for our community to receive much needed resources and relief from the devastating impacts of the pandemic and the decades of underinvestment that have made us increasingly vulnerable to economic downturns. Black Oregonians are all too accustomed to surviving with less than they need and far less than they deserve. This fund is the remedial action incumbent on the state to do what is long overdue.” Rep.

  • BIPOC Caucus Condemns Passage of Texas Abortion
    PRESS RELEASE OREGON HOUSE DEMOCRATS For Immediate Release For more information, Contact: Sep. 2, 2021 Hannah Kurowski: [email protected] CORRECTION: BIPOC Caucus Condemns Passage of SB 8, Calls for Protection of Abortion as Essential Health Care CORRECTION The following members of the BIPOC Caucus sign onto this statement: • Senators: Lew Frederick, Kayse Jama, James Manning • Representatives: Teresa Alonso Leon, Wlnsvey Campos, Andrea Valderrama, Mark Meek, Khanh Pham, Ricki Ruiz, Andrea Salinas, Tawna Sanchez SALEM, OR -- The Legislative Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) Caucus released the following statement after the Texas Governor signed into law Senate Bill 8 (SB 8) to ban abortions after six weeks, as well as encourages private citizens to act as bounty hunters: “Roe vs Wade enshrined reproductive health care as a constitutionally protected right. In Oregon, we have a long history of protecting reproductive rights and removing barriers to accessing abortion because we know abortion is healthcare. "If SB 8 remains in effect without intervention from courts, any abortion providers who remain operational are facing a crushing wave of lawsuits that they will likely be unable to litigate. This back-door ban presents harm to people facing severe restrictions on important health care protections. "BIPOC communities are most often forced to resort to unsafe abortions due to reproductive healthcare restrictions, a symptom of institutionalized white supremacy and patriarchy. SB 8 once again disproportionately takes away our constitutional right to make decisions about our own bodies as a worst case scenario, and forces those with the resources to travel across state lines for healthcare access as a best case scenario.

Citizens placed Measure 60 on the ballot through the initiative process and then overwhelmingly approved it at the 1998 General Election. Over these past 20 years, we have realized the benefits of increased access and ease of access to the ballot, higher voter turnout, and improved election security because of our first in the nation vote-by-mail system. Today, those benefits continue as over 2.7 million Oregonians will receive a ballot in the mail beginning on October 17. I would like to congratulate the voters of Grant County who had the highest voter turnout at the Primary Election this past May.

  • Legislative Update
    LEGISLATIVE UPDATE Prepared for OAFP May 12, 2019 SB 765 – Primary Care Spending After nearly an hour of testimony on the Oregon Academy of Family Physician’s primary care spending bill, Rep. Rob Nosse (D-Portland) said, “I can’t figure out how it works.” For the past four years, insurers and CCOs have reported how much they spend on primary care as a percentage of their total medical spend. Part of the goal with SB 765 is to make the formula used to report that spending fits the national standard, so Oregon’s primary care spending can be compared with other states. “We now have an inaccurate report,” Jennifer DeVoe, MD, Chair of the Dept. of Family Medicine at OHSU, said. “People around the country are asking how did Oregon increase primary care spending from 6% to 12% in one year.” Glenn Rodriguez, MD, said we didn’t. We just changed the formula. “The methodology change in 2017 changed the percentage of primary care spending without actually increasing the amount spent on primary care.” State law says Oregon’s insurers and CCOs should spend 12% of their premium dollar on primary care. Devoe said, “The more money you spend on primary care, the more money you save.” A report from Portland State found that increased primary care spending through patient-centered primary care homes (PCPCH) saved $240 million in the first three years through lower emergency room use, fewer hospitalizations and reduced specialty care costs. The insurance carriers that testified — Cambia, Providence, Samaritan and Care Oregon — said they support primary care spending but were united in their opposition to the bill.

  • PRESS RELEASE Oregon Legislature's BIPOC Caucus Applauds Efforts to Improve Legislative Diversity and Access
    PRESS RELEASE OREGON LEGISLATIVE BLACK, INDIGENOUS AND PEOPLE OF COLOR (BIPOC) CAUCUS For Immediate Release For More Information, Contact: Jan. 5, 2021 Aaron Fiedler: 503-986-1904 [email protected] Oregon Legislature’s BIPOC Caucus Applauds Efforts to Improve Legislative Diversity and Access Issues call to keep up the work to build a more equitable Capitol SALEM, Ore. – The Oregon Legislature’s Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) Caucus issued the following statement on the announcement of proactive steps to increase diversity in the Oregon Legislature and begin to right historic wrongs: “For the last year, we have worked together to build on the momentum of this historic moment to finally tackle generations of racial injustice and inequality in Oregon. With the help of outside organizations and the voices of countless Oregonians, we have been able to do incredible work to get resources to historically underserved communities, reform our broken criminal justice system, bring accountability to law enforcement across the state and take the first steps in building a more just and equitable Oregon for all. “We do this work on land stolen from indigenous people under a state constitution that, at its founding, specifically banned people of color. We are regularly reminded of this history whenever we sit at our desks on the floors of the Oregon House of Representatives and Oregon Senate, where murals of white settlers and the names of mostly white men hang over our heads. And, we are reminded at the historical lack of BIPOC representation in the halls of the Oregon Capitol with the acknowledgement that this is the most diverse legislature Oregon has ever had.
