Benchmark Programs in Six Other States B. Oregon Progress Board Publications Notes References Foreword The development and publication of statistical indicators of the health status and well-being of populations has been increasing in the United States and internationally. These indicators still have less influence on health policy than the publication of data about leading economic indicators has on business decisions. However, indicators of health status are attracting attention among officials at all levels of government as well as among private-sector executives making decisions about such issues as where to locate or relocate operations. The state of Oregon in 1989 began to devise indicators of well-being, calling them benchmarks, as part of a long- term project to improve the economy of the state initiated by then-governor Neil Goldschmidt. The Oregon Progress Board (OPB), a public body whose members are leaders of the community, business, and government, manages the benchmarking process.

  • Governor Kitzhaber's Inaugural Remarks
    oregon.gov http://www.oregon.gov/gov/media_room/pages/speechess2011/0110_inaugural_remarks.aspx Governor Kitzhaber's Inaugural Remarks So I guess none of you could get tickets to the game either. Before I begin I would like to pause to offer my heartfelt thanks, my own and on behalf of Oregon to Governor Ted Kulongoski. I don't believe that another person in the history of this state who found more ways to express his love for and commitment to Oregon and its people: Marine, Legislator, Insurance Commissioner, Attorney General, Supreme Court Justice and Governor. But these official positions only scratch the surface of his good works and those good works have made a great difference. Throughout his lifetime of service he has never for a moment forgotten his roots; lost his empathy for those who struggle or failed to preserve. Today may mark the end of his term as Governor, but if anyone thinks this is the end of his working for a better Oregon, well, they don't know Ted Kulongoski. He has governed well during very difficult times, marked by war as well as the recession. I am proud to have served with him. We are gathered here today at a sobering and humbling moment in Oregon's history: sobering because of the task before us; humbling because our fellow citizens have chosen us to find a way forward, and to forge a better future for our state and for our people. We face high unemployment; a divided state; and a projected budget deficit of $3.5 billion - about 20% of our General Fund.

  • The Salmon Summit1
    THE SALMON SUMMIT1 Introduction The story of the Salmon Summit is the prologue to a story that will continue unfolding in the halls of Congress, federal agencies and the courts for years to come. It describes an effort to collaboratively develop a plan that would protect several species and subspecies of salmon in the Pacific Northwest, thereby precluding the necessity of having the species listed under the Endangered Species Act. Since the species were ultimately listed, the periodic collaborations that continue under the guise of the Salmon Summit are focused on developing a viable recovery plan for the various species. The plight of the Pacific Northwest salmon species is not a new issue. In fact, during the 1980's, more than $1.5 billion was spent on solving the problem, without much success. The issue is made more complex by the unique claims and rights of Indian tribes to the fishery resource. The issue is also fraught with tensions between the federal government and regional interests, with regional interests striving hard to maintain their control over the issue. It is clear to all involved that if nothing is done soon to protect the remaining salmon, then the various species will go extinct. Background The Columbia River Basin and the Salmon The Columbia River has its headwaters in Canada and is over 1250 miles long (see Figure 1). Its main tributary, the Snake River, is over 1000 miles long, and the total length of the Columbia and its tributaries is about 14,000 miles. The entire Columbia River basin is larger than the country of France, covering 260,000 acres.
