Voters’ Pamphlet

Oregon Primary Election May 18, 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 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. If you’re already registered but need to update your address or change your party affiliation, you can do that online as well. All you have to do is point your web browser on your computer or smart phone to www.oregonvotes.org. Make sure you do so by April 27th.

With the help of the federal Help America Vote Act, we have aggressively pursued options to meet the needs of voters with disabilities so they can vote privately and independently. Did you know that a voter who is unable to use a standard ballot could get a ballot in large print, or an Alternate Format Ballot? The Alternate Format Ballot allows a voter to use their own computer and existing accessibility features (for example, a screen reader) to read, fill out and print their ballot. A voter without accessibility equipment can visit their local county elections office and use an accessible computer station to cast their ballot there. For voters with low literacy, help is available in the form of an Easy Voter Guide. This nonpartisan guide provides information about ballot measures and candidates running for statewide or federal offices.

If you have questions about your registration status, need help accessing assistance to cast your ballot or have any other election questions, visit www.oregonvotes.org or give us a call at 866-673-8683 or email [email protected].

While we have worked hard to reduce barriers to participating in the electoral process, the fundamental decisions about who will next lead Oregon are yours to make. Please, take a few minutes, fill out your ballot and return it to your County Elections Office by 8pm on May 18th. Remember, you are in the driver’s seat and Oregon’s future is, quite literally, in your capable hands.

Sincerely,

Kate Brown Secretary of State Voters’ Pamphlet Oregon Primary Election May 18, 2010

I don’t understand why those we elect to represent us can’t use a little common sense on our behalf. Does it make sense to: -spend more than you make year after year -make a tax code so complex nobody can follow it -have legislators vote on 1000+ page bills without time for a basic review -take over health care without free market solutions included -buy oil from some countries that don’t like us, and not drill here -and others Our Founding Fathers believed that a person elected to public office should go and represent their cities and states for a term or two, then return to their lives as teachers, doc- tors, coaches, or businessmen.

We need you as a Republican Party Precinct Committee Person (PCP) What is a PCP? Precinct Committeemen and Committeewomen are the grassroots representatives for the Republican Party in Oregon. A Precinct Committee Person (PCP) is the “face” of the party and an advocate for Republican political principles in their neighborhoods and communities. They attend regular meetings of their county Republican Central Committee in order to help set the party agenda in the county and to strategize how to spread the Republican message at the local level. What do they do? As a PCP, you have a voice in selecting Republican Party leadership on the county, state, and national levels. You may even seek a leadership position yourself. County leaders, in turn, help select the state party leaders who participate on the Republican National Committee and elect the national party leaders. PCPs also select Oregon delegates and alternates to attend the Repub- lican National Convention. PCPs are often called on by Republican candidates to help with grassroots campaigning. You may be asked to “walk” your precinct with a candidate and introducing the candidate to friends and neighbors. You may also be asked to participate in making phone calls and distributing campaign materials in your precinct. You will become the Republican Party in your community! What is the Republican Philosophy? • Republicans believe the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person’s dignity, freedom, ability, and responsibility must be honored. • Republicans believe in equal rights, equal justice, and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age, or disability. • Republicans believe that free enterprise and the encouragement of individual initiative has brought this nation opportunity, economic growth, and prosperity. • Republicans believe government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of what they earn. • Republicans believe the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations, and that the best government is one which governs least. • Republicans believe the most effective, responsible, and responsive government is government closest to the people. • Republicans believe that Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong while developing new ideas to meet the challenges of changing times. • Republicans believe that Americans cherish our national strength and pride, while working to extend peace, freedom, and human rights throughout the world. • Republicans believe our party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of government. This fall, Oregon Republicans will work to elect Republicans in the Oregon House and Senate, United States Congress, and the U.S. Senate. PCPs will play key roles in bringing about these victories. Join Us! We need your help. We need you to become a PCP to make the Republican Party and our nation stronger. If you would like more information about the Oregon Republican Party, or would like to be more involved with the GOP in Oregon, please call our state party headquarters at (503) 595-8881.

Let’s use our economic development dollars from the lottery to help local employers retain and expand their employee base. We also must support the efforts of smaller cities to create shovel ready buildable lands inventories. Promoting the underutilized buildable lands outside city limits will increase jobs and the tax base. Stewart: Public safety remains a challenge. We need to do business differently while maintaining our obligations to citizens. We’ve made incremental steps in that direction and I want to build on that success. For example, we hired a dedicated property crimes investigator who has solved hundreds of cases. I fought for the restoration of 84 jail beds but we need more. And I lobbied in Washington DC to secure fund- ing for our resident deputies who live in the area they serve. Stewart: County finances need a long term solution. We must continue working with our national partners to find a replacement for Secure Rural Schools funding. One integral part is to actively promote healthy forest management as a viable source of revenue. It’s a great privilege to represent and serve the citizens of Lane County.

PARAGRAPH 4. The Constitution of the State of Oregon is Explanatory Statement revised by creating a new section 4e to be added to and made a part of Article XV, such section to read: The Oregon Constitution restricts the state’s authority to issue bonds or otherwise incur indebtedness. Oregon voters have SECTION 4e. (1) On the effective date of this section, all of approved 16 exceptions to this restriction, 14 of which are still the moneys in the school capital matching subaccount formerly in effect.

This measure would revise the Oregon Constitution to allow Note: Boldfaced type indicates new language; [brackets and the state to issue general obligation bonds to match voter italic] type indicates deletions or comments. approved bonds for K-12 school capital costs. The measure would accomplish this by adding two different provisions to the Constitution. The first new provision would allow local taxing districts to incur bonded indebtedness on or after January 1, 2011, to finance capital costs. Capital costs are defined to include the costs of land and other assets associated with acquisition, construction, improvement, remodeling, main- tenance and repair. Capital costs do not include operating costs. The second new provision would allow the state to issue general obligation bonds to provide funds to be granted or loaned to school districts to finance the capital costs of the school districts. The proceeds from the bonds could be used only to provide matching funds to finance the capital costs of school districts that have received voter approval to issue local government bonds. The state bonds may not be used to pay school district operating costs. Bonds issued by the state could not be repaid through property taxes. This new constitutional provision also creates a “school capital matching fund” to pay for matching funds to school districts to finance capital costs and debt service on state bonds issued pursuant to this measure and repeals the current “school capi- tal matching subaccount” in the “education stability fund.” Any existing funds in the school capital matching subaccount would be transferred to the new school capital matching fund, and that fund also would receive 15 percent of net lottery proceeds. Under the measure, if residents of a local taxing district vote to approve bonds for school capital costs, the local taxing district would be eligible to receive matching funds from the state. This would allow the state to help pay for K-12 capital costs. The result would substantially reduce the costs to the local school district and its taxpayers to make capital improvements, such as constructing, repairing or maintaining school buildings.

But our aging school community college faculty. We see firsthand what Oregon’s stu- facilities do not reflect this rising enrollment. Schools are dents need in order to be successful. As education professionals, havens for youth to learn, grow and succeed. It is our children we know that healthy school environments – including reasonable who pay the price when schools are not given the tools they class sizes, buildings in proper working condition, and safe indoor need to repair inadequate facilities and accommodate the air quality – are absolutely vital to the success of our students. growing number of students in their hallways. Inside Oregon’s schools, we’re developing communities of vibrant By making two changes, the measure will provide K-12 schools learners and we’re training tomorrow’s workforce. But too many with the ability to keep pace with facilities demands and offer of our school buildings are unequipped or unsafe for the number students a better learning environment. of students who walk through our doors every day. Our students First, the measure defines “capital costs” in section 11L, Article are forced to learn in crowded classrooms. They spend their days XI of the Oregon Constitution, which specifies the allowable inside buildings plagued by mold. And during recess, they play expenditures of a local bond. The new definition is broader outside on equipment that is in dire need of repair or replacement. and covers costs that have a useful life of more than one year, Measure 68 will give our local communities the power to including acquisition, construction, improvement, remodeling, improve conditions in our public schools. furnishing, equipping, maintenance or repair. Costs of routine maintenance or supplies, however, are expressly prohibited in Measure 68 gives our local school districts the ability to the amended definition. respond to or prevent emergencies in school buildings, revers- ing decades of disrepair that have threatened the health and Second, the measure adds a new Article to the Oregon safety of our students. The measure will also allow our local Constitution that allows the state to issue general obligation districts to use state bonds to match locally supported bonds bonds and incur bonded indebtedness to help pay for the cost for funding necessary repairs. of local school capital construction. This new Article gives K-12 schools the same bonding authority as community colleges Measure 68 helps our local dollars stretch further, giving small, and the Oregon University System. By giving school districts rural schools the tools they need to fund school repairs and this bonding authority, the state can stand with its schools and keep costs low. be a financial partner in ensuring the education and future of The 48,000 members of The Oregon Education Association are Oregon’s children.

Measure Oregon has a responsibility to its youth, a responsibility to 68 ensures that locally, we maintain and provide healthy provide them the best education in the best facilities our state environments where our students can academically thrive. can offer. The measure fulfills this obligation by allowing Join Oregon’s teachers and education advocates and VOTE YES schools to access the resources needed to create and maintain on Measure 68. our education facilities. (This information furnished by BethAnne Darby, The Oregon (This legislative argument in support of the ballot measure Education Association.) was provided by the Legislative Assembly of the 2010 February Special Session.) Argument in Favor Vote YES on Measure 68 Help keep Oregon students safe and healthy in their classrooms Every day, students across Oregon are exposed to health hazards like asbestos, mold, and pests, because their school district isn’t able to raise enough money to pay for needed repairs and updates to school buildings. Small, rural schools are the most vulnerable. Voting YES on Measure 68 is the first step toward making sure that every student in Oregon can learn in a safe and healthy environment. As a public health nurse, I strongly urge you to vote YES on Measure 68, so that local communities can begin making effec- tive decisions about how to repair their local school facilities and make them safer for students and staff. Measure 68 will allow the state to issue matching bonds, lowering the costs to local communities. Schools should be a place where children and their teachers feel safe and protected from hazards. Students—and their parents— shouldn’t have to worry that they’ll get sick from their classroom. As a nurse, I know illness can impair a child’s ability to learn, and a teacher’s ability to teach. We owe it to our kids to give them a healthy environment, so they can thrive. We can’t expect to train the workforce of tomorrow in buildings that are making them sick. Please join me, parents, teachers, school advocates, and health professionals in voting YES on Measure 68. Maye Thompson, RN, PhD (This information furnished by Maye Thompson, RN, PhD.)

Argument in Favor Voting YES on Measure 68 will help make sure that every Oregon student is safe in their classroom. Stand for Children urges you to VOTE YES on Measure 68 Rocky Hanes Oregon’s children need safe, healthy, and adequate school President buildings. Tualatin Valley Fire Fighters Local 1660 Across Oregon, overcrowded schools mean students have to (This information furnished by Rocky Hanes, President, stand, or sit on windowsills, in their classes. Some children Tualatin Valley Fire Fighters Local 1660.) spend their days in portables without bathrooms or running water. Lack of cafeteria space in an overcrowded school means some students start lunch at 10:20 am. Chemistry labs built for 25 students now hold 33, forcing them to watch experiments instead of participating. In aging school buildings, student health is compromised by mold, pest infestations, and wood rot. Computer access is limited by outmoded electrical systems that cannot support more than a handful of computers at a time. Common sense tells us we must begin to address this problem, and research shows that student achievement is improved by healthy learning environments. Measure 68 helps improve schools. Measure 68 does two important things. First, it allows the state partner with local school district to improve school buildings. Second, it allows school districts to pass bonds that include critical school infra- structure not currently allowed – like desks and bookcases. These are two common sense solutions to help ensure all children learn in a healthy, safe, and adequate school. Join Stand for Children and VOTE YES on Measure 68. (This information furnished by Dana Hepper, Stand for Children.)

Argument in Favor Your Children’s School Shouldn’t Endanger Their Lives Vote Yes on Measure 68 to Help Local Communities Keep their Schools Safe In November 2009, a three-alarm fire swept through the historic Marysville Elementary School in southeast Portland. Thanks to the quick actions of teachers, faculty, and firefighters, all 460 students made it out safely. Unfortunately, there are countless school buildings across Oregon that are 100 years or more old, and haven’t been updated in many, many years, making them more prone to a disaster like the Marysville School fire. Existing state law makes it nearly impossible for small, rural districts to raise enough money to update or repair their facilities. Measure 68 will help local communities make decisions about updating or repairing their school buildings while keeping local costs low. Every school day, parents entrust their children’s safety to their local schools, and they trust that their school buildings are safe. Your child should be as safe at school as they are at home. As a firefighter, I urge you to vote YES on Measure 68 in order to help keep our students safe. In addition, to keeping students safe, Measure 68 will help ensure that firefighters and emergency responders aren’t endangered by out-of-date buildings and faulty safety measures. As a firefighter, I’m committed to keeping your family and your community safe. Voting YES on Measure 68 will help me and my colleagues do our job by giving local communities the power to make critical repairs and updates to school buildings and facilities. The teachers and faculty at Marysville Elementary School should be commended for the swift action and cool- headedness that kept their students safe. But we should strive to prevent school emergencies before they happen.

Explanatory Statement Oregon’s colleges and universities occasionally need more space for classrooms, laboratories, research programs, faculty offices, and other student and faculty needs. Ballot Measure 69 amends the Oregon Constitution to allow lowest cost general obligation bonds from Article XI-F(1) and Article XI-G to be used for these expansions into existing buildings, not just new facilities. Articles XI-F(1) and XI-G of the Oregon Constitution were adopted in 1950 and 1964, respectively. Since then, the roles and nature of higher education institutions have evolved beyond traditional instruction into areas of research, public service and economic development. Ballot Measure 69 would eliminate outdated provisions and unambiguously allow Ore- gon to issue general obligation bonds for the types of facilities used by today’s community colleges and public universities. Ballot Measure 69 would make it clear that community col- leges and public universities could finance projects that benefit higher education institutions or activities. Current constitu- tional language may limit the projects that may be financed with bonds issued under Articles XI-F(1) and XI-G of the Oregon Constitution. Existing language does not specifically authorize the state to use these lower cost bonds to purchase existing buildings that are less expensive than new construc- tion. Existing language further raises questions about the types of projects that can be financed with general obligation bonds issued under Articles XI-F(1) and XI-G. Ballot Measure 69 continues the requirement that Oregon University System have enough revenues to pay for bonds issued under Article XI-F(1). Current language in Article XI-F(1) of the Oregon Constitution requires projects financed with bonds authorized by this Article to be entirely self-supporting through revenues, gifts, grants or building fees. Ballot Measure 69 changes existing language to allow moneys used to support such projects to originate from any source other than tax revenues appropriated from the General Fund. The measure would also eliminate confusing language that interferes with financing mixed-use projects with proceeds from bonds issued under both Articles XI-F(1) and XI-G of the Oregon Constitution. Current language in the Oregon Constitution requires that Article XI-G bonds be matched by an identical amount of other funds. Ballot Measure 69 continues that requirement, but eliminates requirements that the matched funds be appropri- ated from the State’s General Fund. The measure would allow the matching funds to come from any source other than the proceeds from other general obligation bonds issued by the state. Ballot Measure 69 does not change the process by which bonds are authorized for capital projects.

Association.) Under current law, in order for a college or university to expand classroom and training spaces, they can only use the lowest cost bond to purchase or build new facilities. The Oregon Education Association believes there’s a more effective way to use these bonds to meet the needs of our students, which will save money and conserve resources. Measure 69 will fix the law by allowing colleges and universi- ties to use bond funds to purchase existing buildings for expansion needs. This will help our higher-ed institutions avoid the undue expense of building completely new structures, and will protect our state’s precious environmental resources. Our communities already have structures in place where we can create positive education experiences for our growing student populations. We can meet the needs of our students if the law provides accessible and fiscally responsible solutions. Measure 69 ensures we make the most effective use of local resources for campus expansion projects by acquiring and renovating buildings that already exist in our communities – instead funneling money into new construction. Most important – every dollar saved as a result of Measure 69 stays with our local public colleges and universities, support- ing the programs our students need in order to be successful in the workforce. Join Oregon’s community college faculty and education advocates and VOTE YES on Measure 69 – the common sense solution for a better Oregon future.

Tax revenue expenditures would be tied to measurable outcomes and subject to annual audits. The County proposes to enact a local option tax of $.05 per $1,000 of assessed value each year for five years starting in 2010-2011. The total to be raised by this local option tax is estimated at $1,178,784 in 2010- 2011, $1,214,147.52 in 2011-2012, $1,250,571.95 in 2012-2013, $1,288,089.10 in 2013-2014, and $1,326,731.78 in 2014-2015.

Explanatory Statement If approved, Measure 20-158 would authorize Lane County to levy a local option tax to provide dedicated funding for Extension and 4-H educational programs. The tax would raise approximately $1.2 million each year and cost five cents for each $1,000 of assessed property value beginning in 2010-11 and ending in 2014-15. The owner of a home with an assessed value of $200,000 would pay an additional $10 each year for five years. The proposed $1,178,548 annual budget would provide funding for building rent, operations and contingency (28.5%); program expenses (22.9%); and salaries and benefits for ten full time equivalent (FTE) support staff (48.6%). The estimated average compensation package for the 10 FTE staff is $57,200. Local fund- ing is required to receive federal and state funds for Extension faculty positions. In 2008-09, reductions in federal timber harvests and a decline in federal funding caused Lane County to withdraw its financial support for Extension, except for rent forgiveness. As a result, Extension cut its faculty, support staff and programs by 25 percent. Lane Extension is part of Oregon State University’s off-campus educational system. Its programs, based on OSU’s research and information, are tailored to meet local needs. Extension has been active in Lane County since 1914, helping urban, suburban, and rural families, youth, and seniors get informa- tion and develop skills. Woodland managers, farmers, ranchers and business owners get information to improve production and conserve resources. In Lane County, 4.6 OSU faculty provide leadership for Exten- sion’s educational programs through training and support of approximately 600 volunteers. Faculty, volunteers, program and office staff make an estimated 65,000 educational contacts each year through: • 4-H Youth Development promoting leadership, personal responsibility, citizenship, and communication skills through projects/activities in animal science, natural resources, science and technology, nutrition, food preparation, horticulture, and expressive arts. • Master Gardener programs including workshops on pruning, growing family gardens, creating and managing sustainable home landscapes and conserving natural resources. • Master Food Preserver and Food Pantry programs helping people prepare and preserve food safely, stretch their house- hold dollar and prepare healthy meals using goods in food pantry boxes. • Compost Specialist and Climate Masters programs teaching people how to reduce organic waste and greenhouse gas emis- sions in their home, yard and community. • Nutrition education programs promoting healthy eating and exercise for youth. • Commercial agriculture and small farms workshops teaching how to improve crop, orchard and vineyard yields, minimize pesticide and fertilizer use, protect soil and water and increase profitability. If Measure 20-158 is approved, Extension would restore Master Woodland Managers, a program that provides information about the planting, growth, management, and harvest of profitable, healthy stands of timber.

Voters with Disabilities The Oregon Secretary of State and the Elections Division are committed to making voting more accessible to people with disabilities.

Alternate Format Ballots The Alternate Format Ballots (AFB) are voting tools that are available to voters with disabilities. There are two types of AFB’s. The e-ballot allows voters with disabilities who are unable to mark a printed ballot to vote privately and independently at home if they have, or have access to, a computer with a web browser and a printer. The Large Print Ballot (LPB) can be provided to voters with disabilities who are unable to read and mark the standard ballot. Call 1-866-ORE VOTE/ 673-8683 or your county elections official for more information.

Accessible Computer Stations To accommodate voters with disabilities who do not have, or have access to, the required technology to vote the e-ballot from home, every county elections office will have at least two Accessible Computer Stations (ACS), one permanent and one portable. The permanent ACS is located at the county elections office and voters can go to the office and vote privately and independently using the e-ballot. The portable station allows county election officials to, upon request, take the ACS to remote locations or a location agreed upon by the voter and the county elections officials to accommodate participation in the voting process using the e-ballot.

Voting Assistance Teams Any voter with a disability who needs assistance can request assistance from the county elections office. A nonpartisan voting assistance team can provide assistance marking a ballot, using the ACS to mark an e-ballot, providing a LPB, or completing a voter registration card.
