Voters' Pamphlet Voters’ Pamphlet Oregon General Election November 6, 2012 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, Welcome to the 2012 General Election Voters’ Pamphlet. Enclosed you will fi nd valuable information about candidates and issues. If you are not yet registered to vote, you have until October 16, 2012 to do so. Here in Oregon we have made it easy for eligible Oregonians to register, update your registration and track your ballot. Simply visit www.oregonvotes.gov. Over the past four years, my offi ce has made a number of improvements to Oregon’s elections process in order to increase access to the ballot. In addition to introducing online voter registration in our state, my Elections Division replaced the old, cumbersome voting machines formerly used by disabled voters with handheld tablet devices like Apple’s iPad. Oregon is the fi rst state in the nation to use tablet technology to help voters with disabilities mark their ballots. Also, Oregon was recently recognized as an All-Star state by the national Military Voter Protection Project for our extraordinary efforts to promote and protect the voting rights of America’s military service members and their families. The Secretary of State’s Offi ce now offers electronic and web-based services ensuring those who put their lives on the line can have their voice heard in every election. As your Secretary of State, my goal is to engage all eligible Oregonians in the elections process and encourage them to exercise their most fundamental right to vote. If you’re questioning how much of a difference your one vote can make, then consider this: I won my fi rst race for the state House by a mere seven votes. Every vote does count. Your vote is your voice and every voice matters. Please remember all ballots must be received by your county elections offi ce by 8 p.m. on November 6, 2012. Postmarks do not count. If you have questions please call our toll free hotline at 1-866-ORE-VOTE, or visit our website at www.oregonvotes.gov.

    The Contributions of Indian Gaming to Oregon’s Economy in 2006 A Market and Economic Impact Analysis for the Oregon Tribal Gaming Alliance June 30, 2008 ECONOMICS • FINANCE • PLANNING 888 SW Fifth Avenue Suite 1460 Portland, Oregon 97204 503-222-6060 www.econw.com Section I Executive Summary Assignment The Oregon Tribal Gaming Alliance (“OTGA”) is a coalition of nine Indian tribes in Oregon. Each owns and operates a casino in the state. The OTGA retained ECONorthwest to conduct a market and economic impact analysis of the tribal casino gaming industry in Oregon for the year 2006. This is the fourth year such an analysis has been done. The data presented in this report come from various sources, but primarily from OTGA member tribes. They provided audited operating data on their casinos and related activities such as hotels and restaurants. The tribes also prepared lists of charities and donations made by OTGA members through their charitable foundations and businesses. Riley Research Associates provided the results of a survey for this analysis. Statistics from state and federal government sources, such as the Oregon Lottery and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, were also used to produce this report. This report replicates past work where the size and impact of tribal gaming in Oregon had been measured. Three additional research elements are included in this analysis. Overall, the following key topics are examined in this report: • Economic impacts of tribal gaming: What was the total economic impact of tribal gaming on the Oregon economy in 2006 and how does it compare with previous years? • The size of the gaming market in Oregon: How much gambling was conducted in Oregon in 2006 and how much money did Oregonians spend? What share of the total gaming in Oregon was attributable to the nine tribes and the Oregon Lottery? How has the market changed over the past decade? • Charitable contributions by tribes: All nine tribes make donations to area charities and most have established charitable community foundations financed by casino gaming revenues.
