The Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP), a unit of the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University, also reports that Brown will be Oregon’s second woman governor, following in the footsteps of Barbara Roberts, who served from 1991-95. She will be the 37th woman governor overall, and the 22nd Democratic woman, to lead a state’s government.

Additional general information about governors is available on the website of Eagleton’s Center on the American Governor.

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.

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.

Oregon November 6, 2013 Gov. John Kitzhaber Chairman The Honorable Harry Reid The Honorable John Boehner South Dakota Majority Leader Speaker of the House Gov. Dennis Daugaard Vice Chairman U.S. Senate U.S. House of Representatives S-221 U.S. Capitol Building H-232 U.S. Capitol Building Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Minority Leader Minority Leader S-230 U.S. Capitol Building H-204 U.S. Capitol Building Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Leader Reid, Leader McConnell, Speaker Boehner, and Leader Pelosi: Almost a year ago, many of our citizens who work in the wind industry were subjected to an unnecessary series of layoffs and hardships because Congress failed to extend the wind energy production tax credit in a responsible and timely manner. Across the nation — from Oregon to Vermont — thousands of Americans working in one of the nation’s most important growth energy industries lost their jobs. We were witness to the hardships that over 5,000 Americans had to endure when they lost their jobs because of the anticipated expiration of the tax credit. After Congress passed the tax credit extension in January, the nation’s wind industry began a very troubled recovery. The clearest example is the loss of investments. In 2012, the wind industry invested nearly $25 billion. In the first six months of 2013, the wind industry installed just one turbine — a 99 percent drop in investments. This Congressionally sanctioned uncertainty has hit the nation’s wind industry incredibly hard. The current wind energy production tax credit is due to expire on December 31, 2013.

Metro Councilor Tanya Collier District 9, 1986 to 1993 Oral History ca. 1993 Tanya Collier Metro Councilor, District 9 1986 – 1993 Tanya Collier was born in Tulare, California in 1946, and moved to Portland, Oregon with her family in 1950, where she attended a number of public grade schools, including West Gresham, Lane, Kelly, Binnsmead, and Kellogg, before enrolling in St. Anthony’s Catholic School. She graduated from John Marshall High School in southeast Portland, and went on to earn an Associate of Arts degree in Political Science at Clackamas Community College in 1973. In 1975, Ms. Collier earned a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Portland State University (PSU), and received a Master’s of Public Administration degree from PSU in 1979. Ms. Collier’s path to elected office was marked by both professional and voluntary activities in the public and non-profit sectors. Over a ten year period, she gained valuable experience in public policy development through her work as executive director of Multnomah County Children’s Commission (1976-1978); as staff assistant to Multnomah County Commissioner Barbara Roberts (1978); as special project manager at the City of Portland’s Bureau of Budget and Management (1980); and as assistant director and later, director of Multnomah County’s Department of Intergovernmental Relations and Community Affairs (1980-1983). In October 1983, she was hired as the general manager of Portland Energy Conservation, Inc. (PECI) – a non-profit corporation charged with implementing the private sector goals of the City of Portland’s Energy policy. In March 1985, Ms. Collier applied her special skills in group negotiation to her position as labor representative with the Oregon Nurses Association – a position she retained while holding elected office at Metro.
