PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release For More Information, Contact: June 3, 2015 Scott Moore (503) 986-1904 [email protected] Role of First Partner to be Clarified Under House Bill HB 2020 defines the role of the First Partner, bans speaking fees, and requires other public disclosure from Governor’s staff Under a bill passed by the Oregon House this morning, the roles and responsibilities of Oregon’s First Partner will be clarified and defined in state statute. House Bill 2020 is part of bipartisan package of bills, proposed by Governor Kate Brown, to begin the work of restoring the public’s faith in state government. It was co-sponsored by House Speaker Tina Kotek, House Majority Leader Val Hoyle, Senate President Peter Courtney, Senate Majority Leader Diane Rosenbaum, and Senate Minority Leader Ted Ferrioli. HB 2020 addresses a longstanding lack of clarity around the official roles and responsibilities of the First Partner. The bill recognizes that the person who is the Governor’s partner – the First Lady or the First Gentleman – serves in a public role. To this end, the bill makes clear that the First Partner is a statutorily defined position. Additionally, HB 2020 prohibits the Governor, First Partner, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, Attorney General and Commissioner of Bureau of Labor and Industries from receiving speaking fees while in office. It also requires the First Partner and key advisors in the Governor’s office to fill out Statement of Economic Interest forms. “It’s become crystal clear that we’ve got a lot of work to do to restore the public’s trust in those they’ve elected to represent them,” says Rep. Val Hoyle (D-West Eugene & Junction City), who carried the bill. “There’s no single bill that will accomplish that goal, but I believe that by working together—across the aisle—to make real, meaningful improvements, we can increase transparency and improve accountability.” HB 2020 passed 58-1 and now heads to the Senate for consideration. ### .

November 7, 2016 the Honorable Kate Brown Governor of Oregon
OREGON LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY November 7, 2016 The Honorable Kate Brown Governor of Oregon State Capitol Salem, Oregon Dear Governor Brown, As legislators and colleagues, we understand the many demands on our state’s limited debt capacity. However, we believe next session presents unique opportunities for the State of Oregon to partner with universities to increase student access and promote economic development. The high-impact nature of many of these projects warrants reimagining traditional levels of bonding capacity designated for higher education. That is why we are requesting that you propose a budget for the 2017-19 biennium that includes an increase in the amount of capital construction capacity allocated to Oregon’s public universities. The return on investment in public university infrastructure extend far beyond simple brick and mortar. With investments in facilities, Oregonians see better access for low-income, minority, and first-generation students, higher rates of college completion, enhanced quality of teaching and learning, higher capacity for research and economic development activity, more energy efficient and sustainable campuses, and job creation in every corner of our state. Recent acts of philanthropy and opportunities to invest in growing areas of the state present a distinctive set of circumstances that merit investment above historic levels. Whether it is the opportunity to leverage 10:1 the recent gift that Phil and Penny Knight gave to the University of Oregon for applied scientific research, or the ability to increase access to education for Oregonians in Central Oregon, we believe increased investment in the upcoming budget will benefit Oregon students and the economy.

October 23, 2020 the Honorable Speaker Tina Kotek the Honorable President Peter Courtney Oregon Legislative Emergency Board State Capitol, Salem Oregon
October 23, 2020 The Honorable Speaker Tina Kotek The Honorable President Peter Courtney Oregon Legislative Emergency Board State Capitol, Salem Oregon Dear Emergency Board Co-Chairs and Members: We write to you in our functions as co-chairs of the Governor’s Wildfire Economic Recovery Council. In our two meetings as a council we have reviewed the level of destruction, immediate and long-term challenges for our communities, and many of the decisions required at all levels of government to facilitate a rapid, but prudent, launch of recovery efforts. Our council was provided with information regarding the overall financing of recovery efforts consisting of three options: Direct Federal Assistance; State Managed, Locally Coordinated; and Locally Managed. Each option presents trade-offs between decision-making authority, financial risk, and accountability. We have considered and examined these trade-offs to the maximum degree possible in a short timeframe. It is our recommendation, and that of the Council, that Oregon pursue the State Managed, Locally Coordinated option. This reflects not only our considerations, but also the recommendations of the regional advisory groups convened in each of the fire affected areas. We believe the State Managed, Locally Coordinated approach strikes the best balance between control, speed, and risk among the very complicated and expensive options available to address such an unprecedented disaster. Additionally, we strongly support the Emergency Board request from ODOT to increase its Other Fund expenditure limitation by $295,700,000 for hazard tree removal, and the additional $50 million General Fund allocation from the Emergency Fund for ash and debris removal.
