  • Metro Councilor Tanya Collier
    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.

  • An Amicus Curiae Brief
    APPENDIX WILLAMETTE LAW REVIEW Volume 39:4 Fall 2003 STATE COURT RESPONSIBILITY FOR MAINTAINING “REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT”: AN AMICUS CURIAE BRIEF DAVID B. FROHNMAYER* HANS A. LINDE** Editor’s Historical Note: In 1997, the Oregon Supreme Court declined to adjudicate whether an initiative that amended the state constitution restricted legislative power by a process inconsistent with a republican form of government as the court had previously interpreted that constitutional guarantee.1 The case involved a mandatory sentencing law that the trial judge refused to apply on other constitutional grounds, and the prosecution, being unable to appeal the sentence imposed, proceeded by a writ of mandamus against the judge in the supreme court.2 Among many other claims, the State Public Defender pursued the argument that the initiative had departed from republican government by placing the mandatory sentencing law beyond the ordinary legislative process. The supreme court, by a 4-2 vote departing from a preceding opinion, held that Pacific Telephone Co. v. Oregon3 and later decisions of the United States Supreme Court deprived state courts of authority to decide claims under the federal Guarantee Clause.4 The Public Defender petitioned the United States Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari to review this issue. The State at first filed no response to the petition. A brief amicus curiae, however, was filed by President David B. Frohnmayer of the University of Oregon, a former law professor and Oregon Attorney General, and Professor Hans A Linde, a retired judge of the Oregon Supreme Court, which supported the petition for certiorari. After the United States Supreme Court took the infrequent step of asking the State for a response, the Department of Justice responded by raising a question whether the retirement of the * President, University of Oregon; former Professor and Dean of the School of Law; former Attorney General of Oregon.
