    June 22, 2020 Senate President Peter Courtney House Speaker Tina Kotek Oregon State Capitol 900 Court Street NE Salem, Oregon 97301 Sent via email Re: Statutory Corrections to the Corporate Activity Tax (H.B. 4009-A, 2020) Dear Senate President Courtney and House Speaker Kotek, On behalf of the Smart Growth Coalition and Council On State Taxation (C.O.S.T.), we are writing to express our continued concerns regarding statutory ambiguities complicating the implementation of the corporate activity tax (C.A.T.) and the crucial need for corrective legislation in the upcoming special session. To be clear, we are not asking for delaying the implementation or changing the structural design of the tax, but to enact clarifying amendments proposed during the 2020 session. While our organizations approached the enabling legislation differently, we are aligned in our commitment to working alongside the executive and legislative branches to ensure the C.A.T. functions as intended by the legislature. Through the development of the rules and regulations, however, it has become clear there are significant statutory ambiguities regarding the statutory subtraction, filing groups, and filing period. These provisions are inherently technical but represent the underpinnings required for every taxpayer to calculate the tax, and, thus, pose significant administrative and compliance obstacles without clarification. During the 2020 session, we worked closely with a technical working group to identify and recommend corrective measures to simplify the administrative and compliance burdens. Together with the Oregon Department of Revenue (“Department”) and Legislative Revenue Office, we agreed to a series of statutory corrections designed to resolve the known ambiguities.

The House is ready to lead on the issues that matter most in people’s lives right now. We also need to create the space to have a focused conversation about long-term, transformational changes to modernize the people’s legislature,” Speaker Kotek said. “I’m grateful for the diverse perspectives that my colleagues will bring as we all work together to help Oregonians navigate the big challenges that lie ahead.” Speaker Kotek communicated directly with every returning and new member of the Oregon House of Representatives before deciding on committee assignments, taking the time to weigh and discuss their priorities, interests and notable experience. She also consulted with both caucus leaders before finalizing the assignments. The House will convene on Monday, January 11 to swear in members.

  • May 17, 2021 Senator Fred Girod, Co-Chair Representative Paul
    May 17, 2021 Senator Fred Girod, Co-Chair Representative Paul Holvey, Co-Chair Ways & Means Subcommittee on Capital Construction RE: Safety Improvements for OR-213 (82nd Avenue) in the Portland Metro Area Dear Co-Chairs Girod and Holvey: State highway OR-213, also known as 82nd Avenue in the Portland Metro Area, is a high crash corridor that is home to some of the most diverse census tracts in Oregon. We are calling for extensive safety improvements to address a concerning pattern of traffic fatalities in this region. Like other state-owned highways under Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) jurisdiction, OR-213 was originally part of Oregon’s highway system to move goods from “farm to market,” but its use has changed to serve as a local road for the surrounding community. In 2018, ODOT released the “82nd Avenue of Roses Implementation Plan” that identified safety improvements needed to adapt this highway to local needs, including additional pedestrian crossings and signal improvements. Funding has not been secured to implement these recommended improvements. While the state continues to delay meeting its responsibility for the safety needs of the corridor, people are being injured and hurt on a regular basis. For example, just this past month, there were two separate pedestrian fatalities at the intersection of NE 82nd Ave and Alberta. Last week, the Oregon Transportation Committee approved $3.35 million for pedestrian safety upgrades on 82nd Avenue. This level of funding is embarrassingly inadequate to meet urgent safety needs. Upon review of the investment need identified by ODOT and PBOT for 82nd Avenue, we are calling for a $80 million investment in the 2021-23 budget for 82nd Avenue.
