Who’s running; who’s not. Candidates for the Oregon Legislature had until 5:00 PM on Filing Day, March 11, to file their intent to run this year. Is there a mass exodus from the Oregon Legislature, as you might infer from the publicity? Not really. Most of the thirty current State Senators will return for the ’05 session. In the House, 42 out of sixty incumbents are seeking re- election. Odds are most of them will win. What IS true is that several legislators with a wealth of experience will not becoming back. Here is a summary of who’s running and who’s not . In the State Senate (thirty members) . Four Senators have resigned since the ’03 session convened: John Minnis (R-Gresham), Lenn Hannon (R-Ashland), Tony Corcoran (D-Cottage Grove), and Bev Clarno (R-Bend). All four seats have been filled for the rest of this year by appointment. Floyd Prozanski (D-Eugene), who replaced Corcoran, and Ben Westlund (R-Bend), who replaced Clarno, are expected to win election to their new Senate seats in November. John Lim (R-Gresham), who replaced Minnis, and Sal Esquivel (R-Medford), who replaced Hannon, are running for the House instead of trying to stay in the Senate. Three incumbent Senators are NOT seeking re-election: Bill Fisher (R-Roseburg), Ken Messerle (R-Coquille) and Steve Harper (R-Klamath Falls). 10 Senators are running for re-election (besides Prozanski and Westlund): Jason Atkinson (R-Jacksonville), Roger Beyer (R- Molalla), Kate Brown (D-Portland), Ginny Burdick (D- Portland), Margaret Carter (D-Portland), Ryan Deckert (D- Beaverton), Ted Ferrioli (R-John Day), Gary George (R- McMinnville), Avel Gordly (D-Portland), and Dave Nelson (D-Pendleton). All are expected to win re-election. 13 Senators are in the middle of their four-year terms and don’t have to run this year: Peter Courtney (D-Salem), Richard Devlin (D- Tualatin), Joan Dukes (D-Astoria), Rick Metsger (D-Welches), Bill Morrisette (D-Springfield), Frank Morse (R-Albany), Charlie Ringo (D- Portland), Kurt Schrader (D-Canby), Frank Shields (D-Portland), Bruce Starr (R-Hillsboro), Charles Starr (R-Hillsboro), Vicki Walker (D- Eugene), and Jackie Winters (R-Salem). Winters is running for Congress, but will stay in the State Senate if she loses. In the House (sixty members) . Four House members have resigned . Lane Shetterly (R- Dallas) and Max Williams (R-Tigard) accepted appointments from the Governor. Floyd Prozanski and Ben Westlund left to fill Senate seats. 14 other House members are NOT seeking re-election . *Alan Bates (D-Ashland), Betsy Close (R-Albany), Pat Farr (R-Eugene), Elaine Hopson (D-Tillamook), Deborah Kafoury (D-Portland), Tim Knopp (R- Bend), *Jeff Kruse (R- Roseburg), John Mabrey (R-The Dalles), Randy Miller (R- Lake Oswego), *Laurie Monnes Anderson (D-Gresham), Rob Patridge (R-Medford), *Joanne Verger (D-Coos Bay), Max Williams (R- Tigard) and Cliff Zauner (R-Woodburn). *Bates, Kruse, Monnes Anderson and Verger are running for the Senate. 42 House members are running for re-election . Robert Ackerman (D-Eugene), Gordon Anderson (R-Grants Pass), Brad Avakian (D- Beaverton), Vic Backlund (R-Salem), Jeff Barker (D-Aloha), Phil Barnhart (D-Eugene), Vicki Berger (R-Salem), Terry Beyer (D- Springfield), Alan Brown (R- Newport), Tom Butler (R-Ontario), Billy Dalto (R-Salem), Jackie Dingfelder (D-Portland), Dan Doyle (R-Salem), Linda Flores (R-Boring), Mary Gallegos (R-Cornelius), Bill Garrard (R- Klamath Falls), George Gilman (R-Medford), Mitch Greenlick (D- Portland), Gary Hansen (D-Portland), Mark Hass (D-Portland), Dave Hunt (D-Oregon City), Bob Jenson (R-Pendleton), Betsy Johnson (D- Scappoose), Derrick Kitts (R-Hillsboro), Wayne Krieger (R-Gold Beach), Jeff Kropf (R- Sublimity), Jerry Krummel (R- Wilsonville), Greg Macpherson (D-Lake Oswego), Steve March (D- Portland), Jeff Merkley (D-Portland), Karen Minnis (R-Troutdale), Susan Morgan (R-Roseburg), Donna Nelson (R- McMinnville), Mary Nolan (D-Portland), Dennis Richardson (R-Central Point), Diane Rosenbaum (D- Portland), Mike Schaufler (D-Happy Valley), Wayne Scott (R-Canby), Greg Smith (R-Heppner), Patti Smith (R-Corbett), Carolyn Tomei (D- Milwaukie), and Kelley Wirth (D-Corvallis). Coming back? Several familiar faces from past Legislatures are seeking to return. Former Rep. Del Parks (R-Klamath Falls) is challenging incumbent Rep. Bill Garrard in the May Republican primary. Former Rep. Judy Uherbelau (D- Ashland) is running for the House seat being vacated by Senate candidate Rep. Al Bates. Former Rep. Ron Sunseri (R- Gresham) is running for the Senate. The “Rat Bastards” — Where are they now? We didn’t come up with this name for the 11 House Republicans who supported the referral of Measure 30. But someone did and it caught on. Some used it affectionately; others, pejoratively. Led by Lane Shetterly (R- Dallas), the 11 believed a temporary tax increase was needed to balance the state’s budget without damaging vital services. The 11 Republicans joined the 25 House Democrats to give the tax measure the 36 votes it needed to pass and be referred to the voters. Six months later, where are “rat bastards?” Lane Shetterly resigned to take the Governor’s appointment to run the state’s Department of Land Conservation and Development (LCDC). Max Williams (R-Tigard) resigned to accept the Governor’s appointment to run the State Corrections Division. Rob Patridge (R-Medford), Pat Farr (R-Eugene) and John Mabrey (R-The Dalles) are not seeking re-election. Vic Backlund (R-Salem) and Susan Morgan (R-Roseburg) face anti- tax Republican opponents in the May primary. Morgan’s race may be especially tough, since pundits in the Roseburg area dubbed Measure 30 the “Morgan tax.” Vicki Berger (R-Salem), Billy Dalto (R- Salem), and Mary Gallegos (R-Hillsboro) have no primary opposition, but face Democrats in November. Gallegos will have an extra challenge. Tom Cox, Libertarian candidate for Governor in ’02, plans to run against her in November. Of the 11 “rat bastards,” only Bob Jenson (R-Pendleton) has an easy re-election – no opponent in either the primary or the general election. Whatever one thought of Measure 30, the 11 Republicans who helped pass it included some of the best and brightest Oregon legislators. Five of the 11 will definitely not be returning. At least three others are in some danger of being defeated. For the time being at least, the fate of the “rat bastards” does not bode well for tax reform, much less a tax increase, in the near future.

Grand Opening for Jackson County Central, Rogue CC Please join us at the grand opening celebration for the new Jackson County Central Library and Rogue Community College Library in downtown Medford on Sunday, April 4, 2004. Events start at 11 a.m. with a symbolic book brigade. Ninety- two books will be passed by hand along the streets of Medford to their new location, one for each year since the now-empty Carnegie library first opened in 1912. The dedication ceremony and ribbon cutting begins at noon, followed by tours, author readings and book signings, storytelling, "Tears of Joy" live family theater, and a "River of Knowledge" juried art display. This is the first joint-use public and academic library to be constructed in Oregon and one of very few in the entire nation. The 80,000 square foot building is contemporary in its design, executed with traditional materials and forms (masonry, stone, and pre-cast concrete in natural tones) with expansive windows and skylights. One of the most technologically advanced buildings in the region, the library has a fiber optic and copper distribution system feeding public and staff computer terminals and workstations. Wireless technology makes it possible for library users to access the Internet from virtually anywhere in the building. RCC maintains a 35 person computer lab plus language and telecourse labs. "River of Knowledge" was chosen as a theme to inspire the library's public art as well as architectural features. A granite garden by artist Scott Murase adjoins an outdoor water feature. A quotation by Andrew Carnegie is inscribed by master carver Alan Collins in the exterior stone. Bronze sculptor Peter Helzer created ceremonial gates at the entrances to reading rooms, plus a "monster bench" and opossum coat hooks in the children's library. Display cases and picture rails throughout the public spaces will have changing art exhibits.

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, As our nation and our state climb slowly out of an historic recession, the challenges we face remain great. This primary election provides the opportunity for all voters to decide on a variety of nonpartisan races and two statewide ballot measures. It also allows the two major parties to select their nominees for offices from the US Senate and Congress, to Governor and the state Legislature. You, the voters, are in the driver’s seat, making important choices about the future leaders of this state and country. As your Secretary of State, I write to urge you to register and VOTE. Now more than ever the voices of Oregonians must be heard. While we face the continuation of a grim economic climate, as families struggle to make ends meet, businesses work hard to remain competitive and our governments strive to meet increasing demands for public services, there is some good news to share. Oregon has made great strides to make it easy and convenient to register and vote. On March 1, 2010, we made it simpler, more efficient and more secure to register to vote through Oregon’s online voter registration system. You can register online if you have an Oregon driver’s license, state ID or driver’s permit.

    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.

  • Lee Beyer Announces Plans to Run for Re-Election to Senate District 6, Representing Central Lane and Linn Counties
    LEE BEYER ANNOUNCES PLANS TO RUN FOR RE-ELECTION TO SENATE DISTRICT 6, REPRESENTING CENTRAL LANE AND LINN COUNTIES Current Public Utility Commission Chair will leave position to run for re-election to Oregon State Senate November 12, 2009 SPRINGFIELD – Current Public Utility Commission Chair Lee Beyer announced today his intention to seek election to Senate District 6 during the 2010 election. Senate District 6 covers central Lane and Linn counties including the communities of Brownsville, Coburg, Creswell, Eugene, Sodaville, and Springfield. Beyer previously represented most of the area before being appointed to the PUC in 2001 and legislative reapportionment. “I am fortunate to have been allowed to spent over three decades representing the public in various capacities,” said Beyer. “While my current position has been challenging and rewarding, the timing is right for me to retire from full-time employment and return to a job I’ve always loved – serving my fellow citizens in our state’s Legislature.” In 2001 Gov. Kitzhaber appointed Beyer to the Oregon Public Utility Commission. Gov. Kulongoski asked Beyer to chair the Commission in 2003, serving as the agency’s chief executive. As a commissioner he has been responsible for protecting consumers and businesses from unfair rate hikes and poor service by telephone providers and energy companies. Beyer will retire from the Commission in early spring. "Lee has proven himself as an effective legislator for the citizens of Lane County and as an effective advocate for the citizens of Oregon as the chair of the Public Utility Commission," said Governor Ted Kulongoski. "While his leadership will be missed at the PUC, the citizens of Oregon will continue to benefit from his public service as the next State Senator serving District 6." Beyer has a long history of public service to Oregon, including over 10 years of previous experience in both the Senate and the House.
