Wednesday, December 14, 2016 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon ‘In A Galilee Far, Far Away...’ Oregon businesses suggest compromise with lawmakers BEND (AP) — Representatives from some of Oregon’s biggest businesses have expressed a willingness to consider tax increases to help fund state services as long as legislators are willing to compromise. The Bulletin of Bend reports that at the Oregon Leadership Summit on Monday businesses joined school districts, Republicans and some Democrats in calling for the state to curb government spending, par- ticularly in the state’s retire- ment system for public employees. PacifiCorp Transmission CEO Pat Reiten says busi- ness leaders are willing to talk about revenues, but that that conversation needs to include talks about costs and cost management. Tillamook County Creamery Association CEO Patrick Criteser says unless the state addresses the retire- ment system, any new taxes will just be going to pay old obligations.

However, he’ll take December. “To have snow when school’s out and people are vacationing — huge,” he said. In fact, he noted, the week starting December 26 can be spectacular. “That’s our busiest week of the year — if there’s snow,” he said. The impact of snow rip- ples out to all sorts of busi- nesses that cater to visitors who want to come to Sisters and play in the snow. Conditions bode well for that white Christmas in Sisters, with more snow expected Wednesday through Friday. Wednesday should be the big snow day, with three to five inches possi- ble. Snow showers are pre- dicted through the rest of the week. 1 2 How can PAIN AIN RELIEF: RELIE IEF: F: Studies S tu tudi dies es show s ho how ow w that th at practicing p ra ract ctic icin ingg yoga yo ga reduces r ed educ uces es acute a c utt & chronic h i p pain.* a n ai FLEXIBILITY: L EXIBILITY: E XIBILITY: LITY: Improved mprove p fl exibility, ex #5 ity, y TO mobility, y and posture; increased eas range ra rang nge of o f ...
