McCall assistant
| reports on legislature
Bob Davis, executive assistant to Gov. Tom McCall,
spoke to the Rubicons Friday, commenting on what is hap
§ pening in the state legislature.
Davis spoke first of the defeated McCall tax plan,
| outlining two major problems the plan attempted to deal with
I— a shift of more of the tax burden from individuals to
businesses, and a solid funding arrangement for primary and
secondary schooling in the state.
Individuals under the present system, said Davis, are
paying more taxes than businesses. Homeowners are ac
tually paying to reduce taxes on businesses, he said.
The McCall tax plan, which proposed to solve both these
B dilemmas, was “just a little ahead of its time,” commented
:• Davis. If there had been time for people to sit down and
understand it, it would have passed, he said; “Taxes are an
l emotional issue — people want to talk about them, but don’t
want to think about them.”
Davis also mentioned a number of bills the legislature is
currently considering.
One subject dealt with by this legislation is land use.
Davis said that the legislature is now in a position to deal with
•: land use and zoning problems on a state-wide basis. SB 100 is
:■ a start, he said, but not a complete answer; the state also
needs a code and regulations dealing with subdivisions. And,
j: he said, a state-wide building code is essential.
Davis spoke, too, of a bill designed to merge all the trans
portation agencies into one commission so that all modes of
transportation will receive “proper attention.”
Davis stated that he will consider the session a failure if
the legislature doesn’t pass a constitutional amendment
: allowing the use of highway-dedicated gas tax for mass
transit funds. This doesn’t mean that all the money should
: suddenly be given to buses and railroads, he said, but they
i should have the capability of doing so.
He also mentioned a proposal to authorize the highway
commission to sell $100 million in bonds to be used for
l primary and secondary highway construction.

Paul Ollswang thinks Hlazzi’s is the greatest
little Italian restaurant outside New York.
And Paul should know. The first three
quarters of this talented fellow’s life he spent
in the streets of New York, collecting data for
a prolific puberty. Paul, in a fit of John
Wayne moved to Oregon and joined Morris
Yarowski’s Jug Band and became a hippie.
The first Jewish hippie to hit the city, we’re
told. Anyway, Paul was duly commissioned
to do the menus at Mazzi’s, and so doing, fell
in love with the cooking. We asked him to do
this ad, and he said he’d love to, because
Ollswang “doesn’t merely THINK that
Mazzi’s is a good restaurant, considered as
absolute, but, rather APPREHENDS the
existence of Mazzi’s considered within the
dialectic of WORLD as WILL and IDEA.”
He’s a nice boy. Thank you Paul.
