Deficit rises $100 million; Atiyeh submits proposals Salem (AR) — Gov. Vic Atiyeh planned to submit new proposals to the Legislature today to deal with a projected budget deficit that soared by almost $100 million in an updat ed forecast issued Monday The governor said Monday he was considering numerous revenue-raising measures to help erase a potential deficit now estimated at $337 million in the current two-year budget. Atiyeh said he won't propose additional state agency spend ing cuts beyond the $120 million he sought when the lawmakers began their special session Jan. 18 The Legislature was to reconvene today after a week long recess sparked by preliminary reports of the deepening budget crunch The lawmakers were dead locked in a largely partisan struggle over whether to raise income taxes when they recessed Tuesday Chang Sohn, economist for the state Executive Department, told a joint meeting of the House and Senate revenue commit tees Monday that the projected deficit is $99.8 million larger than was previously estimated, mainly because of declining es timates of income tax collec tions. Atiyeh didn't specify what new measures he had in mind but indicated that reducing state property tax relief was a possibility. "I’m looking at everything,” he told a news conference Legislative leaders said they might adjourn the special ses sion while committees work on a new budget-balancing plan and ask Atiyeh to convene a new session in a week or two Adjourning the session would eliminate a legal obstacle con fronting lawmakers seeking donations for the May primary election State law forbids legislators from soliciting campaign money from lobbyists during legislative sessions The Legislature tech nically remains in session dur ing recesses but not if the ses sion adjourns and reconvenes later. House Speaker Hardy Myers, D-Portland, and Senate President Fred Heard, D Klamath Falls, said they wouldn’t decide whether to adjourn and let most legislators go home for awhile until they knew details of Atiyeh's recom mendations. Heard and Myers said some lawmakers fear that the budget crunch may get even worse, but the governor disagreed. "I think this projection is pretty close to the worst case,” Atiyeh said Dorms Continued from Page 1 rates will not be known until they go on sale in late March All schools share in paying only the interest on bonds, which are purchased by the general public PSU pays off its bond and must provide $600,000 in "up-front" money to guarantee interest will be paid for 2 Vi years, Perry says.
