Sales Tax Legislative leaders decided Thursday to postpone for several weeks the issue of how to distribute money raised through a sales tax. The sales tax package passed by the House Feb. 22 did not stipulate how the revenues would be distributed among the state’s school districts. Senate Revenue Committee Chair Ron Monroe, D-Portland, said the distribution issue would have to be resolved in order to get the measure approved by the Senate. Monroe said he plans to take no action on the distribu tion question until his committee completes public hearings on the sales tax this week. In a related development, timber industry representatives pledged Thursday to continue efforts to get a larger reduction in timber severance taxes. Timber owners said the 23 percent reduc tion approved by the House was unfair because the severance tax is paid in lieu of property taxes on trees, while other landowners would receive an average 33 percent property tax reduction. Comparable Worth A report unveiled by a legislative task force Monday indicated that women working in entry-level jobs in state government earn an average 32 percent less than their male counterparts. The report, a year-long study completed by a seven-member task force, recommends an overhaul of the state’s 40-year-old system of classifying jobs. It also calls for upgrading wages for underpaid female employees star ting in July, 1986. Margaret Hallock, an economist for the Oregon Public Employees Union, chaired the task force that surveyed 34,000 state jobs. Hallock said the task force found gender-based wage discrimination mainly in clerical jobs. In that area 25 to 30 percent discrimination was found, Hallock said. The new job classifications are still being reviewed by the task force and by the Ex ecutive Department. State agencies and public employee unions will be given a year to com ment on the new system before it takes effect next summer. Higher ed Sen. Margie Hendriksen Thursday in troduced Senate Joint Memorial 8 urging Con gress to resist the Reagan administration’s pro posed $2 billion cut in financial aid. The president’s proposed budget for fiscal 1986 would limit the amount of aid a student could receive to $4,000; deny Pell Grants, Work Study and National Direct Student Loans to students from families with incomes above $25,000 a year; and deny Guaranteed Student Loans to students from families with incomes above $32,500 a year. According to Hendriksen, an estimated 22,000 students in Oregon would have their aid eliminated or reduced if the proposals are enacted.
