Paulus says 'buried bones'
key to economic efficiency
By Duane Dungannon
Of tb* KixfiM
Republican gubernatorial
candidate Norma Paulus
believes state government will
regain the trust of Oregonians
only when it manages to “do
more with less,” she said.
Paulus. former secretary of
state, supported the 1985
referendum to implement a
state sales tax but now believes
voters will not approve any ad
ditional taxes until government
sets its priorities and reduces
spending.
Paulus believes she has the
insight to make government
operate more efficiently, she
said.
“1 know where all of the
bones are buried,” she said. ”1
want to change the direction of
the way things are going
economically.”
Although Paulus advocates
controls on spending, she does
not support any of the ballot
measures to provide revisions
in the tax structure.
“I'm opposed to all of them.”
she said. "1 think Measure 9
would be devastating to our
school system, and the
homestead exemption would
result in higher income taxes.
“I also oppose the sales tax,”
she said, referring to Ballot
Measure 7, which would create
a 5 percent sales tax.
Paulus also stated her opposi
tion to Ballot Measure 5, the in
itiative which would legalize
personal use of marijuana for
adults if passed.
Paulus opposed the construc
tion of the Trojan nuclear plant
at the time it was being built,
she said, but she believes clos
ing the plant would result in
higher utility rates for
Oregonians.
A major focus of the Paulus
campaign has been an emphasis
on support for education.
Paulus recognizes the pro
blem presented by limited
funds for higher education in
the face of record enrollments at
state universities, including the
University, she said.
To deal with the issue of stret
ching the educational budget,
Paulus recommends legislators
and university officials adopt
"a system of priorities.”
“I hear legislators saying.
‘We took care of higher educa
tion last year,’ referring to
money allocated from the lot
tery. That worries me, because
that was just the first step,” she
said.
Diane Landers, her campaign
manager, said Paulus has
assumed ”a focus based on the
reality of what state budgets
Nonna Paul us
are,” noting she does not
foresee substantial increases in
funding for higher education in
"the short term."
Landers said that "a top
priority for Paulus is keeping
tuition affordable, and that's
based on personal experience."
Paulus. who faced financial
difficulties when attending col
lege, vowed that she would "do
everything possible to keep tui
tion down.”
In addition, Paulus "would
do everything possible to make
financial assistance available to
needy students." she said.
Paulus proposed offering tui
tion discounts to students will
ing to participate in civic work
programs.
Underlining her support for
Oregon's public school system.
Paulus stated her opposition to

"I believe that a system of
providing tuition tax credits
would weaken our public
education system,” she said.
The Paulus campaign boasts
"a wide diversity of support.”
according to Landers. lenders
explained that Paulus has
received endorsements from the
Oregon Women's Caucus;
Oregonians Protecting Our
Water, an environmental group
that made Paulus its only
Republican endorsement; and
the National Rifle Association.
Paulus echoed Landers'
remarks, adding. “Every
business organization that en
dorses candidates has endorsed
me.”
“I feel very positive about the
campaign.” she concluded.
