Eugene Mayor JefT Miller gave strong support
Friday to Attorney General Dave Frohnmayer's
candidacy for governor at Frohnmayer's local
election headquarters.
“We will support Dave Frohnmayer in his race
for the state governor and wilt work with him so
that we, the local government, will help solve the
important Oregonian issue of tax reform." Miller
said.
Frohnmayer's education plan consists of a com
bination sales and property tax. which, he said, if
executed correctly will eventually bring the
school funding crisis to a halt.
In a written proposal released last week. Frohn
mayer called for a property tax limit of $15 for ev
ery $1,000 of assessed value and a four percent
sales tax. which would be fixed at that level by
the state constitution.
“This (sales tax) will provide a replacement
revenue with a voter review after four years,"
Frohnmayer said.
"1 want to solve the toughest problems that arc
closest to the people."
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Barbara
Roberts' plan, presented earlier this month,
would require a five percent sales tax on goods
and services, relieving the public school system
from property tax support all together.
Frohnmayer said his "top priority" plan will
only work if schools get help from both state and
the local government. Frohnmayer believes that
at this stage in the school funding crisis, local
government must work hard to overcome low
funds.
"We must ensure our students long term bene
fits through school and beyond." Frohnmayer
said. "It is no longer adequate merely to support
our educational programs. We must invent ways
to expand to serve more students."
Frohnmayer said in the written statement that
if elected, he would "demand that public schools
receive a minimum of thirty percent of their fund
ing from state government."
Frohnmayer called reforms in the public school
support system the most significant issue of his
campaign platform, which ranges from proposals
to reform the state's workers’ compensation pro
gram. to increasing and encouraging economic
development.
