Big divide marks District 40 race
Walsh hopes to unseat majority leader
By Joe Kidd
Emerald Poiilics Editor
Paula Walsh, in her firsl political rate against
stale Mouse Majority Leader Carl Hosticka. typed
and copier! her own campaign flyers at home.
And while Hosticka is spending $6,000 to
$7,000 on campaigning and giving financial left
overs to other Democratic candidates. Walsh, a
Republican, is giving out stacks of paper door
knob hangers that she cut out in her garage with a
h.i nri
Such arc the minor
differences in the race
for the House seat in
South Eugene's Dis
trict 40. The (.indi
dates' political views
create an even greater
divide.
Walsh, a Republican precinct committeewom
an who presents herself as "a homeowner and
taxpayer who knows that property taxes are too
high." has taken on the role of underdog. She is
hoping to use it to her advantage in an attempt to
unseal the four-term Democratic incumbent.
And even though the two take differing posi
tions on sue h high-profile issues as property tax
es. abortion and higher education funding.
Mosticka sees Walsh's inexperience as the biggest
advantage for him. "My breadth of experience
and range of contact is the main difference (be
tween us)." he said.
Indeed. Ixith their political resumes and their
political leanings offer voters a wide array of
choices.
Property tax-limiting Ballot Measure 5 is a per
fect example. Walsh says she whole-heartedly
supports the initiative, while Mosticka views it as
a weapon of destruction.
"The reason I'm going to vote for it is because
I'm tired of (the legislature) ignoring the issue,"
Walsh said "It's not even a good issue or a bad is
sue It's a mad issue, because voters are angry,
and they are saying to the legislature, 'Do some
thing You've had all this time '
Mosticka. on the other hand, calls it a
"scorched-earth approach" to solving the state's
high property tax problems. "The idea (behind
Measure r») is that you flatten everything in sight
and hope the future will fix it."
Walsh said the property tax issue is the main
reason she decided to run against Mosticka "I
bought a home in 1‘lH-t Property taxes on it have
doubled since then." she said If Measure Ti is
passed. Walsh believes reduced government

millions of dollars that would be lost to the initia

"I am for more income tax on higher incomes
and corporations." she said. "And I'm for taking
another look at (eliminating) income tax breaks."
While liosticka agrees that some way must be
found for reducing property taxes, he believes the
impact of Measure 5 would la? difficult to solve.
