Candidates divided on funding
By Joe Kidd
Emerald Politics Editor
Oregon's four gubernatorial candidates all say
they place a high priority on higher education
Hut when it comes to finding the dollars for that
priority, their proposals fall all across the board.
Within the deflate of why and how to tax Ore
gonians. the candidates take varying positions on
Ballot Measure !i a property tax-limiting initia
tive that may lake up to $120 million from the
state's higher education system over the next two
years, with that figure possibly rising to more
than $900 million by 1907.
See related story p .12
Democrat Barbara Roberts and Republican Dave
Frohnmayer. the neck-and-neck leaders in most
pre election polls, have both specifically called
for faculty salary increases, and ln»th have made
sales tax proposals for solving Oregon's property
tax-elementary school funding woes.
Rolierts and Frohnmayer support a $50 million
increase for faculty salaries. Rol>erts has labeled
higher education funding her "number one prior
ity." and Frohnmayer has claimed that he was
the first to make it a priority in the election cam
paigning
As for their tax proposals. Roberts and Frohn
mayer strongly oppose Measure 5
Roberts has called for a 5 percent sales tax.
shifting k-12 public school funding completely
onto the state's general fund
Frohnmayer. however, has proposed a 4 per
cent sales tax that would l>e tied to a 15 percent
property tax limit, instead of supporting Measure
5 He opposes the initiative, predicting it would
create a "drop-everything crisis" if passed.
Libertarian Fred Oerthor and independent Al
Mobley, on the other hand, see the Republican
and Democratic candidates as one-and-the-same
on the issue of taxes Both Mobley and Oerther
criticize the leading candidates as liberal
spenders and say that taxes should be lowered in
stead of increased
Although they lx»th say they place a priority on
higher education, neither Mobley nor Oerther has
sper ifii proposals for funding the stale's univer
sities and colleges
Mobley, who received 11 percent of support in
the most recent state wide poll, said that Oregon
needs to pay what it takes to hire quality faculty,
but that "we cannot compete with New York or
Southern California Hut we need to at least Ik* in
the right range.”
And while Oerther agrees faculty pay is impor
tant. he doesn't "have much sympathy. I under
stand that professors here are tiehind the average,
but I don't know of any professor that is
starving." he said.
Mobley said he strongly supports Measure 5,
