TAX
Continued from Page 1
Brand said unless the Legis
lature acts before the regular
legislative session next January,
it will be too late to avoid
"traumatic downsizing." Brand
has already submitted a budget
to the Oregon State System of
Higher Education that Includes
a 20-percent reduction for the
1993-95 biennium.
“In the case of the University
of Oregon, this would moan the
loss of 405 positions and on
rolling five to 10 percent fewer
students," Brand said.
Brand was not alone In voic
ing disappointment with the
Legislature's performance.
ASLJO Vice President Kar
men Fore said a lot of work had
gone into Roberts' now oxtinct
lax plan.
"I think the: citizens of Ore
gon would have liked the op
portunity to vote on the pack
age," she said. "If the House,
however, thinks it can come up
with o better package than the
governor presented them, 1
would encourage them to start
working on it In July and not
wait until November.
‘‘The longer we wait, the
closer we come to the 1993-95
biennium and the billlon-dollur
cuts. I don't think anyone
wants to go through that."
Fore said hopes for budget
relief are now being placed on
a special session after the elec
tion in November.
“It looks as If (Senate Presi
dent John) KiUhaber bargained
‘If they wait for the regular session It will
be too late. Phase Two of Measure 5 will
be kicked In, and too many agencies will
have already been closed down.’
Bobby Lee.
ASUO President
with (House Speaker Larry)
Campbell to at least have some
form of a session, again, ufter
the November election," Fort;
said "But that's still pretty ten
tmlvo Things have been chang
ing so quickly we re not too
sure what's going on up there.
“I think at this point they al
most don't have a choice but to
come up with some kind of a
tux package." Fore said "It's
just matter of timing When are
they going to do It? I think
they’ll do it I just don't know
when.”
ASUO President Bobby Lee
said after last week's set back,
the ASUO was "bock to stop
one." He said the ASUO would
be lobbying for a special ses
sion to ire called in time to put
a new revenue plan in front of
voters at the November elec
tion. That means the Legisla
ture would have to lie called
into speciul session again.
The main opposition to call
ing another special session Ire
fore November would come
from Campbell, who wants to
wait until the regular legislative
session next your.
