BUDGET
Continued from Page 1
uing a program .1! the level approval by the Ore
gon State Legislature
The governor's budget will go to the Legislature
for approval In January and will likely arm consid
enible revisions before the Houses produce their
own budget
"lust as the governor proposes a budget, the
Legislature will begin to dispose of some parts of
It.” Roberts said
The budget cuts refill t the St 2 billion shortfall
in the state's General Fund for the next biennium
created by 10‘10's ballot Measure 5
Measure 5 modified property lax rates through
gradual annual reductions. The slate services
budget is estimated at S7 billion for 19Ud-Uf>, but
taxes will only provide SO 4 billion
Karlv this year, Roberts required all state agen
cies to reduce their budgets by 20 percent to com
pensate for the reduction in revenue for state ser
vices
Thn governor is required, by the state Constitu
tion. i" submit a budget proposal outlining alloca
tion of existing resourr ns in the Oenural Fund
in addition to that budget. Roberts included tax
reform proposals that would alleviate cuts to hu
man serve es she said she finds "unacceptable
Roberts said total funding and long-term bene
fits nl programs were considered before cuts were
made
We have seized on every opportunity to im
prove services with a special emphasis on chil
dren and youth." Roberts said
Rolierts (jointed out that tbe 17 percent drop In
education funding is not accurate when total
funding is considered Fduration will actually
operate at 00 -1 percent of the i urrent level when
combined with local property taxes and state
school support
The higher education budget w ill lie lt> percent
below the current service level. Part of higher ed
ucation's budget reduction came from offii ioncy
and economy revisions
Higher education administration will be cut by
20 percent, yielding a savings of S55 million Or
ganizational restructuring will eliminate the num
ber of top-level leadership and administrative po
sitions to streamline this area.
Faculty productivity will rise by 15 percent
The Dept of Higher Education will require facul
ty members to teach an additional c lass or section
per year and reduce their research activities
Tuition at Oregon's collages and universities
will go up 7 percent a year for resident under
graduates Enrollment will likely drop 7 percent,
Rois-rts said, because many students will not tie
able to aflord the increased cost
Rolierts said she sol aside S-t million to waive
tuition c harges for low-income resident students
hocuusc tuition inc reases diminish the accessibil
ity of educ ation
1It Is unlikely In my estimation
that the Legislature will act
early on tax reform. I don’t
think the Legislature is ready,
and I don’t believe the public
is ready.’
Barbara Roberts,
Oregon governor
The St holnrship Commission's Need Grant Pro
gram wtis given $.1.2 million In General Fund and
will provide grants to 1.975 low-income students.
Roberts also said higher education's agency re
quest budget originally included .1 15 percent in
crease In tuition that whs reduced to the 7 percent
increase through increased faculty productivity,
tightened residency rules, and the addition of
S10.9 million to the General Fund
Both the Oregon State University College of
Veterinary Medicine and the Pediatric Dentistry
Kegistr\ Program will close Roberts said she was
reluctant to cut institutions completely and fo
cused instead on trimming programs
"Once you close an institution, it is very, very
difficult to open that institution." Roberts said.
Additionally, the higher education budget will
raise dental clinic lees, reduce agricultural re
search. and reduce the Child Development Reha
bilitation Center's medical services
Oregon's Hi community colleges will see a 10.1
percent drop from the current service level State
support and local property taxes will supplement
S22H 4 million in unrestric ted state grant-in-aid to
community college. Roberts proposes using lot
tery funds to raise- the service level to 95.1 per
cent of the current program level.
Rolcerts proposed u cigarette tux increase of 10
percent to raise $44 2 million dedicated to health
services and programs related to tobacco use. A
lx-er und wine tax increase of 5 cents dedicated to
treating alcohol and drug abuse was also pro
posed .
Roberts said that despite ail of the reductions
and the proposed plans to compensate for lost
revenue, a major tax overhaul is necessary.
"It is unlikely in my estimation that the Legis
lature will act early on tux reform." Roberts said.
"I don't think the Legislature is ready, and I don't
believe the public is ready."
Rol>erlx' budget recommends a tax system over
haul that reforms the property tax assessment sys
tem, minimizes loss of property tax revenue to
schools and provides personal income lax relief.
The tax reform suggestions are vague by design.
"We don't want to lock into a tax plan and
have that become an issue." McCatg said. "The is
sue is whether Oregonians are ready to pass a tax
plan that will give education stable funding."
