said this short-term strategy

Wooten said.
'It's certainly not an equita

Wooten said if tax reform is
to materialize from this legisla
tive session, a coalition of inter
ests and groups must demand
the opportunity to vote and re
view a plan.
Wooten said she has alreadv
met with 42 groups concerned
with the state of service fund
ing. Although she will make as
main contacts as she can. the
groups must mobilize on their
own, she said.
Aside from its academic mis

Wooten said she is intent on
looking after the interests of the

A native of Los Angeles,
Wooten first moved to Oregon
to attend Southern Oregon
State College in Ashland. Alter

Wooten worked as a legal as

Wooten is looking forward to
