House hears testimony on taxes
By Katy Moeller
Oopon CiDy f mm tun
For the first time since the Oregon legislature
began this session, the House Revenue and School
Finance Committee allowed a hearing on tax reform
proposals Thursday
The chairwoman of the House Revenue and
School Finance Committee. Rep. Delna Jones. R
Aloha, refused to open hearings until the 1993-95
budget, with all n«*ssnry cuts in programs and ser
vices. was balanced
Though few budget bills have been passed, the
House Revenue Committee convened the first of
several public hearings. House Speaker Larry Camp
bell. RKugene. Rep. Tony Van Vliet. R-Corvallis.
and Rep Clarl Hosticka. D-Eugene, provided the first
testimonies
The House leadership approach has been that
the Legislature's first and foremost responsibility
is to balance the budget within existing funds." said
Campbell.
Campbell spoke on HJR fVO. a bill that he is spon
soring that would freeze 1990's Measure 5 rate lim
itations at the 1993 level The rate would stay at the
$10 per $1 (KM) assessed value for schools and the
same for local government.
"I'm sure we all agree the implementation of Bal
lot Measure 5 down to $15 per $1,000 will simply
Im« devastating to this state." he said
Cam pt>e 11 said his bill would provide Oregoni
ans with much-needed predictability in the prop
erty taxes they pay.
The plan pul forth by Campbell would save the
slate $338 million in 1994 95 and $410 million a
year later, according to statistic from the Legisla
tive Revenue Office.
Campbell expressed concern that state unem
ployment levels have risen from 7.1 to 7.6 percent.
"1 hope that you will consider the ability of Ore
gonians to pay new taxes, not just what package
will meet our fiscal needs." he said.
Van Vliet explained the merits of HJR 4. which
includes sales tax on goods only, to the committee
Van Vliet. who is an Oregon State University pro
fessor. used charts and graphs to show the com
mittee how large the cuts have been and what the
projected funding cuts look like.
"We are very much on a crisis path regardless of
the plan that you settle on," Van Vliet said.
He cited statistics compiled by the Legislative
Revenue Office that show in 1991-93, the state left
$250-$300 million on the table in unmet needs.
"Wo must figure out a way to pick up school costs
and the Oregon Health Plan." Van Vliet said.
Under the Van Vliet plan, there would be a sales
tax on goods only with exemptions for medical
costs, rents, mortgages and food for home con
sumption. Personal income tax would be reduced
by 11 percent in each bracket. Van Vliet said. Cor
porate income taxes would increase to 7.6 percent
"The key element that all the tax proposals car
ry is that each one must be written into the con
stitution. so that the public can rest assured that
the! sales tax can't Ihi raised." he said.
Seminar to address workplace changes
By Jen Ellison
Oregon £kh>Y f rngtMa
With today's workplaces en
compassing more personnel di
versity, managers need to be able
to communit^te with all types of
people in order to l>e successful,
a business school official said
Tuesday.
This realization is the basis for
education on interpersonal com
munication within diverse
groups at the university level,
said Alexis Woods, director of
c areer services at the College of
Business Administration's Grad
uate School of Management.
To start helping t Iniversity stu
dents understand the importance
of appreciating diversity, the
business school will host a one
day seminar for graduate stu
dents. faculty and the local busi
ness community Friday.
A by-invitation event, the sem
inar will run from a m. to 5
p.m. at the Chiles Business Cen
ter.
Titled 'Managing Diversity in
the Workplace.” the seminar will
he taught by nationally recog
nized diversity expert Steve
lianamura.
Manamura is the president of
lianamura Consulting of Portland
and has worked with interna
tional corporations, medium- and
small-sized businesses and gov
ernment agencies across the
country.
"Today's work force demands
that all workers bring individu
ality to their work and allow their
experiences and creativity to
come forth in a way that con
tributes to the organization," said
lianamura in a news release
Woods agrees that the ability
to communicate and lead diverse
groups will determine the suc
cess of the company.
"The success of today's man
agers ultimately will rest on their
ability to make a positive impact
on their company’s bottom line,"
Woods said. "Getting the job
done will require communicat
ing and leading diverse work
teams, which include minorities,
foreign nationals, physically c:fval
longed. women and older work
ers.”
The seminar has four main
objectives: examine barriers fac
ing people who are different;
understand why cultural diver
sity is an important workplace
topic; identify the connection
between diversity, student life
and managing in the workplace;
and identify how to manage a
diverse workplace.
