Court rules sales tax
should be on ballot
SALEM (AH) — The Nov. 9 sales la* vole may go forward
despite questions about the constitutionality of the ballot mea
sure, the Oregon Supreme Court ruled Thursday.
The court reversed a decision by a Marion County judge last
week that said the sales tax measure, sent to the ballot by the
Oregon Legislature, was unconstitutional.
Circuit ludge Albin Norblad had ruled that the sales tax could
not remain on the ballot as a single issue because it would enact
more than one amendment, a violation of the state constitution.
But the Supreme Court said the lawsuit challenging the sales
tax was not filer! early enough.
The lawsuit was filed Oct. 4 by Joe Foxall. president of The
Executive Club, a political activists' group in the Portland area.
Norblad's ruling, if allowed to stand, would have meant that
the sales tax packago could not appoar on the ballot unless it
was split into several parts.
And state election officials said that couid noi have been uuuE
within legal time limits, so the Nov. 9 vote would have been
canceled.
Mark Nelson, campaign manager for the pro-sales tax cam
paign, said he was "extremely gratified-' that the state's highest
court had turned down what he called a bogus lawsuit.
"Courts traditionally have ruled against last-minute public
relations ploys by opponents to try to remove measures from
the ballot." Nelson said.
Nelson, a Salem lobbyist and politico) consultant, also said
he didn't think the lawsuit had tainted the sales tax measure in
voters' minds.
"We're happy to have the opportunity to get back to the cam
paign trail and talk about the real issues," he said.
One of the leading opponents of the sales tax, health club own
er Don Mnlntire, said he wished the Supreme Court had dealt
with the constitutional questions surrounding the sales tax.
Still. Mclntire said he was glad that the sales tax will be on
the November ballot.
“We want people to be able to vote on the soles tax. because
we think they are going to bury it," said Mclntire, chief archi
tect of the Ballot Measure 5 property tax limit approved by vot
ers in 1990.
INVESTIGATION

tigation, and we'll take actions accordingly."
Ay sc Aksay from Cyprus, who was defeated by Shing in the
ISA election before the summer, said that she did not wish to
comment on Shing's status as a non-student during the election
campaign.
All I can say is that 1 didn't know about it, but what has been
done has been done." she said. "I want the ISA to remain a
big family, and I hope this won't damage the association in any
way."
Peter Briggs. an adviser at the Office of International Educa
tion and Exchange, said this was an affair for the students to
deal with.
"Our office does not wish to get involved in student affairs
such as this,” he said. But he said this case has no precedent
during the 13 years that he has worked with the ISA
The investigation also deals with complaints about Shing's
leadership style. Loo said a number of people have complained
about what they see as an autocratic and Inflexible leadership
style.
Douffy Youm from Senegal, the co-director of the ISA, said
he and Shing "aren't talking to each other."
"We were elected as a team, but right now we're just not work
ing with each other," Youm said.
Shing does not perceive his leadership style as a problem.
"The ISA is a very diverse group with members from all over
the world." he said. "Every year, the association encounters sit
uations that are similar in nature. Leaders change, and leader
ship styles change with them. There will always be an element
of autocracy in leadership, because it's impossible for a leader
to consult everyone before he or she makes a decision. But
my experience so far is that I'm working very well with the sub
groups. As for the co-director. 1 think we're working well togeth
er, and our relationship is continuously getting better."
The ASUO expects to finish the investigation in about two
weeks.
