Citizens oppose city gas tax
By Stephanie Sisson
Oregon l U-V f rn&ttX)
A publii hearing on the new stormwater man
agement plan proposal revealed that Kugene resi
dents support much of the plan, hut are concerned
about a proposed three i ent gasoline tax as a
method of funding it
Servil e station owners made it ( leer at the hear
ing that while the\ supported the goals and poli
cies of the new program which has been proposed
in response to new federal stormwater regulations,
they did not want another tax on gasoline
"Consumers are already paying huge taxes on
gasoline. said Mike Sherlock, owner of tin
Chevron service station on Broadway A local tax
is not fair to consumers or to gasoline serve es
Robert Newburn, owner of Civic Petroleum
Corp . said that a total gas tax would "place
Kugene marketers at a serious disadvantage in
competing with sen ii e stations in surrounding
cities. He said the people of Kugene are already
paying a 24-cent state lax and an 18.4-t ent federal
tax.
The city council is i onsidering a gas tax to help
pay for the stormwater proposal because, a< cord
ing to a stormwater fact sheet published by the
city, the tax ( barges those "responsible for street
related costs and helps street users see the rein
tionship between their travel choii es and the lit'

Water meter size, the current hilling method, is
not an at.curate measurement of a property s
impat t on the stormwater system, at t ording to the
stormwater fact sheet Instead, the t ity is propos
ing to charge a stormwater fee at t ording to iiliper

runoff ultimately go into local rivers, streams and
wetlands
In November lfl‘10. the Environmental Protec
tion Agent \ published new regulations concern
ing the discharge of polluted stormwater into
waters of the I Suited States " The new regulations
require that i ities with populations greater than
100,000. mu li as Eugene, obtain permits to expel
stormwater into U S water, which includes the
Amazon ( reek and the \\ illamette River,
Eugene's Draft Stormwater Management Plan is
a proposal for meeting these new requirements
and for finaix ing the program.
"You do yourselves damage when you consid
er a gas tax to pay for a stormwater system," Jim
Hale, of Eugene, told the i ity council "Let s save
the gas tax for more Important purposes."

"It's funny." Given said, "that
they don't think that the destmc
lion of millions of ar.res of for

good business ”
Dawn said she was the vir.tim

while the poli< e looked the oth
er why Hut rather than focus on
those issues, the journal aims to
"focus on actions and issues
rather than abuse."
And issues abound in the jour
nal The September issue
includes headlines ranging from
"Earth Liberation Front Ignites
Britain" to "Mexican Sea Turtles
in Trouble.”
Although Missoula. Mont., the
most recent home of the journal
Itefore the Kugene move, was con
sidered hv the editors an alter
native community for Montana,
they seem happy to l>e in Kugene.
"I think Kugene will he con
ducive to our well-being," Dawn
said.
