Survey shows misconceptions
By Juli* Swtnwn
Oregar Oaf* f morna
The position people lake for or against Ballot
Measure 1 is most often a result of misconcep
tions of waste in state government, a state-wide
survey has shown.
While 38 percent of those surveyed strongly
opposed Measure 1. most of those people reached
their conclusion because they misunderstood the
levels of government waste and spmding. the
survey said. The largest majority of those opposed
to the measure - 55.6 percent - were those with
the least amount of correct information, answ er
ing only one. or zero, answers correctly out of 10
responses. No question was answered correctly
by more than half of those responding, accord
ing to the survey.
More than 54 percent believed state legislators
arc? paid at least $3,000 per month. Actually, leg
islators are paid about $1,000 per month, which
only 16.8 percent of those surveyed got correct.
In addition. 50.3 percent of those surveyed
believed Oregon taxes wore much higher than
average Actually, they are about four percent
below the national average in dollars and about
four percent above the national average as per
cent of income, according to the survey.
The largest majority in the survey. 60.8 per
cent. believed that state and local taxes in Ore
gon, as percent of income, were much higher
in 1990 than in 1980. However, the taxation lev
el has stayed almost exactly the same during that
time, according to the survey.
However, misconceptions also may help pass
the measure. Almost 43 percent of the respon
dents felt that state spending for K-12 education
actually fell between the last two budget periods.
Actually, state support for K-12 funding has
increased since the previous budget period. It is
higher education spending that has fallen, accord
ing to the survey.
College graduates wore more than throe times
as likely to favor the measure as those without a
high school diploma.
whether colleges and universi
!n*s would gut more money from
the stale general fund depends
on what the Legislature dorrs, he
said.
"The sales tax doesn't even
cover the total replacement of
Measure T> It only restores ahout
75 |wri ent," he said,
That's Ixtcause Oregonians an*
taxed an average of 12.5 percent
of their income. If the Measure 5
property tax limitations contin
ue. that tax burden would be
lowered to 10.5 percent. Mea
sure 1 would restore the taxa
lion level to 12 percent, or 75
percent of current levols,
Scherzinger said.
Although the measure
wouldn't completely replace all
of the Measure 5 loss of revenue,
"it would go a long way toward
it,” Brand said.
