Atkinson said he also had a
solution to the controversial
requests of the Oregon Citizens
Alliance
As senator. Atkinson said he
would propose a state < onstitu

all Oregonians the right to live

would reaffirm the state consti

rights for anyone.
"Equal rights for everyone, spe
cial rights for no one,” he said.
In the May Democratic pri
maries, Atkinson expects to run
against incumbent Sen. Bill
Dwyer, who has not yet publicly
announced his candidacy.
Atkinson said the reason he
has decided to run against Dwyer
is because he believed the sena
tor was uncompromising. As an
example, he spoke of Dwyer's
unwillingness to reconsider his
anti-sales tax stance.
"That vvas not the kind of lead
ership I wanted to see," he said.
"I have chosen to run because the
state Senate has become totally
ineffective in solving these major
problems facing our state.”

"We decided lust |une with

An amusement and entertain
ment tax, common in other parts
of the country, is appealing
because it would affect a broad
segment of the population. The
tax's discretionary nature is also
an asset — it doesn't tax services
or products necessary for sur

A business license tax, if it
were implemented, would apply
to anyone wanting a business
