Meeting: Kitzhaber concerned
about property tax caps
■ Continued from Page 1
the next biennium would cost
$16.8 million. It’s my intention to
go as far as possible toward that
objective. The reason I’m not will
ing to sign the dotted line is be
cause we don’t know what’s go
ing to happen in November.”
Kitzhaber referred to the uncer
tainty over whether pro-educa
tion legislators would be elected
and whether the “kicker law”
would be modified. The “kicker
law” requires the State to return
any unused tax money to taxpay
ers. Kitzhaber said he wants to
modify the law so some of the
funds can be used toward educa
tion.
Kitzhaber expressed greater
concern over Ballot Measure 47,
an initiative that seeks to cut
property taxes and cap them at
the reduced level. If passed, the
measure will reduce the state
budget. “You must defeat this
measure,” he told the students.
Jon Isaacs, OSL field organizer,
agreed with Kitzhaber.
“Students need to understand
that if they vote for this measure
they’ll basically be voting to in
crease their tuition and to keep
students off the Oregon Health
Plan,” Isaacs said. “Property tax
es is where money for education
basically comes from.”
Libby Mitchell, student body
president of Oregon State Univer
sity, made a presentation to
Kitzhaber on student health care.
“Twenty-one percent of OS
SHE [Oregon State System of
Higher Education] students do
not have health insurance,” she
said.
Kitzhaber responded positively
to Mitchell’s speech.
“Making sure that people have
health coverage when they’re get
ting their post-secondary educa
tion is important,” he said.
Scotten said students must be
actively involved in state govern
ment to help freeze tuition and
get better health care. To encour
age involvement, the ASUO, is
working with student groups to
register 8,000 students to vote this
year.
“The best way a student can
help freeze tuition is to: (1) regis
ter to vote, (2) vote for pro-educa
tion candidates, and (3) vote
against any state measure that
cripples the state budget,” said
Scotten.
