Voters reject six tax measures
City Councilor David Kelly
says funding measures
often don’t pass when
a tax increase is involved
Oregon votes 2002
Ken Paulman
City/State Politics Reporter
City officials aren’t sure why
Lane County voters soundly reject
ed all six property tax measures in
Tuesday’s election. Among the
levies, voters denied improvements
and construction for jails, parks, a
planetarium and a new public
health building.
Ward 3 City Councilor David Kel
ly, who represents the University
area, said funding measures often
face resistance from voters, especial
ly if a tax hike is involved.
“I think there is an understand
able first reaction against any tax in
crease,” he said. “The first reaction
is often the one that dominates.”
Kelly said that many measures
may have failed simply because vot
ers weren’t aware of their impor
tance or impact. The tax increases
would have been minimal, he said,
but voters didn’t have the informa
tion necessary to weigh the costs
against the benefits.
“There was almost no campaign
behind the county measures,”
he said.
University student Nancy Suryan,
a post-baccalaureate art major, said
the goals of many of the measures
were not clear.
“I don’t think that they gave
enough information on a lot of
them,” she said.
Eugene Mayor Jim Torrey said the
results indicate voters are willing to
make sacrifices in some cases, but
not others. A bond measure to im
prove schools narrowly passed in
Eugene, and voters approved the hir
ing of more emergency workers in
Springfield, but other services didn’t
make the cut.
“What you saw Tuesday night was
what I think is a reflection of what’s
important to voters in Oregon in
general,” he said.
Torrey said he was pleased the
school funding measure passed, and
attributed its success to the hun
dreds of people who worked to in
form the voters about the measure.
“I can’t tell you how proud I am of
the people who said ‘yes,’” he said.
Torrey said voters in other parts of
Lane County sometime resist paying
for facilities in the city of Eugene,
and noted that the sheer number of
measures on the ballot may have
caused some voters to tune out.
“I didn’t receive one call on the
county issues,” he said.
Torrey and Kelly both said that
the results need to be examined
more thoroughly before any conclu
sions can be drawn.
“It’s a litde early to tell,” Kelly said.
