Brown discusses goals for 2019 at Baker City forum
✐❥ ❧♠♥♣❥ ❧②qr✉♣❥
①③④⑤⑥⑦ ⑧③⑨④ ⑩③❶❷❸❹③
Oregon Governor Kate
Brown visited Baker City
on Friday afternoon to dis-
cuss her goals for the state
for the upcoming year.
More than 70 people
gathered at the Baker
Heritage Museum to hear
Brown talk for about 15
minutes. She then an-
swered questions from au-
dience members for about
45 minutes.
The question-and-an-
swer part of the event was
moderated by Baker City
Mayor Loran Joseph.
Before Brown’s arrival,
a group of about 30 people
congregated across Grove
Street at the northeast cor-
ner of Geiser-Pollman Park
to display signs express-
ing support for President
Donald Trump and the 2nd
Amendment, and opposing
some of Brown’s policies.
Inside the Museum,
Brown said that although
job growth has been high
and unemployment rates
low in most of the state,
economic prosperity hasn’t
reached all Oregon com-
munities.
“My role as governor is
❺❻ ❼❽❾❿➀ ❻❾❺ ➁❻➂ ➂➀ ➃❿❻ -
vide all of our communi-
ties with the tools you need
to thrive,” said Brown, a
Democrat who was elected
to a four-year term in No-
vember 2018.
She took over the gover-
norship in February 2015
after John Kitzhaber re-
signed.
Brown said access to
health care and housing
will be her two top priori-
ties for 2019.
Brown said while about
ceed the limits to buy cred-
its from companies that
don’t.
“That cap and trade
thing could literally wipe
us out with killing jobs,”
Van Diepen said.
Other local residents,
as well as Baker County’s
two representatives in Sa-
lem, Rep. Lynn Findley of
➏➈➇➀ ➈➌➉ ➐➀➌➑ ➒➇➅➍ ➓➀➌❺➔
of Ontario, both Repub-
licans, contend that the
bill, as written, would cost
residents in higher fuel
and natural gas costs and
threaten the future of busi-
nesses including Ash Grove
Cement’s Durkee plant,
which employs about 115
people.
But Brown, who sup-
ports the bill, also referred

tion is necessary to reduce

access to health care cover-
age the state is working to
increase that to 100 per-
cent.
As for housing, that’s an
issue “impacting every sin-
gle community around the
state,” the governor said.

immediately because of an
emergency clause in the
bill.
Some of the people dem-
onstrating outside the Mu-
seum went inside to listen
to Brown, while others re-
mained outside during the
event.
Tom Van Diepen of Bak-
er City held a sign prior
to Brown’s arrival, but he
went inside to listen to the
governor.
“We’re just here to let
Mrs. Brown know that not
everybody in the state feels
like they do on the west
side,” Van Diepen said.
The opposition gather-
ing was organized through
social media and intended
to show Brown that there
is a lack of support in some
places for some of the
policies she supports, in-
cluding the controversial
carbon emissions limita-
tion, House Bill 2020, also
known as a cap-and-trade
bill because it would both
cap carbon emissions from
some industries while al-
lowing businesses that ex-

spending time in hospice
for health problems related
to dementia, according to
Kerry Tymchuk, a longtime
friend of Paulus who suc-
ceeded her as director of
the Oregon historical soci-
ety. Paulus was 85.
“She was a pathbreak-
er and a history-maker,”
Tymchuk told the Orego-
nian/OregonLive.
Paulus was a member of
the Legislature, Oregon’s
secretary of state from 1977
to 1985, her party’s nomi-
nee for governor in 1986
and the state’s elected su-
perintendent of schools for
two terms in the 1990s.
Fiscally
conservative,
Paulus was a feminist and
environmentalist
who
crafted bipartisan legis-
lation with Democratic
women in the House in the
1970s and championed the
auditor’s role in the secre-

lands and, according to her
autobiography, played a
key role in preserving Cape
Kiwanda as a state-owned
natural area.
Paulus grew up in De-
pression-era poverty in
Eastern Oregon, didn’t go
to college but landed a sec-
retary job through a home-
town connection and then
worked for the chief justice
of the Oregon Supreme
Court.
Eventually she was ad-
mitted to law school at Wil-
lamette University where
she studied part-time while
continuing her secretarial
job. While in law school,
she married William “Bill”
Paulus and gave birth to a
daughter before graduat-
ing with honors in 1962.
The couple’s son, Fritz, was
born the next year.
She won a seat in the Or-
egon House of Representa-
tives representing Salem
in 1970, at a time when
the Legislature had only a
handful of women.
Republican Sen. Jackie
Winters of Salem said in a
statement that Paulus was
a role model.
“She paved the way for so
many women in Oregon as

climate change.
“We are seeing the im-
pacts of climate change in
communities around the
state,” Brown said.
The governor toured the
Ash Grove plant, about 25
miles southeast of Baker
City, before speaking at the
Baker Heritage Museum.
During Friday’s event,
Brown answered questions
from the audience ranging
from health care premium
costs to climate change to
the carbon emissions bill.
When asked how the bill

ty, Brown said her goal is
to ensure it doesn’t make
conditions worse for com-

ing the Great Recession.
She said the legislation also
has the potential to create
good-paying jobs in rural
areas.

about Ash Grove’s Durkee

to help the plant succeed
if the bill becomes law, in-
cluding either exemptions
from the carbon limits or
providing the company
with allowances to help it
buy credits in the market.
“We’re working hard to
get throughout the state
and talk with these busi-

makes the most sense to
their particular sector,”
Brown said.
She said she expects the
bill will come to a vote in
Salem in April or May.
Brown also spoke about
the importance of educa-
tion in the state.
“It’s also critically impor-
tant that our students have
the tools they need to suc-
ceed in a global economy
and that every one of our
students graduates from
high school with a plan for
their future,” she said.
Brown last visited Baker
in April 2018 to tour the
Baker Technical Institute.
She also visited Ontario
Friday morning.
“I’m very committed to
doing what we are doing
the Oregon way and that
means working across the
aisle and around the state
to put politics aside and
do what is right for Orego-
nians,” Brown said.
After the event, Van
Diepen said he was dis-
appointed because in his
estimation Brown didn’t
answer most of the ques-
tions she was asked.

was a trailblazer and a true
force to be reckoned with.
Norma was a neighbor, a
dear friend, a mentor, an
inspiration, and a true ser-
vant to all Oregonians. I
will miss her deeply.”
Paulus also was a found-
ing member of the Oregon
Women’s Political Caucus
and helped push the Equal
Rights Amendment in Or-
egon.
Paulus’ autobiography,
written largely by Gail
Wills and Pat McCord Am-
acher after Paulus’ health
and memory began to fail,
is titled “The Only Woman
in the Room.”
As a legislator and secre-
tary of state, she often liter-
ally was the only woman in
whatever hall of power she
occupied, Tymchuk said.
In 1986, Paulus easily
won the Republican nomi-
nation for governor. But in
the fall, she narrowly lost
her campaign battle with
Neil Goldschmidt, then one
of the most popular politi-
cians to seek the governor-
ship in the modern era.
