7A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 2015 Protest: Rally was organized by the No LNG Exports Coalition Continued from Page 1A The debate comes just as the Oregon Legisla- ture is debating the state’s role in preventing climate change. Today, the House Rules Committee will vote on HB 3470, which would phase in statewide carbon dioxide emissions limits and allow the Environmental Quality Commission to set a price on carbon. David Dunham attend- ed the rally with his friend Christopher Mathas, who wore a giant likeness of Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., who has supported the Jordan Cove project. Both Eagle Creek res- idents own property that the Warrenton pipeline would run through, Dun- ham said. Participants marched from the Capitol to the Or- egon Department of State Lands, which has legal authority to block LNG terminals and pipelines. They are asking state agencies to use their au- thority to deny permits for the terminals, and for Photo courtesy of Mary Ekorn-Jackson Astorian Carol Newman, center, and hundreds of others gathered at the Oregon Capitol Tuesday to protest two proposed LNG export terminals in Coos Bay and Warrenton. the governor to challenge likely federal approval for the facilities. The rally was orga- nized by the No LNG Exports Coalition. Mem- bers include the Sierra Club, Center for Biolog- ic Diversity, Columbia Riverkeeper, Northwest Environmental Defense Center and more. OReGO: ‘You pay for what you use’ Continued from Page 1A their vehicles. Participants will pay 1.5 cents per mile and get refunds for the 30-cent-per-gal- lon tax they pay at the pumps. “It’s about fairness,” Godfrey said. “You pay for what you use.” So far, 1,600 drivers have signed up at the OReGO website to participate in the experiment and Godfrey expects that number to double shortly. The still-volun- tary program kicks off July 1. Many drivers won’t like the math, at least initially. Twenty miles per gallon is the break-even point. A calculator on the website shows how much more or less you would pay. An average Prius owner would pay almost $200 more a year, while the F-150 driver would save about $20. 2UHJRQ ZRXOG EH WKH ¿UVW state in the nation to adopt such a road-usage charge. Pendleton driver Tammy Dennee participated in one of two earlier pilots of the program. She plugged a data capture unit into her Ford Explorer and start- ed driving. “Everything was technology driven,” she said. “No fuss.

While the program is fairly straightforward, she said, people wrestle with the concept. E.J. HARRIS — EO Media Group The Oregon Department of Transportation is asking for volunteers for its new gas tax program. The program, called OReGo, would tax participants 1.5 cents per mile and is a test study as a potential replacement for the state’s fuel tax system. “There are no easy answers when it comes to taxes,” she said. “It’s never an easy conversation.” Yet, she said, Oregon’s trans- portation infrastructure is deteri- orating. “We expect the same quali- ty of roadways and bridges, but Department of Transportation dollars aren’t there,” Dennee said. “It’s become a fairness dis- cussion.” States are looking for ways to retool the gas tax, Godfrey said. When Oregon pioneered WKHQDWLRQ¶V¿UVWIXHOWD[LQ Godfrey said “consumption was the perfect proxy for how much you use the road. That’s not the case now.” Critics protest that smaller vehicles don’t damage roads as much as larger vehicles and should therefore pay less. God- frey shakes her head. “ODOT has researched this for many, many years and has determined time and time again that vehicles that are 10,000 pounds and less impact the road- way about the same,” she said. “There is a perception that a light car does so much less damage, but it’s not really the case.” Godfrey also rejects concerns the program would discourage people from buying hybrids or electric vehicles. “You save so much more in overall driving costs that there’s still a very strong incentive to purchase an EV or hybrid,” she said. “Overall (in the F-150 and Prius comparison) you’re still saving about $800 a year by driv- ing a Prius.” Participants may eventually choose from a menu of services made possible by the pay-per- mile technology. The list includes such things as vehicle diagnos- tics, DEQ emissions testing on WKHÀ\SD\DV\RXJRLQVXUDQFH and a geo-fence for parents with teen drivers in the family. “These are all things that are in development,” Godfrey said. ODOT contracts with the private sector for technology and services. For more information about the program, visit www.myore- go.org.

State auditors have de- scribed Cover Oregon’s failure to launch as planned in Oc- tober 2013 as “arguably the worst computer development failure in state history.” “Technology has one of the greatest impacts on the state’s ability to deliver services to Oregonians,” staff wrote in their funding request to the Legislature. The agency also explained “Oregon has histori- cally lacked a functional, mod- ern” system of oversight. Shelby said the Department of Administrative Services has already started to work on im- proving oversight through a pilot program using employ- ees temporarily loaned by other state agencies. An audit released by the Oregon Secre- WDU\RI6WDWH¶V2I¿FHLQ0DUFK found that effort was under- staffed and incomplete.

The additional employees would also work to improve FRRUGLQDWLRQDQGHI¿FLHQF\RI state IT spending, so that in- dividual agencies do not pur- chase each purchase separate software when they could all use the same system. For ex- ample, Shelby said the state has already transitioned to a single payroll program and could eliminate duplication in other areas. “We have something like 30-some odd different email systems across Oregon state government,” Shelby said. Approximately one-third of state employees use a Mic- rosoft Outlook system main- tained by Administrative Ser- vices. It might also make sense for the state to centralize more of its cybersecurity work, Shelby said.
