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

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.

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. No
muss.”

the task force that looked into the
feasibility of the road-usage pro-
gram. 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.

Cybersecurity: State’s administrative agency also wants to improve oversight

other major projects in recent

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.

“It’s just a tighter connec-

cies we enforce, and ... all state
agencies,” Shelby said.
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.
