‘What should be done to help fund Astoria Parks and Recreation?’
“I think that the $3 fee
that they were going
to tack on to the wa-
ter bill, I think that
was a good idea. I
don’t think a daily use
fee is helpful.”
“Daily admission
fee, I suppose. That
seems fair.”

U.S. Sen. Maria Cant-
well and U.S. Coast Guard
Commandant Adm. Paul
Zukunft announced Tuesday
that Coast Guard families in
s outhwest Washington state
and the North Coast of Ore-
gon will have greater access
to local health care providers.
Coast Guard dependents

Union reaches fi rst milestone
for corporate sales tax measure
tioned at Station Cape Dis-
appointment near Ilwaco,
Washington, and the Sector
Columbia River in Warrenton
will be eligible to enroll in
the TRICARE Prime Remote
health plan, allowing families
to seek out-of-network care.
Without this designation,
Coast Guard families have
experienced diffi culty access-
ing health care , with some
traveling more than a hundred
miles for care .
“Coast Guard members
stationed in s outhwest Wash-
ington and n orthern Oregon
protect our people, our environ-
ment and our economy every
day,” Cantwell, D-Washington,
said in a release. “I applaud the
Coast Guard for working with
me to make sure these Coast
Guard families can receive the
health care they deserve, where
they live and serve.”

Capital Bureau
Army Corps seeks comments on dredging
The Daily Astorian
The U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers is taking com-
ments on a request by the
Warrenton Fiber Co. to
dredge near its Tansy Point
barge-loading dock.
The company is request-
ing a 10-year maintenance
dredging permit to take
out 2,000 cubic yards of
sediment during the ini-
tial dredge event and up to
10,000 cubic yards of sedi-
ment thereafter.
The area around the facil-
ity would be dredged to 15
feet mean lower low water,
which refers to the aver-
age height of the lowest tide
recorded at a tide station
each day during the record-
ing period.
Comments must be
received by Monday and
include the Corps’ reference
number “NWP-2007-729-3.”
They can be emailed to dan-
ielle.h.erb@usace.army.mil .

divisive ballot measures, we
urge them to join us and oth-
ers advocating for a legislative
plan that includes both cost
control and new revenues to
pay for outcomes Oregonians
want, including better high
school graduation rates and
affordable access to college.”
Vaandering said the asso-
ciation would not wait to take
action to address Oregon’s
education funding woes.
“We refuse to sit idly by and
allow the crisis in Oregon’s
schools worsen while corpora-
tions obstruct all efforts to pay
a penny more in taxes,” Vaan-
dering said. “Our classrooms
are already far too crowded,
our school years are too short,
and our college tuition is much
too high to do nothing.”
The state House of Repre-
sentatives voted 35- 24 Tues-
day to postpone a vote on a
two-year K-12 budget of $8.2
billion, to give lawmakers
another week to reach a deal to
raise more revenue for educa-
tion. The Senate approved the
budget earlier this month.

under a certain threshold. The
threshold is “a sum of money
suffi cient to ensure the state
system of public education
meets quality goals established
by law.”
The Oregon Education
Association announced Tues-
day that petitioners have col-
lected the 1,000 signatures
needed to receive a ballot title.
The proposals are gaining
momentum just as the Dem-
ocratic majority in the Legis-
lature is scrambling to nego-
tiate corporate tax reform
and spending reductions with
Republicans and the business
community.
A Better Oregon, a coali-
tion of businesses that united
to defeat another union-backed
corporate sales tax measure last
November, issued a statement
Tuesday in response to the ini-
tiative petitions’ milestone.
“It’s disappointing that gov-
ernment employee unions con-
tinue to push for ballot measure
battles rather than working
collaboratively with legislators
to put the state on a sound fi s-
cal path into the future,” said
Pat McCormick, a spokesman
for Brighter Oregon. “Instead

SALEM — The state’s
largest teachers’ union has
reached the fi rst milestone to
land two tax reform proposals
on the November 2018 ballot.
One proposal, Initiative
Petition 27, would levy a 0.95
percent gross receipts tax on
corporations with annual sales
greater than $5 million. Peti-
tioners want all of the revenue
to go toward K-12 and higher
education.
“We are taking every step
we can to ensure our students
have the schools they deserve,”
said Hanna Vaandering, pres-
ident of the Oregon Educa-
tion Association, in a state-
ment. “Oregonians are tired of
shortchanging our students in
order to protect low corporate
taxes. They want a more equi-
table system where every stu-
dent gets the individual atten-
tion they need to succeed.”
The other, Initiative Peti-
tion 26, would eliminate the
constitutional requirement to
garner a three-fi fths majority
vote in both chambers of the
Legislature to pass new taxes,
when educational funding dips
