Several options to raise revenue By JEFF MAPES Oregon Public Broadcasting Gov. Kate Brown has released her long-awaited plan to tackle the state’s fi nancially troubled public pension system. The governor’s proposal, made public Friday, includes a long list of ideas to raise around $3.3 billion over the next 16 years to shield schools from most of the rate hikes facing public employ- ers. State leaders are trying to dig their way out of a pen- sion debt now estimated at nearly $27 billion. The plan includes propos- als that could affect taxpay- ers, the business community and the state’s 70,000 school employees. Among other things, it calls for capping next year’s “kicker” income tax rebate at $100 — a move that would divert up to $500 million from taxpayers into the Public Employees Retirement System school rescue fund. “There’s something in here for everyone to love — and everyone to pick at,” said Nik Blosser, Brown’s chief of staff, in an interview with Oregon Public Broadcast- ing . “The governor’s goal is really to spread that burden in a shared, equitable way.” In remarks prepared for delivery to a legislative com- mittee Friday, the governor said that she was particularly concerned what could hap- pen to schools in a recession if lawmakers fail to tackle PERS. “Tweaks to the PERS sys- tem will not set us on a path toward stability,” Brown said. “We have had this prob- lem for several years, and I Astoria Warrenton Crab, Seafood & Wine Festival Brown’s proposal wouldn’t actually take any- thing out of the current pay- checks of teachers or other school employees. Instead, it would affect the size of their retirement savings account. The Oregon Supreme Court has made it clear that PERS changes can’t affect the 146,000 retirees cur- rently receiving retirement benefi ts. Meanwhile, business leaders criticized the idea of diverting surplus money from SAIF, the state’s work- ers compensation fund, say- ing that revenues for the public corporation come out of the pockets of individual businesses. Seaside man indicted for arson after allegedly setting garage on fi re By BRENNA VISSER The Daily Astorian A Seaside man who allegedly set a garage on fire while fleeing from a car accident ear- lier this month is facing a first-degree arson charge. Moctezuma Garcia, 20, allegedly drove his vehicle into a fence on Eighth Avenue in Seaside before fleeing on foot. During his escape, he allegedly entered some- one’s garage and started a fire. The homeowner and Garcia appear to have no relationship, said Scott McCracken, the senior deputy district attorney prosecuting the case. Garcia was sent to a Portland-area hospital to treat serious injuries that police believe are self-in- flicted from the fire. Garcia has been indicted on first-de- gree arson, second-de- gree burglary, failure to perform the duties of a driver and two counts of second-degree criminal mischief .
