Oregon Department Of Human Resources
To Listen To Views Of Local Citizens
Superior Student
La Tanya Renee’
Carter
For the second consecutive year,
the top leadership of the Oregon Depart­
ment of Human Resources will travel to
Portland to listen to the views of local
citizens. “ We have a very difficult task
ahead,” said DepartmentdirectorKevin
Concannon, “ in determining social and
health service priorities in the wake of
Ballot Measure 5.”
Other communities scheduled for
visits include Pendleton, Bend, Medford,
and Eugene. Meetings in Portland on
July 22nd will be at 9 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.
at Fernwood Middle School, 1915 NE
33rd.
The Department of Human Re­
sources (DHR) is the state umbrella
agency for all health and social services.
Some 12,000 Department employees de­
liver services to tens of thousands of
Oregonians from protecting children to
delivering food stamps to increasing the
independence of seniors.
In the recently concluded legisla­
tive session, DHR and lawmakers
grappled with a substantial projected
budget cut. An improving Oregon econ­
omy has delayed many of the cuts pro­
posed for the 1991-93 budget.
If Oregon voters don’t approve a
new source of revenue to make up for
the Measure 5 losses, the next phase-in
of Ballot Measure 5 requires much larger
reductions in service. Concannon says
the Department wants to listen to the
ideas of Oregonians on how to balance
the needs of Oregon’s most vulnerable
population.
“ One example,” noted Concan­
non,” is deciding how to balance pre­
vention with serving people already in
serious need. W e’re not at the point of
trying to work specific budget num­
bers,” Concannon continued, “ but we
want to understand what global choices
Oregonians would make about our serv­
ices.”
Community
Meeting
The Portland Cable Access Board
of Directors is scheduled to meet at
7:30pm on Wednesday, July 17th, 1991
at 2766 ML King Jr. Boulevard.
