T h e O reg o n S enate has a g olden opportunity to do a favor for all
O regonians this w eek, acco rd in g to Senator Shirley G old (D -E astside
Portland). S h e ’s urging her co lleag u es to elim inate the corporate kicker
law starting in 1997.

"T he O regonian called the k ick er law a ridiculous O regon tax policy
in a M ay 14 editorial, said G old. "T he editorial said the kicker requires
clairvoyance in econom ic forecasting." T he kicker law says that if state
revenues are 2% m ore than w hat w as forecasted at the beginning o f the
biennium , the surplus m ust be refunded “It puts us in a position o f alm ost
hoping that the econom y w o n ’t grow too m uch,” Boid said. "The
O regonian said it best - 'th is is n u ts.” ’
T his y ea r’s kicker refund will give corporations a 54% tax reduction
next year. Individual taxpayers, on the other hand, are getting a tax credit
of ju st under 6% . “It’s ju st an o th er tax loophole for the w ealthy. It’s tim e
w e got rid o f it.”
A nother bill, HB 2263, w ould get rid o f the kickers. T hat hill has been
stalled in the H ouse. S en ato r G o ld says her m inority report on HB 2202
w ould give the S enate the o p p o rtu n ity to do the right thing on the kicker
issue.
