Support for international
trade slipped in Oregon
while the major candidates
for president criticized the
Trans-Paciic
Partnership
agreement that Congress
could consider later this year.
According
to
two
polls conducted by DHM
Research, the percentage
of Oregonians who believe
foreign trade is an opportu-
nity for economic growth
dropped from 65 percent in
March 2014 to 53 percent in
April 2016.
During that time, the
percentage of Oregonians
who believe trade is more
of a threat to the economy
increased from 19 percent to
36 percent.
“Our polling data reveal
that Oregonians are less
certain that international
trade is a good deal for our
state and our country in 2016
than they were two years
prior,” says DHM Research
founding partner Adam
Davis.
The drop in support
followed repeated attacks on
international trade treaties
by Republican presidential
candidate Donald Trump
and Democratic presidential
candidates Bernie Sanders
and Hillary Clinton. All
three candidates came out
against the TPP, even though
Clinton had previously called
it the “gold standard” of such
treaties.
“The seemingly 24-7
coverage of Trump and
Sanders this past year has
taken its toll on public under-
standing and appreciation of
the beneits of trade,” Davis
says. “It’s been a constant
drumbeat of Americans
losing jobs and big compa-
nies being the only benei-
ciaries of policies like the
Trans-Paciic Partnership.”
Doug Badger, executive
director of the Paciic North-
west International Trade
Association, deplores the
criticisms. Although Trump,
Sanders and — to a lesser
extent — Clinton have all
claimed such treaties have
reduced the number of Amer-

ican jobs, Badger says the
opposite is true, especially in
Oregon.
“Trade is creating jobs in
the country and the region,
which is especially dependent
on trade. And they are good-
paying jobs,” says Badger,
whose organization is aligned
with the Portland Business
Alliance and is pushing for
approval of the TPP.
Badger notes that support
for international trade is still
above 50 percent in Oregon,
which he says is a good thing.
But he worries the criticisms
by the presidential candi-
dates will make it harder to
win approval of the TPP and
future trade agreements.
“The politicians are saying
one thing but the economy is
saying another when it comes
to trade,” he says.
Davis agrees there’s little
public understanding of the
beneits of trade.
“Like we see in our
research
about
public
understanding of the basics
of governance and public
inance, there’s a great deal of
ignorance about international
trade. And the Trans-Paciic
Partnership agreement? You
got to be kidding; there’s
next to no facts-based
understanding of what it is
and how it affects Oregon’s
economy — positively or
negatively,” Davis says.
TPP opponent Michael
Shannon of the Oregon Fair
Trade Campaign argues that
just the opposite is true.
“The
public
isn’t
responding to the politicians,
the politicians are responding
to the public,” Shannon says.
“People are tired of stag-
nant wages and increasing
inequality, and previous trade
deals have shipped good
paying jobs with beneits
overseas,” says Shannon,
whose organization includes
labor, environmental and
social justice organizations.
Shannon and other oppo-
nents point to a recent study
by the United States Interna-
tional Trade Commission that
says some manufacturing
jobs would be lost because
of the TPP, although other
sectors of the economy, like
agriculture, would beneit.
Davis
conirms
his
company’s polls are inding
deep public dissatisfaction
with the economy.
“Nearly half of Orego-
nians believe that America
has gotten the short end of
the stick, perhaps in a nod of
agreement with Trump and
Sanders about the exporta-
tion of manufacturing and
other blue-collar jobs that
once served as the backbone
of our economy. Many of
these same people are not

considering, because they’re
not aware, the beneits of
international trade such as
lower prices and the avail-
ability of a wider range of
goods and services,” he says.
A 2013 study by the Value
of Jobs Coalition found that
$20 billion worth of Oregon
goods and services were
exported in 2012. There were
490,000 jobs tied directly or
indirectly to international
trade that year, up 20,000
from 2010. And the amount
of Oregon’s trade-related
employment grew 7.5 times
faster than total employment
between 2004 and 2011,
said the study, which was
supported by such business
groups as the Portland Busi-
ness Alliance and the Port of
Portland.
The TPP is an agreement
between the United States,
Canada, Japan, Australia,
Brunei, Chile, Malaysia,
Mexico, New Zealand, Peru,
Singapore and Vietnam.
According to Badger, seven
of Oregon’s top 11 export
markets were on this list in
2015, and they accounted for
nearly half of all of Oregon’s
export value that year.
“The export of Oregon
goods and services will only
increase if we can reform the
rules and reduce the tariffs
with our major trading part-
ners,” Badger says.
Shannon counters that the
biggest companies, such as
Nike, beneit most from such
deals, not average workers.
Because of the political
climate, some observers
believe President Obama will
ask the lame-duck session of
Congress to approve the TPP
after the November general
election.

Lawsuit alleges
lack of treatment
in Lane Co. Jail
EUGENE (AP) — A
Fall Creek man is suing
Lane County and others,
saying he was wrongly
denied needed psychiatric
care at the Lane County
Jail following his 2014
arrest.
The Register-Guard
reports that Angelo Fricano
is seeking $3 million
against the county and
Corizon Health, which
provided health care to
inmates until last year. The
nonproit Civil Liberties
Defense Center iled the
complaint last week in
federal court in Eugene.
Representatives for
Corizon and the county
declined to comment.
Authorities arrested
Fricano in June 2014,
after he allegedly used a
baseball bat to menace
a fellow vendor at the
Oregon Country Fair. That
criminal case was later
dismissed.
The lawsuit says
Fricano was taken to
jail under a mental hold,
which should have
required county oficials
to immediately take him to
a hospital to be examined.
Instead, he was placed
in jail. After 15 days, jail
oficials took Fricano to
a psychiatric hospital in
Eugene for treatment.
Man arrested on
gun charges in
John Day seeks
release from jail
PORTLAND (AP) —
An Oregon man who was
arrested after authorities
found a machine gun in
his trailer is seeking to be
released while he awaits
trial on federal weapons
charges.
The Oregonian reports
that Michael Emry’s
attorney iled a motion
Friday in federal court in
Eugene seeking his release.
The FBI took him into
custody in May in John
Day, Oregon. FBI and ATF
agents searched Emry’s
trailer, which was serving
as his home, and found the
weapon.
The FBI says Emry
admitted he took the gun
from a shop where he
works in Boise, Idaho.
Emry says the owner of the
shop didn’t know that he
had taken the weapon.
Emry faces charges
of illegally possessing a
machine gun not registered
to him and illegally
having a irearm with an
obliterated serial number.
