There is no organized
opposition to the measure,
but the Oregon Education

support the measure.
Instead,
OEA
is
campaigning for passage
of the corporate sales tax
measure, Initiative Petition
28. The tax measure would
yield about $3 billion in
additional revenue each year
for education and other state
services.

Voter privacy, emergency clause fail to make ballot
passes a bill.
Lawmakers have increas-
ingly used emergency clauses
in bills in order to achieve
a quicker effective date.
Adding the clause removes
voters’ constitutional right to
contest the legislation via a
referendum on the ballot.
The campaign needed
28,171 additional valid
signatures to secure a posi-
tion on the ballot, but turned
in only 26,000, according
to the Secretary of State’s
Ofice.
Chief petitioners Eric

Zuckerman, a spokesperson
for the IP 65 campaign.
“This measure will do these
things.”
The measure would infuse
high schools with about $147
million a year. That amount
would
be
signiicantly
greater if voters also approve
a controversial corporate sale
tax measure in November,
which levies a 2.5 percent
tax on the Oregon sales
exceeding $25 million of
certain corporations.
The deadline to turn in
signatures was July 8, but the
Secretary of State’s Ofice
has until the irst week of
August to verify all of the
signatures.
Former Gov. Ted Kulon-
goski, LaToya Fick, exec-
utive director of Stand for
Children, and Carmen Rubio,
executive director of the
Latino Network, spearheaded
the campaign for IP 65 in
hopes of boosting the state’s
lackluster graduation rate.

Shown is today’s weather. Temperatures are today’s highs and tonight’s lows.
— Founded Oct. 16, 1875 —
SALEM — An initiative
to dedicate more state funding
to high school dropout
prevention and career and
technical education has qual-
iied for the November ballot,
according to the Secretary of
State’s Ofice.
The campaign for Initia-
tive Petition 65, Oregonians
for High School Success
Initiative, gathered 101,302
valid signatures, 13,118 more
than the 88,184-signature
threshold.
The
ballot
measure
allocates one-sixth of new
state revenue to high school
dropout prevention, college
readiness and career tech-
nical education programs.
“Every Oregon high
school
should
provide
students with real world
skills and hands-on profes-
sional training that connects
to local good paying jobs,
and students should have
better access to college
level classes,” said Peter

without voters’ express
consent. Public oficials who
violated the law would have
faced a Class A misdemeanor,
according to the initiative
proposed by Richard Taylor
Whitehead of Aloha.
Next week, the Secretary
of State’s Ofice plans to
verify signatures for IP 67,
which allows lottery funds to
be used for Outdoor School
programs. IP 68, which would
prohibit the sale of products
made from 12 endangered
species, also is on schedule
for signature veriication next
week, said Molly Woon, a
spokeswoman for the secre-
tary of state.
Corrections
A headline in Friday’s East Oregonian provided incorrect information about the Dillon
Dam removal project. The dam is expected to be removed by next summer.
The city of Hermiston is proposing a one-year $100,000 rent payment for the Umatilla
County Fire District 1, with decreasing payments in subsequent years. Incorrect informa-
tion appeared on Page 1A of Friday’s edition.
The East Oregonian works hard to be accurate and sincerely regrets any errors. If
you notice a mistake in the paper, please call 541-966-0818.
