White House on Flynn
WASHINGTON (AP) — Former
acting attorney general Sally Yates
is expected to testify to Congress
next week that she expressed alarm
to the White House about President
Donald Trump’s national security
adviser’s contacts with the Russian
ambassador, which could contradict
how the administration has
characterized her counsel.
Yates is expected to recount
in detail her Jan. 26 conversation
about Michael Flynn and that she
saw discrepancies between the
administration’s public statements
on his contacts with ambassador
Sergey Kislyak and what really
transpired, according to a person
familiar with that discussion and
knowledgeable about Yates’s plans
for her testimony.
The person spoke on condition of
anonymity so as not to pre-empt the
testimony.
The person said Yates is expected
to say that she expressed alarm to

President Donald Trump declared
Tuesday the U.S. government “needs
a good shutdown” this fall to fix
a “mess” in the Senate, signaling
on Twitter his displeasure with a
bill to keep operations running.
But Republican leaders and Trump

Government ‘needs
a good shutdown,’
frustrated Trump tweets
and a sign of his masterful
negotiating with Democrats.
On the defensive, Trump and his
allies issued a flurry of contradictory
statements ahead of key votes in
Congress on a $1.1 trillion spending
bill to keep the government at full
speed through September. After
advocating for a future shutdown,
the president hailed the budget
agreement as a boost for the military,
border security and other top
priorities.
“This is what winning looks
like,” Trump said during a ceremony
honoring the Air Force Academy
football team. “Our Republican team
had its own victory — under the
radar,” Trump said, calling the bill “a
clear win for the American people.”
Late in the day, the White House
said he would indeed sign the bill.
Yet Trump’s morning tweets
hardly signaled a win and came
after Democrats gleefully claimed
victory in denying him much of his
wish list despite being the minority
party. They sounded a note of defeat,
blaming Senate rules for a budget
plan that merited closing most
government operations.

about Flynn’s conversation with
Kislyak. White House officials have
said that Yates merely wanted to give
them a “heads-up” about Flynn’s
Russian contacts.
Flynn was ousted weeks after
the Yates conversation with White
House officials. They initially
maintained Flynn had not discussed
Russian sanctions with Kislyak
during the transition period, but after
published reports said the opposite,
then admitted he misled them about
the nature of that call.

PBS
upcoming two-year budget.
Hass has been leading
the charge on efforts to vet
changes to the tax system.
Legislative Revenue Officer
Paul Warner called the infor-
mation presented Tuesday
a “guidepost” to drafting a
formal tax proposal.
Under the plan, a new
tax would apply to all
businesses with more than
$150,000 in annual sales in
Oregon. Companies with
sales between $150,000 and
$1 million would be charged
a flat rate of $250, while
those with sales of more
than $1 million would pay
the flat fee and a percentage
of gross receipts exceeding
$1 million. That percentage
remains undecided.
The nonpartisan Legis-
lative
Revenue
Office
estimated by extrapolating
information from Ohio that a
rate of .25 percent, combined
with eliminating the corpo-
rate income tax, would bring
in an additional $288 million
in the upcoming two-year
budget if both policies started
Jan. 1, 2018. At the high end,
a 1 percent rate could bring
in about $3.1 billion in the
next two-year budget.
Some
Democratic
lawmakers, including Hass,
seemed eager Tuesday to
distinguish the proposal
from Ballot Measure 97, a
tax proposal voters rejected
in November.
That proposal, brought
forward by union groups,
would have created a gross
receipts tax, but at a 2.5
percent rate, and just on
certain corporations with
annual gross receipts of
more than $25 million. It was
expected to bring in about $6
billion per budget period.
A gross receipts tax could
affect certain businesses
differently. A grocer, for
example, typically has low
profit margins compared to
professional services firms
such as lawyers’ offices.
Washington
state’s
business and occupation tax
accounts for these differ-
ences in sectors by assessing
different rates for different
sectors, while Ohio has opted
for one rate in its commercial
activities tax to keep the base
wide, and therefore rates
low, according to Legislative
Revenue Office documents
prepared for Tuesday’s
meeting.
The Legislative Revenue
Office says that the disad-
vantages of a gross receipts
tax included “pyramiding”
— when a tax is assessed
at multiple stages of the
production process — and
“upward pressure” placed on
consumer prices.
Detractors say a gross
receipts tax could be regres-
sive, as people earning lower
incomes pay a greater share
of their income on consumer
goods. Part of the proposal
discussed Tuesday includes
lower rates for income taxes
for lower-income earners,
expanding the earned income
tax credit and increasing
the standard deduction and
personal exemption credit.
In proposing a plan, the
work group aimed for four
policy “principles”, Warner
said, including a broad base
and a simplification of state
business taxes.
In the wake of Measure
97’s failure, labor groups
have maintained their call for
changes to the state’s revenue
system, and in particular,
higher business taxes. They
say their aim is not just to
address the $1.6 billion gap
presently before lawmakers,
but what they characterize
as the structural pitfalls of a
budget that relies heavily on
the personal income tax.
“We’ll be watching
closely to see if this plan
generates revenues above
and beyond the deficit,” SEIU
Local 503 President Steve
Demarest said in a prepared
statement. “Because that’s
what Oregon needs to make
real investments in educa-
tion, healthcare, and other
critical public services.”
Brighter
Oregon,
a
business group, that has
coalesced around the state’s
budget issues, contends the
proposal merely passes costs
onto consumers in the style
of Measure 97, and said that
changes to the state’s revenue
system could wait until the
Legislature adjourns in July.
“Consideration of tax
increases to fund vital
investments can occur once
cost controls are in place,”
said Sandra McDonough,
president and CEO of the
Portland Business Alliance.
A Better Oregon — a
coalition of groups calling
for increased business taxes
— claimed businesses are
“stalling.”
“This is yet another
example of business’ brazen
moving of the goal posts
when it comes to meaningful
compromise,” said Hannah
Love, campaign manager
for A Better Oregon, in a
statement.
A Brighter Oregon has
said they are willing to
consider revenue reform
once the legislature prior-
itizes economic growth
and containing the state’s
costs. Yet another, separate
group, calling itself Priority
Oregon, has formed opposi-
tion specifically to any gross
receipts tax.
Republican leaders in the
legislature also called for
addressing the state’s costs
first, saying they believed
Oregonians would reject
another gross receipts tax,
which they characterized as
a descendant of Measure 97.
“While I appreciate the
efforts of Sen. Hass, I do not
believe Oregonians would
support this latest rendition
of Measure 97,” said House
Minority Leader Mike
McLane, R-Powell Butte.
By
contrast,
House
Majority Leader Jennifer
Williamson,
D-Portland,
called the plan a “great step
forward” and argued it would
simplify business taxes,
stabilize school funding and
relieve “working families.”
A bipartisan group of
legislators released a broad
list of possible strategies
to address the state’s cost
drivers April 21; last week,
the governor announced
efforts to step up the state’s
debt collection and make
changes
to
collective
bargaining with public
employees.
Lawmakers on the tax
reform committee will
continue discussing business
taxes at their next meeting
Thursday morning.
