Oregon state revenues are also are expected to climb
higher than previously expected beyond mid-2019,
when the state’s current budget biennium ends, ac-
cording a revenue forecast released Wednesday. In
the long term, revenues are expected to slow, as the
state’s population ages and more of those people
exit the labor force.
McMullen said, including
among low-income people
and beyond the state’s major
population centers.
“A lot of our smaller and
more distressed rural areas
are starting to pick up,”
McMullen said.
Mid-year
population
estimates show that every
Oregon county has added
population in 2017, which
makes Oregon’s rural areas
stand out from rural areas
elsewhere in the country.
While at some point the
economic expansion is going
to end, the risk of entering a
recession is currently low.
State economist Josh
Lehner said there were few
indicators of an impending
recession.
The
state’s
budgetary reserves are also

growing, which could pad,
but not fully offset, the effects
of a recession.
The economic forecast
was released on the heels
of new population growth
estimates from Portland
State University’s Population
Research Center, finding that
the state’s population had
increased between 64,750
between 2016 and 2017.
Much of that — about 88
percent — was due to migra-
tion into the state.
While deaths are expected
to outnumber births in
Oregon in 2029, which could
change the long-term outlook
for revenue and economic
growth, but Lehner also
noted that the outlook for
in-migration continues to be
positive.

Two top executives
accused of bank
fraud are convicted
PORTLAND (AP)
— Two former top bank
executives accused of
committing bank fraud
have been convicted of
conspiracy.
The Oregonian/
OregonLive reported
Tuesday that a jury
found Bank of Oswego’s
co-founder and former
Chief Executive Dan Heine
and the Chief Financial
Officer Diane Yates guilty
of falsifying entries in the
bank’s books for five years.
Prosecutors say Heine
and Yates falsified the bank
records to cover up bad
loans from regulators and the
bank’s own board.
They were convicted on
12 counts of making false
entries, each carrying a
30-year maximum prison
sentence.
Their sentencing is
scheduled for March 5.
Haine’s lawyer and Yates’
lawyer say they plan to
challenge the verdict.

WORLD CITIES
Shown is today’s weather. Temperatures are today’s highs and tonight’s lows.
SALEM — State econ-
omists said Wednesday that
they expect the state’s general
fund and lottery revenues to
be about $47 million higher
than forecast last quarter.
State revenues are also are
expected to climb higher than
previously expected beyond
mid-2019, when the state’s
current budget biennium
ends.
In the long term, revenues
are expected to slow, as the
state’s population ages and
more of those people exit the
labor force. Oregon collects
most of its revenue from the
personal income tax.
However, if plans in
Congress to reform federal
taxes succeed, that could
boost the state’s income tax
collections
significantly,
said state economist Mark
McMullen.
As written, the GOP tax
plan would do away with
several deductions; and
Oregonians can deduct their
federal taxes from their state
taxes. So reduced federal
taxes could increase the
amount that Oregonians pay
to the state, although the tax
plan could affect different
income earners differently.
Meanwhile, the overall
economic outlook is fairly
stable, McMullen said.
While the rate of Oregon’s
job growth has slowed, the
state is still outperforming
the overall U.S.
The state is also seeing
broader gains in the economy.
