SALEM — State auditors
have found that Oregon’s new tax
processing system works well, but that
the Department of Revenue could take
extra precautions to protect taxpayers’
personal information.
The findings are something of a
bright spot for the state’s beleaguered
Department of Revenue, which has
been under the Legislature’s micro-
scope of late.
Last year, lawmakers sought a
comprehensive review of the depart-
ment’s operations, including a financial
audit and management assessment, and
have told the department to report regu-
larly to the Legislature on its progress.
In addition to the processing system
audit released Wednesday morning, the
Secretary of State’s Office also plans to
audit the agency’s “governance and
culture” within the next year.
Since 2013, the revenue department
has been standing up GenTax, an
off-the-shelf, integrated tax processing
system developed by FAST Enter-
prises.
The project was intended to update
the state’s decades-old tax software
and databases.
According to the governor’s
2017-19 recommended budget, the
total cost of the new system is $78
million.
Overall, auditors say the new
system works well, but there are some
weaknesses:
permission, never identified them-
selves and didn’t warn Flores-Haro that
he would be shot if he got a gun.
The officers fired 14 times. Several
bullets pierced the walls of the
Flores-Haro’s home. Five children
were in the home at the time.
“They treated Mr. Flores-Haro as
another obstacle in their way, in order
to accomplish their mission, rather than
treating him as one of their missions in
the first place — to protect the commu-
nity,” Park told jurors.
Lawyers for the officers countered
in closing arguments that it was
Flores-Haro’s poor choice to emerge
from his home with a gun.
“He wanted to scare the hell out of
people. ... His reaction was way out of
proportion to the event that occurred,”

BRIEFLY
Boy accused of
sending message:
‘I am the shooter!’
SPRINGFIELD (AP)
— An Oregon high school
student has been charged
with disorderly conduct after
police say he sent a Snapchat
message to a girl at another
high school that read: “I am
the shooter!”
Lt. Scott McKee of
the Springfield Police
Department said the
freshman boy described
the message as a joke. But
McKee said it wasn’t taken
as a joke, and it created
additional panic at a time
when there were rumors
of a school shooting at
Springfield High School.
McKee said the message
was sent to the girl’s cell
phone shortly before noon
Tuesday. The 15-year-old
boy was arrested at home
Wednesday and booked into
a juvenile detention center.
The boy attends Thurston
High, where 15-year-old Kip
Kinkel killed two students
and wounded 25 others in a
1998 shooting spree. Kinkel
is serving a de facto life
sentence.
Man held without
bail following
student’s death
SALEM (AP) — An
Oregon judge has ordered
a Salem man to be held
without bail after he was
indicted last week in
the shooting death of a
17-year-old high school
student.
The Statesman Journal
reports 36-year-old Pedro
Segura was arraigned
Tuesday after he was
indicted on a charge of
murder and three counts of
unlawful use of a weapon.
Authorities say McKay
High School student Alfredo
Hernandez died in January
after being shot in the head.
Judge Heidi Strauch
ordered Segura to be
held without bail after he
was initially being held
on $500,000 bail. Court
documents indicate Segura
was treated at a hospital for
a gunshot wound following
the shooting last month.

attorney Steven Kraemer said.
The officers were members of
a tactical team from neighboring
Washington County. They were called
because Portland’s team was training
that day.
The team members and their lawyers
said they didn’t alert Flores-Haro and
other neighbors about their mission
because they didn’t know if any were
associates of the suspect.
The jury awarded $2.5 million to
Flores-Haro for battery.
The jurors also awarded $4.5
million in damages for negligence, but
that amount is expected to be reduced
to $2.6 million because the jury found
that Flores-Haro shared some liability
for the incident, The Oregonian/
OregonLive reported.

• The agency can do a better job
monitoring who has access to GenTax.
• The Department of Revenue hasn’t
sought an independent security review
of the outside contractor, FAST Data
Services, that analyzes Oregonians’
personal income tax return data.
• GenTax system files are backed up,
but there’s no guarantee that the state
could restore the system in the event of
a “disaster or major disruption.”
DOR’s director, Nia Ray, who has
been leading the department since
October 2016, agreed with auditors’
recommendations and says the agency
has begun to implement some of them.
In the 2015-17 budget cycle, the
department collected $18.5 billion in
tax revenues, about 84 percent of that
in income taxes, according to the audit.

Jury awards more than $5M to man shot by police
PORTLAND (AP) — A federal jury
awarded millions of dollars in damages
to a Portland man who was shot and
wounded by police he mistook for
intruders.
Jurors on Tuesday found the officers
liable for battery and negligence when
they failed to identify themselves while
going through the man’s yard in March
2012 to surround the home of a suspect
wanted for attempted murder, The
Oregonian/OregonLive reported.
Adalberto Flores-Haro went outside
to yell at the unknown figures. When
they told him to go back inside, he
returned with a gun and was shot in the
abdomen and elbow.
His lawyer, David Park, told jurors
during his closing argument that the
officers entered the property without
