On The Record
Comm. Bozievich issues resolution on ‘Cap and Trade’ bills
Lane County Commis-
sioner Jay Bozievich issued
a personal resolution op-
posing Senate Bill 1530 and
House Bill 4176 the Cap
and Trade legislation Mon-
day, arguing that both bills
violate principles adopted
by the Lane County Board
of Commissioners and
the Association of Oregon
Counties, of which Lane
County is a dues-paying
member.
“This legislation is go-
ing to harm my district and
take funds away from our
roads department,” Boziev-
ich said. “I am hoping that
my fellow commissioners
will follow my example and
adopt a personal resolution
because it is not possible to
adopt one as a board due to
our schedule.”
According to Bozievich,
SB 1530 and HB 4167 create
a system of taxing carbon
emissions that leaves the
spending of those proceeds
up to future legislators.
In addition, Bozievich
said the legislation would
take funds generated from
taxing transportation fuels
and divert them from the
Highway Trust Fund, al-
lowing them to be spent on
non-transportation spend-
ing.
Bozievich also said that
the bills do not provide
for any funding to local
governments to alleviate
increased costs due to the
legislation.
“Both SB 1530 and HB
4167 are not transparent
and include provisions to
exempt financial and oth-
er information from pub-
lic records requests,” said
Bozievich. “In addition,
they both include unneces-
sary emergency clauses that
take away the citizens’ dem-
ocratic right of referral.”
The West Lane District
1 that Bozievich represents
encompasses the commu-
nities of Santa Clara, Bethel,
Junction City, Fern Ridge,
Lorane, Triangle Lake,
Mapleton, Dunes City and
Florence. The estimated
population of the district is
75,000 people.
