Gas tax
Continued from A11
Drivers would also be able to
opt out of tracking their mile-
age and pay a flat annual fee of
$400, a provision that would
expire in 2030.
The miles traveled fee and
the looming issue of finding
a way to supplement and ulti-
mately replace the gas tax isn’t
new — Oregon first started
studying that topic decades
ago. In 2001, the state created
a task force to study the issue
and subsequently led the na-
tion in adopting a pilot proj-
ect in the mid-2000s. In 2013,
the Legislature created what
became its voluntary OReGo
program that allows drivers
to opt in and pay a per-mile
charge, now 1.8 cents.
The Joint Committee on
Transportation held a public
hearing Tuesday on the pro-
posal, which was created by a
state task force formed in 2001
comprising transportation of-
ficials and advocates as well as
local and state lawmakers.
Rep. John Lively, D-Spring-
field, the bill’s sponsor and that
task force’s vice-chair, said the
legislation is intended to serve
as a starting point. “Many of us
feel we should make the transi-
tion faster than that,” he said of
the 2027 timeline.
Lively also noted that there
would be millions of cars on
the road not required to par-
ticipate. “We still have an enor-
mous amount of transition to
do,” he said.
According to some who tes-
tified before the Legislature
Tuesday, Oregon is risking los-
ing its status as a transporta-
tion innovator because the bill
as written does nothing to dis-
courage drivers from buying
gasoline-powered vehicles.
“It makes a bad situation
worse,” Angus Duncan, for-
mer chair of the Oregon Global
Warming Commission, told
lawmakers Tuesday. “It will in-
crease the cost of driving an effi-
cient vehicle while continuing to
reward drivers of gas guzzlers.”
He suggested Oregon do
what California and Washing-
ton are currently considering,
which is link a driver’s “vehicle
miles traveled” fee to a formula
that factors in the fuel effi-
ciency of their vehicle. Another
option would be to simultane-
ously increase the gas tax fur-
ther and index it to inflation.
State transportation officials
said the 2027 timeline is pred-
icated on an estimate that one-
third of new cars will meet the
30 miles per gallon or greater
threshold.
Some legislative amendments
introduced this week take stabs
at doing more. One proposal
would eliminate the fuel effi-
ciency standard and require
all drivers of new vehicles pay
the fee. Another amendment,
backed by Rep. Susan McLain,
D-Forest Grove, would elimi-
nate the fuel efficiency require-
ment while also requiring some
vehicles’ owners to pay an addi-
tional fee to reflect the damage
greenhouse gas emissions inflict
on the environment.
Vivian Satterfield, direc-
tor of strategic partnerships
at Cully-based environmental
nonprofit Verde, said the state
should do more to raise costs
for fossil-burning vehicles.
Several lawmakers echoed
the concern that drivers of high
fuel efficiency vehicles would
pay the same rate as someone
who drives significantly more
in a less efficient vehicle. “I
don’t think that’s appropriate,”
said Sen. Lynn Findley, R-Vale.
Other lawmakers expressed
concern about privacy, in-
cluding GPS tracking software
needed to report mileage.

Marijuana
Continued from A11
Some studies have linked
high-THC pot, especially
when used daily, with the like-
lihood of psychosis and cer-
tain other mental health prob-
lems. But there is debate over
whether one causes the other.
Dr. Rachel Knox, an Ore-
gon physician who counsels
patients on using cannabis for
various conditions, said she
doesn’t see an increased risk
of psychosis for people using
such products under medical
oversight.
She opposes capping po-
tency but suggests that prod-
ucts containing over 70%
THC should be reserved for
medical users while research
continues.
Farm code
Continued from A11
The items must be “per-
sonal” to the farm’s owners or
immediate family and cannot
pose a greater hazard than
regular farm uses.
However, HB 2611 may
encounter further revisions
now that it’s being consid-
ered by the Senate.

“I think we should treat
it with both freedom and
with kid gloves,” says Knox,
a former chair of the Oregon
Cannabis Commission and
a board member of the Mi-
nority Cannabis Business As-
sociation, a trade group.
But Colorado pediatrician
and state Rep. Dr. Yadira Car-
aveo says she has seen the
dangers of high-THC canna-
bis.
One of her adolescent pa-
tients who used high-potency
pot daily was repeatedly hos-
pitalized with severe vomiting
linked to heavy marijuana use,
and another needed psychi-
atric hospitalization after the
drug exacerbated his mental
health problems, said Cara-
veo. She’s thinking about pro-
posing a potency cap.
“I think we should treat it
with both freedom and with
kid gloves.”
“I’m not interested in go-
ing back to criminalization,”
the Democrat says, but “the
reason that I ran, and what I
continue to do with the Legis-
lature every day, is to protect
public health.”
Various states have regu-
lated how many milligrams
of THC can be in a single
serving, package or retail
sale, at least for some prod-
ucts. Vermont took a differ-
ent approach, limiting the
percentage of the chemical in
any amount of recreational
pot — 30% for flower-form
marijuana and 60% for con-
centrates. Nationally, the U.S.
Senate’s bipartisan Caucus on
International Narcotics Con-
trol suggested last month that
federal health agencies study
whether pot potency should
be limited.
Legalization supporters say
caps will backfire.
“Consumer demand for
these products is not going to
go away, and re-criminalizing
them will only push this con-
sumer base to seek out similar
products in the unregulated
illicit market,” Paul Armen-
tano, the deputy director of
NORML, wrote in a recent
op-ed in the Denver newspa-
per Westword.
sboro, said she’d voted the bill
out of committee despite con-
cerns of building code enforc-
ers who wanted to specify that
nonfarm uses be “temporary.”
That requirement wasn’t
ultimately included in the ver-
sion of HB 2611 passed by the
House.
The Oregon Farm Bureau
preferred not to include the
“temporary” requirement be-
cause it could have arbitrarily
limited storage to six months,
while some items might need
to be stored for seven or eight
months, said Samantha Bayer,
the organization’s policy coun-
sel. Also, the temporary re-
quirement would likely “be
difficult to enforce,” she said.
