Voters appear to be re-
jecting Measure 97, the con-
troversial corporate sales tax
measure, according to early
vote totals.
No votes had 58 percent
of the vote, while Yes votes
had 41 percent.
The union-backed mea-
sure would impose a 2.5
percent “gross receipts” tax
on C-corporations’ Oregon
sales exceeding $25 million.
It would raise $3 billion a
year for state coffers.
Proponents of the mea-
sure argue the proceeds
would give stability to ed-
ucation, health care and se-
nior services and make big
corporations pay a fairer
share of the state’s tax rev-
enue.

many of the corporations
that would have to pay the
tax, say the tax is unfair be-
cause it taxes sales rather
than profits and treats dif-
ferent kinds of corporations
inequitably.
The campaign over Mea-
sure 97 is the most costly
for a ballot measure in Ore-
gon history, with both sides
raising a combined $42.3
million.

Gov. Brown leads Pierce in early results
Capital Bureau
Early election results
show Gov. Kate Brown lead-
ing her GOP challenger Dr.
Bud Pierce. According to
early election returns,
Brown had 51 percent of
the vote to Pierce’s 43 per-
cent.
Brown and Pierce are
running for the two years
remaining in the unexpired
term of former Gov. John
Kitzhaber. As then secretary
of state, Brown assumed
the governorship when
Kitzhaber resigned in Febru-
ary 2015.
Pierce, a Salem oncol-
ogist, is a political novice
standing as his party’s nom-
inee in his first general elec-
tion.
