Letter to the Editor
Vote ‘No’ on
health care tax
Oregon voters beware. The
Measure 101 sales tax on
health care will not lower
health insurance, nor will it
improve health care for Ore-
gon families.
However, it is expected that
pro-tax bureaucrats in Salem
will keep raising this tax just
as most sales taxes around
the nation are continually
raised.
These are some of those
who will be hardest hit with
the cost of this health care
sales tax:
•Medicaid providers them-
selves will be taxed under
this new plan, potentially re-
ducing payments to doctors
and nurses who already work
at cost to help Oregon’s need-
iest citizens.
• Thousands of college stu-
dents attending Oregon’s
universities and community
colleges who will be forced to
pay higher tuition because of
the schools’ having to pay the
health care sales tax.
• Oregon school districts in
the large group market, caus-
ing an expected $25 million
to be sucked out of our local
schools.
• The PEBB (Public Em-
ployee Benefit Board) plan
will be taxed, pulling $12 mil-
lion from our general fund.
• Patients in hospitals

whose net revenue will have
a hard sales tax imposed and
will pass it on to the patients’
health insurance costs.
• Small businesses (under
50 employees) who cover
their employees’ health care.
Who won’t pay Measure 101
taxes?
Large corporations, unions
and the insurance companies
themselves are exempt from
the law!
Oregon is already the sixth
biggest tax-and-spend state
in the nation at $9,070 per
person. Please vote “No” on
Measure 101 by Jan. 23. It
is bad policy for all Oregon
families!

Warrenton
Facilities: School district makes plans to expand
Rose said.
The planning committee,
which includes 20 mem-
bers of the community and
school staff, began meeting
in the fall. The group gave
the school board an overview
Wednesday night of what
will be needed to meet fu-
ture maintenance and space
demands, how much it will
cost to cover them and how
the district would fund major
building projects.
The group determined
what was needed and what
was crucial, Rose said. Even-
tually, members prioritized
projects based on strong
community sentiment and
affordability.
According to a summary
Rose wrote, the district’s fu-
ture expansion must include:
• An adjustable configura-
tion to accommodate popula-
tion changes.
• A focus on students. Con-
tinued over-use of the grade
school site makes learning
more difficult.
• Career and technical edu-
cation.
• Makerspace and science,
technology, engineering and
math opportunities. Any de-
velopment of new space must
include hands-on labs.
• Success like the fish-hatch-
ery. The high school’s hatch-
ery has been lauded by the
state and operates almost en-
tirely through financial sup-
port of local businesses.
The long-range construc-
tion plan is $36.4 million.
The district is applying for a
state grant to pay for some
of it, but the major funding
would come from bonds.

The school board must de-
cide by spring whether to
send the issue before voters,
who could end up paying
hundreds through their prop-
erty tax bill.
“The citizens of Warrenton,
they support things if you can
show what the benefits are,
don’t overshoot and you ef-
fectively communicate it to
them,” Kujala said. “They’re
going to support the essential
services. We’re a blue-collar
community. We support ed-
ucation.”
