Representative Stafford
Hansell the dinner speaker at
the Tax Forum held last week
in Heppner reviewed some of
the points of Governor Mc
Calls proposal for school
financing. He said the basic
part of the governor's pro
gram would support the
school but "it's a little gray
how to get the money back to
the school districts". In talk
ing it over with the governor,
Mr. Hansell asked "What will
this do to local control", to
which the governor answered
"Local control is a myth".
Stafford laughed when he
asked the governor to go with
him to Umapine, Helix and
Ukiah and tell them that.
Other committees in the
legislature are working to
gether and will probably
present a program to support
50 percent of the school costs.
He said "except in extreme
emergency a sales tax won't
be considered".
We could increase the liquor
tax and pickup 10 million
dollars. Increase tuition at the
state schools has been con
sidered. Another area few
have had enough nerve to
mention is "Economy in
government". Homeowners
relief is going to cost. No

He said there was lots ot
program before its accep

his earlier probably "espec

The education committee and
the tax committee are work

committee has a distribution

He appreciates Oregon's
law that the state has to have a
balanced budget "but as long
as we have any unaccounted
funds, the demands are
tremendous." "It's almost
impossible to cut off a
program when it's started".
Stafford's years in the house
have placed him in a position
of respect and members seek
his advise and he sometimes
has the reputation of being a
"hatchet man". He laughed
and said "I don't get to do as
much hatcheting as I'd like".
He referred then to Measure
No. 7 to repeal the Governors
pension. He felt that it was
just a foot in the door and
pretty soon the taxpayers
would be asked to provide a
pension for the Secretary of
state, the treasurer, president
of the senate and maybe the
speaker of the house.
The measure is to repeal the
