Fights
Increases
In 1975, Jack fought against
passage of an increase in taxes
for small wood lot owners. He
also opposed mass transit district
taxes and a bill that would have
imposed a tax on telephone bills.
He thinks the legislature ought
to be working to cut taxes, not
raise them, snd that better
government, not bigger govern
ment is the answer to the state's
financial problems.
As a member of Ways and
Means, most important commit
tee in the legislature. Jack was
able to pare millions of dollars off
state budgets, dollars that would
have come out of the pockets of
Oregon's hard pressed taxpayers.
