The largest tax relief plan in
Oregon's history received
overwhelming, bi-partisan
support from the Oregon
House of Representatives last
Thursday.
The three-part proposal,
which provides half-a-billion
dollars in relief, goes a long
way towards answering Ore
gonians demands for income
tax and property tax relief.
One hundred million dollars of
the state's surplus would be
returned to personal income
taxpayers in proportion to the
amount of income taxes paid
in 1978. The rebate amounts to
a 13 per cent return of income
taxes paid for the 1978 tax
year. I voted in favor of the
bill, HB 2186, as it passed the
House by a 57 to 3 margin.
The House package would
not only provide relief for
income taxpayers, but income
tax brackets, the personal
exemption and the standard
deduction would all increase
at the rate of inflation, thus
reducing its bite on income.
The plan, as I see it, is a

compromise but a good com
promise which I can support.
At least it's a plan which
people of District 55 can study
and evaluate.
Many legislators expressed
the concern that permanently
linking the brackets to infla
tion could, after five or six
years, severely deplete state
revenues, thereby threatening
the funding of schools, tax
relief and state programs. The
consensus of the House, which
I opposed, was to allow the
1981 Legislature the opportun

ity to continue the indexing of
the tax brackets should it
believe it to be economically
feasible to do so.
The bill, HB 2589, which
provides a break from infla
tion received a 58 to 2 vole of
approval. I also voted in favor
of this bill which provides tax
relief totaling an estimated
$115 million. Under the prop
erty tax relief portion of the
plan, more than $353 million is
allocated to aid property tax
payers. All homeowners
would receive a 30 per cent cut
in their property taxes. Rent
ers would receive equivalent
relief on the portion of rent
they pay for property taxes
with the maximum renter
relief set at $375. These were
provisions which I supported.
The bill, HB 2540, extends to
provide relief to property
tax payers. The Home Owner
and Renter Relief Program
would be beefed up to account
for inflation by allowing
persons who earn less than
$17,500 per year to qualify for
relief. The" bulk of HARRP

on low and fixed incomes.
Ninety-five per cent of those
earning $8,000 per year-or less
would pay no property taxes.
Again I voted favorably on
this bill and it passed the
House 54 to 6.
Legislators supported this
measure because it would 1
allow voters to fund schools at
the same level as the previous
year and still reject spending
increases. The threat of school
closures has been known to
influence voters to approve
spending increases that might
otherwise have been defeated.
Presently, voters can only
approve or reject the entire
operating levy. This measure,
if enacted, would give voters
more-latitude over increases
in local spending.
