Senate President and HO P House and Senate leaders respectively, hewed steadfastly to their pre session scenario methodically tackling major issues and largely avoiding politics for its own sake Highest on everyone's agenda was resolution of the revenue reform school finance issue twin problem* that have confounded pr«t«e*.v>r Assemblies and left the last Assembly in utter shambles after struggling vainly with them for IRS days in regular session and 21 in special session This Assemblv succeeded in crafting what is considered a truly unique package in only 13 weeks a proposal that if approved by voters in September will stabilize school finance, provide significant property and income lax relief and effectively limit future growth of both taxes and spending A second major goal involved balancing the biennial budget without continuing temporary tax increases levied during the recession to avoid eniav dialing government services this too was accomplish«! largely by raising sin taxes in order to discontinue the high impact 8 percent tax surcharge Other goals were establishment of an «'onomic development strategy , allocation of lottery revenue i companion issue» , health care cost containment, water policy and legislative reform Most observers believe solid progress was made in favor of economic development largely with lottery revenue But attempts to resolve the thr«- other issue* turned out to be learning experiences that may help the 64th Assembly solve them two years hence Thai it accomplished as much as it did in a relatively short period of time is aflrihut«! largely to the spirit of cooperation that was this Assembly's hallmark Shorter than any session since 1975. it considered only about 2.200 measures and agreed to pass about 40 percent lb-cause of the foregoing, It gels good marks from those closest to the process Whether the public concurs is another matter Kven at adjournment, as pro and con sale* tax forces began flexing campaign muscle, there was little to indicate voters yoat comprehend that proposal enough to approve it at the polls The biennial Eudget -swollen by hefty pay increases for virtually all sUte workers and elect«! officials including lawmakers may not sell too well with constituents in many areas »till plagued by recession s business closures and unemployment Mill others may smart when they discover property tax relief checks will dwindle to a paltry $100 or less and maybe vanish altogether before the biennium ends But those are the risks that go with the job of sticking out one s neck and attempting to do what is preceived to be the greatest good for the greatest number Although endorded by those directly involved in the I.egtslature's efforts, the constituent Jury is still out and will remain sequestered for about three more months The first solid indication of their attitude will be delivered in the hours immediately following closure of the polls following the sales tax election September 17 The next will occur next May And the final verdict remains as always - the outcome of voting in the next general election when members are selected to serve in Oregon's 64th Lrgislatilve Assembly NEW DEALERSHIP '\ ( 0 Husqya.rna The Chain Saw Professionals GREEN FEED a proud to announce they are now dealers for| the HU9QVARNA CHAIN SAW S Slop by and look them over -----USED CHAIN SAW SPECIALS M c C u llo c h M ln l-M a c 1 * $40 240 - $150 1 $6 5 360 - $100 360 - $50 130 $110 Brand New Jonsereds 630 28” Bar Reg. 500“* Special Gospel Sons to give concert Scotchguard 5 year warranty V N LOCATED BETWEEN THE COUNTRY ROSE Come in and look over the new Philadelphia lines.
