Morrow County s Home-Owned Newspaper
The Heppner
Representative Ray French an
nounced today he w ill file for re
election to ihe Oregon legislature
from District 39
First elected in 1984. French has
served two terms in the House o f
Reprewntatives As a member o f the
Water Policy Committee. French
has been able to represent Eastern
Oregon interests He Icels this is an
important issue because o f Ihe vast
ly different needs and conditions o f
Eastern ( )regon as opposed to those
o f the W illamette Valiev
French went on to point out what
he believed is shaping up to be a key
issue in the coming election year, live
spending limit He stated that he w ill
continue to support a lid on the
growth ol state spending despite the
recent announcement that Governor
Goldschmidt intends to seek repeal
ot the lim it at the next legislative
session
“ I believe the current growth in
spending authority o f $330 m illion
to $41X) m illion is more than ade
quate to cover the needs o f state
government" said French
The state general fund budget in
creased $380 m illion (12*3 ) for the
1987 1989 heinmum
Alter spending two sessions in the
state legislature. French noted that
basic school support is funded near
the end o f the session He
this priority should be changed and
schools would become one o f the
first priorities to be dealt with by the
legislature
French continued "w e can
the need for the more state aid to
local schools- and local tax
•within the spending lim it The
governor's budget provided only a
331 boost in school support, while
pmviding 15% to state agency
bureaucracies and 60% more for his
own office staff ”
I believe most Oregonians would
.i •
, *
agree the state government should
live within its means. |ust as tax
payers must d o ," said French.
“ With thecconomv just getting turn
ed around in Oregon, it is counter-
pntductive to break the spending
limit with increased spending and in
creased taxes "
One often overlooked economic
effect for the state spending lim it is
to keep state spending from dropp
ing precipitously when the economy
turns down, thus cushioning state
programs, likewise, the lim it does
not rise as soon as recovers occurs,
this protecting the- recovery from im
mediate increases in state taxes or
spending
“ The spending lim it protects the
economy, state programs, and the
taxpaver. and next legislature should
recognize that (act rather give in to
the special interests seeking to break
the spending lim it lor their own pet
projects," said French
believes

acres in Gresham where they arc
currently planting 7,IK)0 Christmas
trees fhev eventually plan to start
W'ilbur doesn't like to be recogni/
ed for the many things he does in the
community, he would rather the
credit be given to others He "ju st
likes to see things get done and likes
to keep busy
His grandmother, he
feels, is responsible lor his interest
in keeping busy She always told him
“ you can do anything you want to
d o ." “ II you want to sit around and
feel sorry for yourself and worry
about your aches and pains, go ahead
but don't expect anyone to led sorry
for you " W ilbur reflected that he
has been very lucky to have his
health and hopes things continue that
way
Wilbur and Don>thy have relatives

Allstott and Virginia Peck’s sister
Wilbur is a cousin to Harold Snider
After this interview, W ilbur got on
his red four wheeler with his dog
