REFERRED TO THE PEOPLE BY THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY
1. Should we pass a 5% sales tax for public schools with these restrictions?
• The 5 % rate can only be raised by a statewide vote of the people. The legislature could not increase the rate.
• The sales tax moneys raised would be dedicated to public schools, including kindergartens and community colleges.
This dedication cannot be changed without a statewide vote of the people.
• School property taxes on owner-occupied homes would be abolished. Sales tax moneys would replace the school pro
perty taxes on owner-occupied homes.
• The sales tax would be on goods only, not services.
• The sales tax could not be imposed on food for home consumption, housing, water, light, heat, power, prescription
medicine, motor fuel, essential services, and farm animals, feed, seed, and fertilizer. These exemptions could not be
changed by the legislature. They can only be changed by a statewide vote of the people.
• Cities, counties, and other local governments cannot impose a sales tax.
• Working families, with children, earning less than $24,000 a year would receive an earned income credit on their
income tax.
• Low income households would receive a refund of some or all of the sales tax they would pay.
• The corporate income tax rate would be increased from 6.6% to 7.6%.
• The measure imposes a new constitutional state spending limit, restricting the legislature’s spending authority.
• At least half of lottery proceeds would be used for education and the needs of Oregon’s children. Currently lottery
money must be used for economic development.
• The sales tax for schools would be imposed on a trial basis. The tax and all other provisions would stop in 1999 unless
we vote to continue them at the 1998 general election.
