30-126 is not about kids
Measure
M easure 30-126
OSU says this measure will help children in 4-H. What they are really doing is pushing the costs of
the "rural farm extensive service" onto the taxpayers of Pendleton and Hermiston. They've been
playing the "kid card" for years to shift their burden onto the backs of taxpayers in 25 other counties.
In 2012, they convinced Malheur County to take on a heavy tax assessment- now they've come to
Umatilla County for even more! This isn't a temporary levy.
IN PERPETUITY= FOREVER TAX
Measure 30-126 would add a tax of 33 cents per $1000 of your assessed home value. For a modest
house, that's another $50 every year without providing you or your family any real benefit. And they
are asking a LOT more of UmatilJa County. The average extension tax in other counties is less
than a third of what OSU is asking from us. And they're willing to spend a lot on slick brochures,
lawn signs, and big ads to talk you into it.
YOU ALREADY PAY FOR 4-H
OSU Extension does not fund 4-H clubs, after-school services and year-round lunches - they
just "facilitate" these services. The money comes from your federal taxes, fees paid by parents, and
fund-raising activities. 4-H leaders are volunteers. Student scholarships come from industry sponsors
like John Deere, Farm Credit Lenders, and Wilbur Ellis - those aren't going away and have nothing to
do with this tax measure. OSU claims to put 4-H first. In fact, a very small percentage will go to 4-H
to pay for a coordinator.
HERE'S THE REAL STORY ...
OSU Extension Service is top heavy in management and branch offices. Extension is losing funding
from the State of Oregon and from Ag businesses such as Dow and Monsanto. Wages, PERS and
health care costs grow, but Extension's revenue is decreasing. What to do? Shift the funding to city
taxpayers - specifically those who live in Hermiston and Pendleton. People who live in cities
rarely need these services.
Most of us will NEVER will use any of these services. These days even our county farmers can
easily go online to find most of the s;ame information provided by Extension.

BOARD CERTIFIED GENERAL SURGEON
Yes, our kids are important - let families decide the best use of their own money instead of putting it
in the pocket of a bloated agency that will spend very little on the children they claim to support.
Oregon is the 2 nd highest taxed state in the nation, only behind California. UMATILLA COUNTY'S TAX
RATE IS THE 2 ND HIGHEST IN THE STATE. only behind Linn County.
