"Main Street businessmen
have much to gain by support­
ing Gov. McCall’s tax-relief
and school-finance program,”
according to the statewide
chairman of the campaign to
pass the measure on May 1.
John Piacentini, Portland re­
tailer who operates the Plaid
Pantry food markets, pointed
out that the new tax program
abolishes the business inven­
tory tsulP*
“Eliminating the inventory
tax, plus shifting the tax bur­
den to support schools from
the property tax to the ability-
to-pay principle, means that
about 90 percent of all Main
Street business firms in Ore­
gon will benefit under the tax­
relief
program," Piacentini
said.
"Personally, I will probably
pay more total taxes under the
new plan, but I have no hesi­
tation in supporting it, since
it is probably the most equi­
table tax program ever offered
to the people of Oregon.”
Piacentini, who has been
speaking in support of the tax
program in cities around the
state, said that he sees strong
the
grass-roots support of
tax-relief program.
“Once people understand the
basic idea behind the plan,”
he said, “they realize (hat the
new program is to their bene­
fit, since it will mean a total
tax savings to 8 out of 10
Oregonians,” Piacentini said.
"Opponents of the plan are
trying to confuse Oregonians
about the measure in hopes of
getting them to vote against
it. That’s why we are urging
people to study their Voters’
Pamphlet to see how the plan
will affect their own tax lia­
bility. They’ll see that a yes
vote is in their own best in­
terests, as well as in the best
interests of the whole state.”
Piacentini explained that the
plan ffaiecally eliminates the

money, the result for 80 per­
cent of Oregonians is that they
will receive more back in pro­
perty-tax relief than they will
pay in other taxes," Piacen­
tini said.
“The plan will benefit most
merchants through abolition of
the Inventory tax, and will give
property-tax relief to renters
for the first time in Oregon's
history."
Renters, Piacentini said, will
be able to subtract 9 percent of
their yearly rent from their
state income tax returns.
“But the main beneficiaries
if the measure passes," he said,
"will be the school children of
Oregon, since they will be assu­
red of a sure financial footing
for their education.”

Hansell, a long term mem­
ber of the powerful Ways and
Means Committee, said he se­
riously questioned the fiscal
integrity of the McCall Plan
and reasserted the plan would
put Oregon on a "collision
course with chaos.”
He said, "It is funded with
six months of over-taxation,
it uses three years of federal
revenue sharing in a two-year
period, it uses a total of $171
million of one-time revenue,
never again to be available."
Such fiscal planning, he said,
meant a "deficit in the destiny"
of Oregon.
Hansell also outlined other,
"more responsible" alterna­
tive plans "waiting and ready
to go in case this is defeated.”
He said the Newbry-Hansell

Milton Sheldon, chairman of

“Under the plan,” he said,
