No New Taxes without Vote of the People!

– End the era of letting politicians and lobbyists decide our taxes behind closed doors, by requiring a public vote on new local taxes! Oregon has a 110 year-old tradition that gives voters a voice at the ballot box on important issues.
Letting voters decide on important tax decisions will increase transparency and accountability on tax increases in Oregon. The enclosed petition gives voters the right to vote on local tax & fee increases.

Oregon Legislature's high-speed annual session draws fire!!

SALEM – Maybe it’s the influence of the recent Winter Olympics, but listening to the hallway chatter about Oregon’s annual legislative sessions is like channeling Nancy Kerrigan after her 1994 knee-whacking. Complaints about the additional even-year meeting have increased as the session winds down, with the overriding concern that the hurry-up schedule could cause bad legislation to slip through. "We've had entirely new policy concepts introduced," said Alan Tresidder, a veteran lobbyist with State Street Solutions. "If you look at the Voters’ Pamphlet statement and what was said about annual sessions, it wasn't any of this stuff. We're dealing with stuff all over the map." Tresidder isn’t the only one who has soured on what was supposed to be the Legislature’s big move toward greater relevance. Other lobbyists talk about the session as though it’s one big political rally for the upcoming election season. A Republican leader described it as "a political free-for-all" and said the compact timeline shortchanges Oregonians, especially those outside the Portland-Eugene corridor, on meaningful participation.

Deadlines put squeeze on Oregon lawmakers to finish, despite hefty to-do list!!

SALEM -- With apologies to George Orwell, some deadlines are more equal than others, at least at the Oregon Legislature. By law, legislators must wrap up their 35-day session by Sunday, March 9, or find the supermajority of votes to extend it. But a more prominent deadline is making Republicans squirm and Democrats take notice. The annual Dorchester Conference, which attracts a big swath of GOP elected officials, kicks off Friday night and lasts through the weekend. With only days left, lawmakers are struggling with some hefty bills, ranging from the future of class action legal settlements in the state to regulation of medical marijuana shops. And there are still budgets to be balanced, and a decision on whether to authorize $200 million in bonds to expand cancer research at Oregon Health & Science University.

Tim McMenamin For State Representative HD 41 Sellwood, Moreland, Milwaukie, Oak Grove, Errol Heights.

Oregonians share a common desire to enjoy the natural beauty and abundant resources with which we are blessed and to participate in a growing economy marked by innovation and stability. As the father of three beautiful children, I am especially focused on leaving a better Oregon for future generations. As your State Representative, I will work to promote job growth and long-term economic stability. Regulations should guide, not restrict, and tax policy should encourage, not discourage, entrepreneurial risk-taking and small business creation.
