Seventy-fifth Oregon Legislative Assembly
Encyclopedia
The seventy-fifth Oregon Legislative Assembly convened beginning on , for its biennial regular session. All of the 60 seats in the House of Representatives
and half of the 30 seats in the State Senate
were up for election in 2008; the general election for those seats
took place on .
Democrats
took control of the Senate in the 2004 elections, and of the House in the 2006 elections. The Senate
had been controlled by Republicans
since 1997 and the House
since 1990. Many Republican legislators resigned or declined to run for reelection in 2008. Democrats lost one seat in the Senate, and gained five in the House.
The Republican House caucus released an agenda for the 2009 session; priorities included improving economic growth, bringing accountability to state government
, improving the state's education system, extending health care and extending in-home care for seniors, enhancing public safety, and managing natural resources.
House Majority Leader Dave Hunt
(D–Gladstone
) responded to the agenda in July 2008, characterizing it as a departure from the failed policies of the George W. Bush administration
, and stating that the problems Republicans seek to solve resulted from 14 years of Republican leadership. The House Democrats also released an agenda for 2009.
The legislature, in its 2009 regular session, worked to close a budget shortfall brought on by the economic recession. Work on the budget will continue in 2010. One critical factor in the legislature's work is the fact that Democrats hold three fifths of the seats in each chamber, theoretically providing the three-fifths supermajority
support required by the Oregon Constitution
for bills to increase revenue.
In the effort to balance the budget, bills were passed to raise income taxes on corporations and wealthy individuals and households. This is expected to raise US$733 million in revenue over the next two years, which is meant to lessen the need to make spending cuts to state services and programs.
Opponents led an effort to force a statewide referendum on these increases, which appeared as Measures 66 and 67
on the special election ballot. They were both passed by voters and will take effect .
requires the Legislative Assembly to hold regular sessions once every two years,
but the body can hold special sessions called by either the governor or the body itself. Only four other states' legislatures hold regular sessions every other year: Montana
, Nevada
, North Dakota
, and Texas. Until November 2008, Arkansas
was the sixth state.
In recent years, the Legislative Assembly has considered switching from biennial to annual regular sessions, as recommended by the Public Commission on the Oregon Legislature
. To test the idea, the 74th legislature called itself into a special session in 2008, calling it a "supplemental" session to the regular one in 2007.
Likewise, the current legislative body will hold a supplemental session in 2010, expected to start and to last four weeks.
Among other tasks, the legislature plans to refer a ballot measure to voters to amend the state constitution to permanently change to annual sessions.
A ballot measure is required because all constitutional amendments must be approved by voters.
The legislature also plans to refer a constitutional amendment to voters to redirect tax rebate
funds into a state reserve, or "rainy day," fund.
The bills cleared the Joint Ways and Means Committee on ,
and the House passed them .
Representative Mike Schaufler
(D–Happy Valley
) broke with Democrats and voted against both bills, but Rep. Greg Smith
(R–Heppner
) supported HB 2649, and Rep. Bob Jenson
(R–Pendleton
) voted for both bills. On , despite expectations that the bills would pass the Senate as easily as they did the House, they "crashed in dramatic fashion"
when Senator Mark Hass
(D–Beaverton
), believing the proposed tax increases should be temporary, joined Republicans and voted against HB 3405. Because no Republicans supported the bill, all 18 Democrats were needed to pass the bill, but Hass's rejection left only 17 votes of approval. The Senate tabled both bills and started negotiations. On , after Hass promised his support of both bills if some revenue from the corporate tax increases were added to the rainy day fund, the Senate voted again and passed both bills.
Governor Ted Kulongoski
signed them , over a month later.
Opponents of these tax increases said they would worsen Oregon's economy, and they led an effort to force a statewide referendum on these increases.
Measures 66 and 67
qualified for the ballot on , and voters passed both measures on , less than a week before the legislature planned to hold a special session to continue to work on the budget.
Electoral fusion
was made possible in Oregon with Senate Bill 326, allowing candidates to list a maximum of three party endorsements on their ballot line.
This used to be legal in Oregon until 1958. Some have called this plan "fusion light"
to contrast it with electoral fusion as practiced in states like New York, where each candidate gets a ballot line for each party that endorses them. SB 326 also repealed a 2005 law preventing voters who already participated in a party's nominating process from signing an independent candidate
's nomination petition for a partisan office.
The 2005 law was a response to Ralph Nader
's 2004 US presidential
candidacy
as an independent, raising concerns among Democrats that similar candidates would hurt their chances of being elected.
The law drew criticism when Ben Westlund
, then an independent member of the state Senate
, ran for governor in 2006
. He had to wait until after the primary election to start his campaign and verify that the voters who signed his petition hadn't voted in any party's primary.
. Instead of sending surplus revenue back to taxpayers as tax rebates, Kulongoski wants surplus revenue to be directed to a state savings account first, commonly described as a "rainy day fund," to help the state balance its budgets during future recessions. House Speaker Hunt said the legislature will focus on jobs, and said kicker reform is "certainly not on the list of definitive things we plan to accomplish."
is composed of 18 Democrats and 12 Republicans. In the last elections, the Democratic Party lost one seat: District 27, in the Bend
area. Democrat Ben Westlund
, a former Republican, left that seat to seek the statewide Oregon State Treasurer
office in the same elections. Despite the loss, the Democrats maintained a three-fifths supermajority in the chamber.

In the effort to balance the budget, House Bills 2639 and 3405 were passed, raising taxes on corporations, and on wealthy individuals and households, respectively. HB 3405 replaced the corporate minimum tax of $10, paid by two thirds of corporations in Oregon, with a sliding scale: At the bottom of the scale, corporations with sales under $500,000 in Oregon will pay $150; at the top, corporations with sales over $100 million will pay $100,000. Corporate income greater than $250,000 will be taxed 7.9 percent for two years, then 7.6 percent afterwards. Corporate income below this threshold will be taxed 6.6 percent. Under HB 2639, taxable income greater than $125,000 for individuals and $250,000 for joint filers will pay a rate of 10.8 percent for the next three years, up from 9 percent; after that, the rate drops to 9.9 percent. Also, income higher than $250,000 for individuals and $500,000 for households will be taxed at 11 percent.
