|
|
|
060 |
Sen. Corcoran |
MOTION: MOVES SB 819 TO THE SENATE
FLOOR WITH A DO PASS AS AMENDED RECOMMENDATION. |
|
|
|
|
|
064 |
Sen. Ferrioli |
States that he supports SB 819, but
expresses concern that it is going to the floor while SB 747 is going to Ways
and Means. Discusses federal timber dollars and refers members to letter from
Congress regarding federal timber funds. Exhibit 1. |
|
|
|
|
|
093 |
Sen. Corcoran |
States that he supports leaving the
school funding formula alone even if it meant putting the federal timber
money back into the fund in the same proportion. |
|
|
|
|
|
101 |
Sen. Ringo |
Objects to the notion that SB 819 is
related to SB 747 because SB 747 is taking federal money and not providing a
local option. |
|
|
|
|
|
115 |
Sen. Starr |
States that he doesn’t see any similarity
between SB 819 and SB 747 because one provides a local community option to
raise taxes, while the other would take money out of many local school
districts. |
|
|
|
|
|
126 |
Sen. Ferrioli |
Agrees that there is no direct
connection and that is why he is supporting SB 819. Discusses why SB 747
deserves support and suggests that obtaining federal funds was a local
initiative similar to a local option. |
|
|
|
|
|
154 |
Sen. Hannon |
States that he wishes people wanting
a local option would aggressively be trying to repeal measure 5. Asserts that
the committee has turned the school funding issue into a rural vs. urban
problem when they should be looking at the state as a whole. |
|
|
|
|
|
205 |
Sen. Deckert |
Responds that ultimately he hopes the
committee will come to a grand solution on the education funding problem that
is statewide and comprehensive. |
|
|
|
|
|
225 |
Sen. Deckert |
ORDER: ROLL CALL VOTE: MOTION
PASSES: 6-0-0. SENATORS ANSWERING AYE: CORCORAN,
HANNON, RINGO, STARR, FERRIOLI, DECKERT. Sen. Devlin will carry the bill on
the Senate Floor. |
OPENS WORK SESSION ON SB 747
|
230 |
Meyer |
Explains SB 747, which would take
the increase in federal timber funds since 2000-2001 and distribute it
outside the formula to local districts. |
|
|
|
|
|
245 |
Sen. Ferrioli |
Compares SB 747 to an income tax in
metropolitan areas. |
|
|
|
|
|
262 |
Sen. Starr |
States that the difference between
SB 747 and the income tax in Multnomah County is that Multnomah County is not
taking money away from other districts.
Asserts that the legislature should be asking the question whether all
money raised outside the funding formula should be put in the pot. |
|
|
|
|
|
300 |
Sen. Ferrioli |
Points out that rural communities
defeated Measure 5 and states that they need to be looking more broadly at
the formula issue which is why SB 747 should be sent to Ways and Means. |
|
|
|
|
|
333 |
Sen. Deckert |
States that he is going to vote no
on SB 747 because of the content of the bill and that he hopes to find a
statewide solution. |

|
380 |

|
|
|

|
|
|
