The Voters'Pamphlet is the most direct and complete source of information on candidates and issues in our state. I encourage you to use this document as a resource to help you make thoughtful, informed " decisions as you vote. Remember:the ballot you cast in May will affect all of our lives and the future of our state. The May 2002 election will be Oregon's second statewide primary conducted entirely by mail.Two years ff ago, a total of over 900,000 Oregonians cast ballots in the first vote-by-mail Primary.The high turnout 1 during the 2000 Primary reversed a steady twenty-year decline in the number of Oregonians casting Primary Election ballots. In fact, it represented a 16 percent increase over the highest number of votes ever cast in a polling place Primary Election. This year, I challenge Oregon to do even better.The nation is experiencing a disturbing decline in voter participation, particularly among young people.We stand the risk of losing a whole generation of voters. You have the power to guarantee that does not happen, and to change Oregon for the better. • If you have never registered to vote, are at least 18 years old, and are a U.S.citizen, seize this opportunity to make your voice heard and help shape the future of our state. • if you are registered to vote and have not voted recently, or are not excited about the choices available to you this election, remember that your vote is the best way to have an effect on who runs for office and what measures are put on ballots and enacted into law. • If you regularly vote and will do so this election, please take the time to share with others the reasons you vote and encourage them to vote too. I give you this challenge in the firm belief that WE, the people, ARE the government.The government is what we make of it. If we are not happy with the policies or priorities of those now making the decisions, we have the power and the responsibility to redirect government to match our needs.You have the power to change our government with your voice—and you have the power to change our world with your vote. Sincerely, Bill Bradbury Secretary of State P.S.You will notice that the ballot measures contained in this document are numbered 10, 11 and 13. This is not an error;the original Measure 12 was a legislative referral that was removed from the ballot at the request of the legislature and by order of the Marion County Circuit Court.

Bonds issued under this section may not be paid from ad valorem property taxes. 14 CONTINUED Official 2002 Primary Election Voters'Pamphlet—Statewide Measures Measure No. 11 EXPLANATORY STATEMENT Ballot Measure 11 amends the Oregon Constitution by adding an Article relating to the Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU). Currently,the Oregon Constitution limits the amount of debt for which the state may be generally obligated.This limitation applies to the issuance of bonds for which the repayment would be a general obligation of the state. The measure creates an exception to the constitutional debt limitation for general obligation bonds issued to finance the capi- tal costs of OHSU.Bond proceeds may not be used to finance the operating costs of OHSU. The measure limits the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the bonds to no more than one-half of one percent of the real market value of property in the state. The measure limits the amount of net proceeds that may be produced from the bonds to $200 million. The measure provides that the bonds may be repaid from revenues raised from taxes, the tobacco Master Settlement Agreement and other sources of revenues.The measure prohibits the state from imposing an ad valorem property tax to raise revenue for repayment of the bonds. If this measure passes,the State Treasurer is directed by law to issue general obligation bonds that would obtain net proceeds not to exceed $200 million to finance the capital costs of the Oregon Opportunity program, created by OHSU to develop statewide medical research and biotechnology opportunities. If this measure does not pass,the State Treasurer is directed by law to issue revenue bonds that would obtain net proceeds not to exceed $165 million to finance capital and limited non-capital costs of the Oregon Opportunity program. However, these rev- enue bonds would be payable solely from tobacco settlement funds and would carry a higher rate of interest than state general obligation bonds. If this measure passes the authority to issue these revenue bonds is repealed.

He is counting on us to continue to spread his message across the state of Oregon and to win Oregon in 2004. Precinct committeemen and committeewomen are the grassroots representatives of the Republican Party in Oregon. Precinct Committee Persons(PCPs)"put a face"on the party in their neighborhoods and communities,attend regular meetings of their county Republican central committee–helping to set the party agenda in the county–and help to spread the Republican message at the local level. As a PCP you have a voice in selecting Republican Party leadership in your county,the state and nationally-you may even seek a leadership position yourself.County leaders help select the state party leaders who in turn participate on the Republican National Committee and elect the national party leaders. PCPs are often called on by Republican candidates to help with grassroots campaigning.You may be asked to"walk"your precinct with a candidate,introducing the candidate to friends and neighbors.Or,you may be asked to distribute campaign materials.You will become the Republican Party in your community. As you work to spread the Republican message and elect Republicans to office,please keep in mind the following accomplishments of Republicans who have consistently fought for the rights of every citizen. • 1872 "The first official recognition of women in a major party platform..." • 1884 Promotes the eight-hour workday , • 1916 The first major party to endorse the right of women to vote. • 1940 Platform includes a call to racially integrate the armed forces. • 1953 President Eisenhower appoints the first women, as Secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare and US Ambassador to Italy,a major power.They are Oveta C Hobby and Clare B.Luce, respectively. • 1954 Supreme Court declares segregation illegal.Eisenhower integrates Washington DC schools. • 1964 Civil Rights Act basically suspends the use of literacy tests and other devices aimed to keep blacks from voting.It passes the House with 85%of Republicans voting yes. • 1981 Reagan tax cut of 25%. • 1994 Representatives Newt Gingrich and Dick Armey's"Contract with America"-bold plan that led to a balanced budget and welfare reform. This fall, Oregon Republicans will work to retain and extend our majorities in both chambers of the Oregon Legislature, send new Republican representatives to the United States Congress, reelect Senator Gordon Smith, elect a Republican Superintendent of Public Instruction and elect a Republican Governor.PCPs will have key roles in bringing about these victories. While Republican precinct persons are encouraged to support the candidates of their choice in the primary election, it is expected that PCPs–as representatives of the party–during the general election will support all Republican candidates receiving the party's nomination. If you would like more information about the Oregon Republican Party, or would like to be more involved with the GOP in Oregon, please call our state party headquarters at (503) 587-9233. You may send e-mail to info@orgpp.orb or visit our website at www.oraoo.ora Perry Atkinson Chairman,Oregon Republican Party PO Box 789,Salem,OR 97308 Remember... You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage-earner by pulling down the wage-payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

The bonds will mature over a period of not more than 15 years. EXPLANATORY STATEMENT The Central Oregon Community College Board of Direc- tors has placed on this ballot a measure to seek approval to fund construction of new buildings and renovations of existing facilities.The Board bases its request on the College Master Plan, developed over the past two years, in consultation with faculty,staff,students,community members and local and state officials.This plan takes into account the enrollment growth over the past decades,the arrival of the OSU-Cascades Cam- pus,and projected population and enrollment growth in com- ing years. In the past 25 years, the College has had only one bond issue added to the tax roles, for the new library. During that time, enrollment has nearly tripled. Since 1994, when the li- brary bond issue was approved,enrollment is up 43 percent. If approved,proceeds from the sale of bonds will pay for the following planned projects: - A Science/Allied Health building.Science labs at COCC are at capacity.In addition,several new programs have been added in health-related areas such as Emergency Medical Services,medical assisting and dental assist- ing which need the science labs and their own labs to serve students.

SUMMARY:Amends the Bend City Charter to require that certain new taxes and certain tax increases would be ef- fective only if approved by the majority of votes cast at a s city wide election. Direct sales taxes would be subject to I the voter approval requirement. The measure does not apply to fees or charges imposed by the City for services or products provided by the City;building permit charges or system development charges;franchise fees including but not limited to cable,utility,and telecommunication fran- chise fees;and any other fee or charge which is unrelated 3� € to the sale of goods or services to the public by the City. ... The measure does not apply to real estate tax rates, as increases in property tax rates are already subject to voter approval.Taxes and tax increases approved by the City prior to January 1, 2002, shall not be subject to the voter 'J approval requirement.This Amendment to the Bend City Charter can be approved by a simple majority of the votes ` cast. EXPLANATORY STATEMENT If approved by voters, this measure would amend the City of Bend Charter of 1995 to require that directly imposed sales taxes and sales tax increases,including increases to the City's Transient Room Tax, would require approval by the voters of Bend before they could be effective and enforced. 5 Under the present law,the Bend City Council has the authority -s =x to adopt and enforce sales taxes without the approval of the voters.The approval of this ballot measure requires that new <_ sales taxes and increases to the city's Transient Room Tax be approved by the voters. In December 2001 the City Council adopted an ordinance that provides for the phased increase of the Transient Room Tax to �£ 8.5% on July 1, 2002 and 9% on July 1, 2003.The phased °z s increase of the Transient Room Tax approved in that ordinance is not subject to this ballot measure.Future increases to the 9%rate effective July 2003 will be subject to the voter approval requirement if the voters approved this ballot measure. r This measure merely establishes the voter approval require- ment for new sales taxes and increases in present sales taxes. The measure does not propose the adoption of any new taxes nor the increase in any existing tax. The ballot measure does not apply to building, land use or - other fees or charges for City services or products; system ' development charges; franchise fees; and any other fee or "s <" charge which is related to the sale of goods or services to the public by the City.Increases in property tax rates are presently m ;.. required to be approved by voters.The passage or defeat of this measure will not affect that requirement. r The Bend City Council adopted a resolution referring this ques- tion to the voters of Bend on December 5,2001.
