Help me out, here. Exactly what job creation did the Oregon legislature accomplish in the last session?

Mr. Twietmeyer:
Exactly how much more will be you paying in corporate taxes?
Even after the passage of Measures 66 & 67, Oregon will have the LOWEST corporate tax rates on the West Coast and the fifth LOWEST in America. Now we can prevent further cuts to the schools, community colleges, universities, workforce development, transportation, public safety, and courts on which Oregon businesses depend.
It will also enable our February legislative session to stay focused on job creation (continuing the job-creating laws we passed last year on transportation, health care, affordable housing, renewable energy, capital construction, etc.) and helping Oregon families who have been hit particularly hard by this global recession — rather than piling on additional cuts in critical services.
Thank you for sharing your perspective. I look forward to hearing back from you about the specifics of your new taxes.
Dave Hunt
State Representative
Speaker of the House
