                        2019 Legislative Report - Week 15
                        Monday, May 6, 2019
                        We think that things will start getting more interesting now that the major $2.8 billion business tax passed the House 37-21. Read more

                        Monday, April 29, 2019
                        Negotiations are underway on what a "go home" package of legislation would be for legislative Democrats who hold strong majorities in the legislature. Read more

                        Monday, April 22, 2019
                        From a business perspective, the 2019 session can be distilled into four primary categories. Read more

                        Monday, April 15, 2019
                        The second half of the 2019 session is now underway. Read more
                        2019 Legislative Report - Week 11
                        Monday, April 8, 2019
                        By Tuesday, April 9th, all bills need to be voted out of their original committee in order to survive. This is the turning point of the session. Priorities get whittled down and the playing field becomes clearer as extraneous legislation falls by the wayside. We will know much more on Wednesday morning as committees will work into the evening up until the very last moments on Tuesday evening. Read more
                        2019 Legislative Report - Week 10
                        Monday, April 1, 2019
                        We've passed the first major deadline of the 2019 legislative session. Bills needed to have been scheduled for committee votes by the end of this past Friday in order to stay alive. By Tuesday, April 9th, all bills need to actually be voted out of their original committee in order to survive. At this point, it looks like about half of all legislation is now dead. Read more
                        2019 Legislative Report - Week 9
                        Monday, March 25, 2019
                        The next two-and-a-half weeks will be the toughest weeks of the session. Looming deadlines mean that all 3,000 of the bills currently introduced will be in play as advocates rush to meet deadlines that mean life or death for their legislation. Read more
                        2019 Legislative Report - Week 8
                        Monday, March 18, 2019
                        This is the week that Senate President Peter Courtney is slated to return to the legislature from his 10-day 'medical leave.' Many have speculated that President Courtney will take the opportunity to step away from leadership and the legislature, but we have no reason to believe this is the case. We expect him to return.

                        Oregon's proposed Gross Receipts Tax is more damaging than proposed Value-Added Tax
                        Thursday, March 14, 2019
                        We want to update you on the tax discussions that are taking place now. The Joint Student Success Committee (Revenue Subcommittee) is considering various options to raise $2 billion per biennium from the business community for K-12 and other education initiatives. Read more
                        2019 Legislative Report - Week 7
                        Monday, March 11, 2019
                        What a week! First off, Senate President Peter Courtney takes a 10-day 'medical leave' to deal with the stress of the session and its impact on his Grave's Disease. There is wide speculation that he may not return. We aren't able to separate fact from fiction at this point, so our assumption is that he will return. If he does not return, the trajectory of the session and the Democrats' ability to pass major progressive legislative priorities is certainly imperiled. Read more
