Revenue Forecast Executive Summary Economists are on recession watch. The combination of slower economic growth, high inflation, and rising interest rates has historically been problematic. That said, despite the crosscurrents in the economic data so far this year, the U.S. economy is unlikely to have entered into a recession. Employment and industrial production continue to grow. Personal income and consumer spending are rising quickly but struggling to outpace the fastest inflation the U.S. has experienced since the early 1980s. While this may be reassuring today, the risks to the outlook are real. Inflation remains the key issue. Even as headline inflation slows in the months ahead, the underlying inflation trend is likely to remain above the Federal Please see REVENUE, Page A9

Oregon Revenue Forecast: $3.5 billion kicker
Photos by David Rupkalvis/The World Habitat for Humanity built these homes as part of a 16-home development on property in the Empire District of Coos Bay
The latest Oregon Revenue Forecast shows the projected personal kicker is $3.5 billion, which will be credited to taxpayers when they file their returns in Spring 2024. The projected corporate kicker is $1.1 billion, which will be retained for educationalOverall,spending.theforecast shows the state will see an estimated $600 million in additional surging tax revenues.Thereport by the Oregon Department of Administrative Service issued Aug. 31 to Oregon ‘s legislators, also comes with a warning about a national recession.“Therisks are real. The outlook is essentially a coin flip between the soft landing and a recession,” the state revenue forecast’s economic outlook states.Governor Kate Brown issued the following statement about the state’s September revenue forecast: “Thanks to the fiscally responsible decisions the State of Oregon has made over the last several years, we are well positioned with significant reserves to weather any economic challenges that lie ahead. Now, we must continue to make investments to benefit Oregon’s working families, so that all Oregonians can feel the benefits of our strong economic recovery.
The World Over the last 30 years, the local Habitat for Humanity chapter has built 29 homes for some of the most needy members of the community. But in the coming months, Habitat will do something it has never done before - build a duplex.Jesse Trosper, the executive director of Coos County Habitat for Humanity, said the organization worked with the city of Coos Bay to acquire a piece of property on Wall Street in the Empire District. The property held an abandoned and dilapidated structure, but Trosper said it was in such disarray it could not be Sosalvaged.thisweek, the two structures on the property will be torn down to give Habitat for Humanity the chance to begin working on building new decent, affordable homes to for two Coos County families.
“It’s been empty for five years,” Prosper said. “When we got it, we thought maybe we could rehab it.” But one look inside the home changed those plans, leading to the idea of the first duplex construction project. “It’s actually a lot and a half, so it’s big enough to put a duplex on,” Prosper said. “This will be our first duplex. We’re pretty excited. It will get rid of a nuisance for the neighbors, and we can help two families.”

The World COVID-19, and specifically the Omicron variant, continues to cause illnesses in Coos County, but there might be a light at the end of the tunnel. Dr. Eric Gleason, assistant director of Coos Health & Wellness, said there is still a chance for a surge in the coming weeks, but the soon-to-be availability of a new vaccine booster along with a slow trending down of cases is a sign that the worst of the pandemic is likely behind us. “Our active cases are not representative of the actual situation, but we can get a gauge of the activity of this,” Gleason said. “Our numbers are starting to move in the right direction.

“And, thanks to the work of Oregon’s congressional delegation and the Biden-Harris administration to pass the Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we can continue to invest federal dollars to lower costs and create jobs for working families.”
“With rising costs of living continuing to impact Oregon families and businesses, the Legislature can, in the budget for the next biennium, build on the investments we made in the last session––particularly in housing, workforce development, behavioral health, and child care.

Chris von Lobe dan, the chair of the Habi tat for Humanity board. “I’ve been with Habitat one way or another for 3o years,” von Lobedan said. “The office used to be in the church I served.” In his volunteer role, von Lobedan has been involved with almost all of the homes habitat has had a hand in, 26 newly built homes, two manufactured homes placed on land and one house that was rehabbed.The29 families all worked on their own and other homes to put in sweat equity as a down payment and signed mort gages equal to no more than 30% of their income. One of the 29 mortgages, close to half have now been paid off. Coos County Habitat for Humanity also has a home repair program, where volunteers help existing low-income home owners make needed repairs to theirProsperhomes.said once the land is cleared and the planning is done, Habitat will open up the applica tion process for families to apply. A committee will review all the applications and will choose two fami lies to get the duplexes. The plan is for the new homes to be three-bed room homes that are de cent, safe and affordable. The families chosen will take out a loan through Habitat that is equal or less than the actual cost of construction.Prospersaid in some cases the homeowners pay less than actual cost because Habitat wants to keep the mortgage afford able.“We carry the loans, there’s zero interest,” he said.The Coos County Habitat chapter is also going to be using a new land lease development structure. What that means is the families will own the homes, while Habitat will maintain ownership of the land itself. Each family will sign a 99-year lease on the land at no cost. By maintaining owner ship of the land, Habitat can guarantee any future owners will be needy fam ilies as well. All owners must make less than 80% of the income level in the region to Prosperqualify.saidthe COVID pandemic did slow down the Coos County chapter, but it did not stop the vol unteer work. “It slowed us down a lot,” he said. “When we did start, materials started getting hard to find and delivered to us. I remem
ber we has two months we were waiting for trusses.” Habitat for Humanity is funded by donations, grants and the Habitat store in downtown Coos Bay. The organization has six paid employees - three who work at the store, Proper, an operations man ager and a construction manager.Prosper said he is not sure when work will begin on constructing the new homes, but he is eager to get started to build two more “simple, decent, affordable homes.” “A lot of the other affil iates have done duplexes, so I’ve been in contact with them,” he said. “We are hoping to reach out to more contractors to see if we can get more support from them. We’ve had them do that in the past.” While not everyone can build a home, von Lobe dan said everyone can help Habitat.“Donate to the Habitat store, share information around the community, like churches, and invite us to speak,” he said. “We’re always supporting people who want to volunteer in the community with mean ingful jobs. We’ve always benefited from patrons in the community who recog nize the merits of this and have given us property.” And believe it or not, von Lobedan said property just like the one on Wall Street is ideal for Habitat for“IfHumanity.wecould get proper ty that needs to be demol ished and redeveloped, it would be helpful,” he said. He explained one of the largest Habitat costs with property is often develop ing it. A property where that has been done saves money and time. As Prosper and von Lobedan looked at the property Thursday, directly behind the house, new neighbors of an adjacent property were working to rehab one they recently acquired.Whenthe two properties are fixed up, it will make a huge difference in the neighborhood, Prosper said.“It’s been empty, and it’s been a problem,” he said while pointing to the existing home.

DEAR ABBY
STILL LOST IN CON NECTICUT DEAR STILL LOST: Start discussing “generational trauma” with your therapist. The psychological and phys iological effects of trauma experienced by people (e.g., refugees from WWII and other conflicts and genocides) often impact subsequent generations in that group. When a couple marry, they are supposed to accept each other the way they ARE. Over the last two decades your husband hasn’t done that. He may mean well by his “coaching,” but from where I sit, it appears more like a never-ending stream of criticism. Rather than so readily blame yourself, PLEASE discuss this, too, with your therapist.

CAREFUL IN CALIFORNIA DEAR CAREFUL: A less self-centered person than your girlfriend would have informed you that she wasn’t feeling well and offered to reschedule your date, or left the decision up to you. She would not have shown up and risked exposing you and your family members to COVID. I am not advis ing that you should have waited longer to start dating. Instead, you should have chosen whom you dated more carefully, because this woman is dangerously selfish and inconsiderate.

DEAR ABBY: I am a middle-aged man. My girlfriend of nine months is the same age. I have been pretty careful in guarding against COVID over the last two years. Abby, my girl friend showed up yesterday, obviously sick. The first words out of her mouth were, “I didn’t tell you because I know you would have canceled the date.” She told me she had tested herself for COVID and it was negative, and she just has “allergies.” As the day progressed, her congestion/sickness grew worse. When I discussed this with my adult children (who live at home), they were furious! We were supposed to celebrate Labor Day with a gathering at her place. I canceled it, telling her she has to be 100%. Should I have waited longer to start dating? --

DEAR ABBY: My husband often points out my flaws and shortcomings. For 20 years now, while I try to make changes, I find myself in the same place on most issues. He’s increasingly impatient with me, and I get a daily rundown of what I should or could have done better. I don’t want to lose our marriage. He thinks of himself as a “coach.” As he sees it, some of my most annoying habits are tied to my now deceased parents, who were displaced persons with no education during the Second World War. I under stand his frustrations. I agree with him and want to be the best person I can be, but I’m often mired in sentiment for my parents and act and do as they might have. I talk with a therapist, which sometimes helps, but I still feel tied to their old ways and can’t seem to stand on my own feet as my own person. I’m at a loss about what to do. Thank you for any direction you can offer. --

The city of Powers will be hosting a ribbon-cutting event at the Powers library on September 7 at 4 p.m. to celebrate the substantial completion of two significant infrastructure projects, including new sidewalks and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramp improvements along Highway 542 and at the city hall/library building. The $108,861 city hall/library sidewalk project was funded largely by ODOT’s Small Cities Allotment grant. The project includes the installation of three new ADA accessibility ramps, a parking expansion for the library, and a new 6’ wide sidewalk at city hall and the library. ODOT’s recent ADA ramp im provements along the highway in Powers are part of a larger scale statewide initia tive which contributed $1.3-million for 37 curb ramps at 22 locations in Powers for accessibility.“Thisbeautiful town and the ‘Gateway to the Siskiyou’ community was in need of these improvements,” commented Mayor Robert Kohn. The projects mark just the beginning of several grant-funded projects currently underway in Powers. City Recorder Stephanie Patterson has been successful at obtaining grant funding for other eligible projects, including: a Safe Routes to School sidewalk con struction along the highway from Alder Street to Fig Street; wastewater collection system improvements throughout the community; wastewater lateral line re pairs; storm water master plan; a housing needs analysis and housing implementa tion plan. Staff have also worked together with council members to secure grant funding for seasonal staffing in the fire department.“Itissorewarding to see all of the pos itive development happening in Powers. Having grown up here, I have a special attachment to these projects that are help ing our community grow and thrive. Many thanks to all of the agencies that have supported our efforts,” said City Recorder Stephanie Patterson. The City of Powers appreciates all those that participated in facilitating the recent construction: Oregon Department of Transportation staff, Powers City Coun cil and staff, Loree Pryce, Dave Evans & Associates, Knife River Construction, and all who contributed to the projects.
“American consumers continue to bear the brunt of volatile energy costs, largely driven by misguid ed energy policies,” Stevens said. “Although prices have stabilized in recent weeks, now is the time to make investments into energy infrastructure to ensure access and affordability for consumers.”
By CHRIS WOODWARD InsideSources.com California may be facing an energy shortage and rolling blackouts as a heat wave hits the state, but that is not stopping officials from trying to shut down another international pipeline. Attorneys general from Washington, Oregon and California ask the Federal Energy Regulato ry Commission to deny a proposed expansion of the Gas Transmission Northwest (GTN) Express pipeline. They acknowledge the pipeline, which runs from Alberta, Canada, to California, would “increase the amount of natural gas carried by the pipeline by 150 million cubic feet per day.” But unlike energy sector observers and retail consumers warning of a natural gas shortage, those state officials — all Democrats — say the increased fuel supply is a bad thing. The additional natural gas in the West Coast’s energy grid would “result in increased greenhouse gas emissions and downstream impacts on nearby environmental justice communities,” they argue. GTN falls under the umbrella of TC Energy, a Canadian business and parent company of Key stoneTheXL.attorneys general also claim GTN’s appli cation “has not demonstrated sufficient evidence of a public need or that the project is in the public interest.”Theyeven took a shot at FERC, saying an environmental impact statement of the pipeline “fails to analyze these impacts” or reconciling the expansion with state laws and policies promoting renewable energy. “(That is) in violation of the Natural Environ mental Policy Act,” they said in a statement. Grow America’s Infrastructure Now (GAIN) said this pipeline has nothing to be concerned about.For starters, GAIN said the GTN pipeline deliv ers natural gas from Alberta through a pipeline that runs from Idaho to eastern Washington, through Oregon, and connects with existing pipeline net works in AccordingCalifornia.toGAIN, the expansion project would increase capacity and allow more clean natural gas distribution.

“This effort simply changes how natural gas is delivered, not how much is allowable to be used or demanded,” Myers said. “So, this does not change the total CO2 emissions in either state and does not reduce the risk from climate change. It simply risks making it more expensive to legally heat homes.”

Letters to the Editor Guest Column
It is my understanding that the city of Coos Bay will try again to get a version of the measure passed. I am still completely opposed to the park site; but just saying no to something does not move the discussion forward. There are many of us who believe libraries are still relevant and needed (a different discus sion). We also know there is a viable site downtown that is available until 9-30-22...possible longer if the city commits to a serious discussion. A library on this site (McAu ley Hospital) would cost less, could be platinum level green, enhances rather than destroys habitat, requires no expensive traffic control, is already con nected to Coos Bay’s civic and city infrastructure and actually meets the purpose of urban renewal which is to remove blight. The park site offers none of Nothese.site plan for the park location has been released by the city. The information they have released is skimpy, difficult to find, contradictory and incom plete, but here is what can be pieced together. The city calls this site a ridge. It is not. It is more of a small peninsula surrounded on three sides by wetlands, water and bog/swamp. Its widest section is barely 200’ at most, but narrows fairly quickly going north and at the southeast end (where the grassy area by the parking lot is located). That area is below grade and has standing water most of the year (how much depending on rainfall). It is ac tually part of the wetlands which run along the east side of the peninsula.Itappears that a very large building (almost 33,000 sq. ft.) will try to be “shoehorned” onto a very small site...hitting on or extending into wetlands on the east and bog/swamp on the west. This will require “fill” to remove the wetlands and the bog. According to the Dept. of State Lands and the D.E.Q., that requires mitigation and miti gation requires more time and money. The city, as of early May, has not filed any notification and does not yet know if they will get approval. Cart before the horse? Is the city planning to fill all of the acre and a half swamp of the west side or just part of it and leave the rest for the mosquitoes? Fill on the east side is even more of a problem. The overflow for the upper lake is situated there marking one end of a dike constructed by the National Guard with state funds to create the upper and lower lakes. As soon as water goes over the spillway, it starts the lower lake. In the event of a large quake that dike will surely fail. I might also point out that any survey work done recently is done some 16 (?) years into a ‘drought pattern’ and is not reflective of normal precipitation levels. I can remember years where the water level in the lower lake/wetlands there rose to touch the underside of the small bridge at the north end of the peninsula with water covering the paved trail there. Wherever fill is used, it is still going to be fill on top of “saturat ed” soil. Isn’t that somewhat the problem with the current library site?As near as can be ascertained, this 33,000 sq. ft. building will begin approximately where the paved trail now lies starting at the parking lot and going west over the rise...starting about halfway along the grassy area and continuing to the bog/swamp area - some 211’. From this east/west trail the building will go north about 283’ along the paved trail starting near the current bench with the bulk of the building going on the east side except for an extension to the west into the bog. The building will end about where the trail splits... left going along the lower lake or straight ahead to the little bridge. It has been stated repeatedly that only a “few trees” will be removed. The truth is that to accommodate this building, to allow for construction, to allow for more parking, to allow for completely relocating and rebuilding the paved trail system there will have to be a clearcut of well over two acres with well more than 200 trees removed. The tree “cathedral” which is the hallmark of the entry to John Topits Park will be no more. And, by the way, the road down to the parking lot will be moved to turn right downhill as soon as one passes under the wrought iron entry gate. Fifty or more mature trees gone. May I also note that where the surveyors did their work, they hacked off the understory and left it – destroying bird habitat and creating a nice area of fire fuel. When John Topits Park was created some 30+ years ago, it was to be a wild lands park and was hailed by the governor of our state as such. The most “wild” part of the park was the area being proposed for destruc tion or to be heavily impacted by same. The only pair of nesting great horned owls are (were?) there.The great blue heron’s fa vorite feeding are (was?) there. There were many, many bird species including three kinds of woodpeckers working on the old snags. These (named) species are shy birds and easily scared off. They will never return if the area is removed. The direction to go is to make the park more “wild” and encourage wildlife to return and stay. Global warming science tells us how vitally important wild lands, wetlands and matur ing old growth are coming to be (always were, in fact). Build the needed dispatch center with a new police sub-sta tion on the Gussies site (a blight ed building) on Newmark and Schoneman. That would help the Devereaux Center and Empire. Build any emergency services “center” by working a deal with SWOYA, a far better location with ample room for the logis tics and staging that emergencies require. The park site will never be suitable for that. And build a library that is less expensive and far more accessible by creating another “jewel” for Coos Bay rather than destroying one it already has.

Critics argue that the states’ opposition to the pipeline expansion appears more political than environmental.“Thisstrikes me as a political effort that does nothing to help the environment but may risk in creased heating costs,” said Todd Myers, environ mental director at the Washington Policy Center. Pointing to Washington state and California, Myers said both have strict carbon-dioxide emis sions caps, and the protest by the attorneys general does nothing to change those.
Steve Skinner is a former federal level eduction special ist based in Washington, D.C. He began a second career as a landscape gardener 35 years ago (now mostly retired). He has volunteered several thousands of hours in public parks and spaces specializing in removal of invasives. He resides in North Bend within walking distance of John Topits Park.
By STEVE SKINNER This is a follow up to my letter to the the editor of 5-3-22, trying to let Coos Bay voters know that the main entry area to John Topits Park faced total destruc tion with major disruptions to adjacent areas if the new library measure was passed by them. That measure was defeated for what seems to be three main rea sons. It was too expensive, it was (is) the wrong site and, finally, a fair number of people believe libraries are no longer relevant.

“The federal government has comprehensively reviewed the project, ultimately finding its impact would ‘not be significant,’” said GAIN repre sentative Craig Stevens. “Further, their analysis confirms the current proposed route is the best available, stating, ‘the (environmental impact statement) also concludes that no system or other alternative would meet the project objectives while providing a significant environmental advantage over the project as proposed.’”

The attorneys general are not budging. Attorney General Rob Bonta of California maintains ex panding the pipeline’s capacity would have signif icant environmental and public health impacts and is out of step with state and federal climate goals. “FERC can’t honestly say otherwise,” Bonta said. “The reality is, when we expand gas infra structure, it’s all too often minority, low-income and Indigenous communities that pay the price.” Attorney General Bob Ferguson of Washington agreed, adding, “This pipeline is bad for the envi ronment and bad for consumers.” That is why these chief law officers claim they joined“Theforces.WestCoast is experiencing very real impacts of climate change and leading the climate fight,” said Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum of Oregon.Myers said the attorneys general are making contradictory arguments, something he thinks in dicates they are grasping for arguments rather than addressing“Claimingrisks.onthe one hand that expanding the pipeline will increase the use of natural gas and CO2 emissions while also claiming that, in their words, ‘restrictive natural gas policies in the affected states’ will make it hard to use the pipeline efficiently,” Myers said. The political debate still rages 19 months after President Biden canceled the Keystone XL pipe line. Biden, who campaigned on fighting climate change and transitioning the U.S. away from fossil fuels, said Keystone XL “disserves the U.S. nation al interest.”Sincethen, global natural gas supplies have been pummeled by supply chain issues, soaring post-pandemic demand, and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In Europe, businesses and families are facing restrictions on heating this winter due to Russian-imposed restrictions on the natural-gas supply that has triggered a 400 percent increase in wholesale gas prices. And yet three additional major U.S. pipeline projects — the PennEast, Atlantic Coast and Constitution — have all been canceled in the face of lawsuits and regulatory resistance in the last two years.Why, consumer advocates ask, would the United States want to restrict the flow at a time when utili ty costs for average families are soaring?
If the attorneys general are successful, Stevens said he thinks their actions would cost the U.S. construction jobs, weaken the economy and make the world more reliant on energy from countries hostile to the United States. “More broadly, it will also have a chilling effect on infrastructure investment across the nation.”

General Fund resources have continued to expand in recent years despite large kicker credits being issued. This growth is expected to pause in the near term, as nonwage forms of income return to earth and gains in the labor market slow. Recent gains in reported taxable income have been driven by taxpayer behavior as well as underlying economic growth. Investment and business income are not always realized for tax purposes as the same time they are earned in the market. Late 2021 was a great time to cash in assets, with equity prices and business valuations high, and potential federal tax increases on the horizon. Income reported on tax returns last year grew at more than double the rate of economic measures of in income. After so much income was pulled into tax years 2020 and 2021, less will be realized in the near term. And with recessionary risks rising, profits and gains could turn into losses, and a smaller share of filers could be subject to the top rate. The bottom line is that the unexpected revenue growth seen this year has left us with unprecedented balances this biennium, followed by a record kicker in 2023-25. The projected personal kicker is $3.5 billion, which will be credited to taxpayers when they file their returns in Spring 2024. The projected corporate kicker is $1.1 billion, which will be retained for educational spending. If current balances are not spent, net General Fund revenues for the upcoming 2023-25 biennium will be reduced by $24 million relative to the June 2022 forecast. The Oregon economic forecast is published to provide information to planners and policy makers in state agencies and private organizations for use in their decision-making processes. The Oregon revenue forecast is published to open the revenue forecasting process to public review. It is the basis for much of the budgeting in state government. The report is issued four times a year; in March, June, September, and December.
• The presence of snags across the landscape intensifies fire behavior and poses hazards to firefighters, reduces the ability to directly attack fires and leads to even more acres being burned; o Attempts to manage a wildfire are made far more dangerous by burning snags; o Burning snags can greatly increase the heat and severity of fire; o Wildfire managers will be reluctant to directly attack fires in re-burn areas; • Based on historic wildfire patterns in western Oregon, there will be a heightened fire risk in the upper North and South Umpqua watersheds for the next half century until snags are removed intentionally or by consequent wildfire;
• Re-burn areas may ultimately convert forest stands to another vegetation type altogether (e.g., brush field, hardwoods); • Federal land managers are crippled before and after fires by the current suite of administrative land designations.
Recommendations: • Federal land management designations should be reevaluated to allow land managers to reduce the threat of future fires to human and wildlife populations; • Remove most snags from high-risk areas with residences, major roads, power lines, etc.; • Fuels reduction along existing road networks can create a system of ready-made firebreaks; • Reforestation projects can be used to create a network of strategic firebreaks; • Open up riparian areas and ridgetops to more closely mimic early historic forest patterns; • Replicate historic Indian burning practices in the Fall in places such as grassy prairies, ridgelines and berry fields.
In a report commissioned by Douglas Timber Operators, fire historian Bob Zybach, PhD analyzed historic fire behavior in western Oregon and recent trends in wildfire activity. In his report, “A Growing Sea of Snags,” Zybach predicts that the massive amount of dead trees left after forest fires on federal lands will drastically alter both fire behavior and reduce options for fire managers.“Without substantial changes in federal forest management, dead wood left after fires poses a increasing threat to firefighters, our communities, wildlife and other natural resources,” said Matt Hill, executive director for Douglas Timber Operators. Zybach’s report included interviews with current and past fire managers, firefighters and othersexperienced with wildfire in Douglas County and the North Umpqua drainage in particular.
Reserve’s target. As such, the Fed is raising interest rates further to cool the economy.Giventhe impact of rate increases is generally felt one to two years down the road, getting policy just right is extremely difficult. In our office’s recent forecast advisory meetings there was a strong consensus that the risk of recession was uncomfortably high. The outlook is essentially a coin flip between the soft landing and a recession. For now, our office is keeping the baseline, or most probable outlook as the soft landing and continued economic forecasts.thangrow,andEmployment,expansion.income,spendingcontinuetobutataslowerpaceassumedinpreviousThisslower
Dembrow applauds agency efforts to improve graduation standards
COVID From A1
On Thursday, the Oregon Department of Education released recommendations to the Legislature to improve graduation standards for Oregon students. This report follows up on Senate Bill 744 from the 2021 Legislative Session, which required the department to conduct an extensive public review of state high school graduation standards to reduce educational inequities. The report contains recommendations to better prepare students on their path to graduation and beyond, including entering the workforce or higher education.“Inkeeping with Senate Bill 744, the department’s report focuses on one central issue – aligning Oregon high school graduation requirements with the skills that will help our kids succeed,” said Senator Michael Dembrow (D-Portland), chair of the Senate Committee on Education, who carried Senate Bill 744 to passage on the Senate floor. “The report confirms that certain past requirements were not leading to better outcomes for young adults preparing for college or entering the workforce. The report found that past requirements were actually harming certain studentSenategroups.”Bill744 suspended “Assessment of Essential Skills” graduation requirements while the department compiled their report. The department’s review of statewide data in the report showed that “Assessment of Essential Skills” graduation requirements were inequitable and did not ensure that Oregon students would be prepared for life after high school. The report also found that most other states have moved away from these types of “Therequirements.SenateCommittee on Education will be holding a hearing on the report on September 21,” continued Dembrow. “We’ll hear more about the findings, about the extensive outreach efforts made by the department over the last year, and about the State Board of Education’s plans for future rule-making based on the report. It’s not clear yet whether any additional legislative action is needed. That’s a discussion that will begin at the hearing.”

growth is needed for inflation to subside. However, if inflation does not slow as expected, and the Federal Reserve raises rates even further, our office’s alternative scenario of a mild recession beginning in late 2023 is more likely. Heading into the budget development season, growth in Oregon’s primary revenue instruments continues to outstrip expectations. Both personal and corporate tax collections remain strong, in keeping with income gains seen in the underlying economy. The forecast for the current 2021-23 biennium has been revised upward. Although the near-term forecast calls for additional revenue, this is offset in future budget periods by a more pessimistic economic outlook. Growth in spending and wages will need to slow to tame inflation, which translates into less state revenue growth across a broad range of taxes. The potential recession would weigh heavily on revenues over the next several years. However, even if the economic expansion persists, General Fund revenues are due for a hangover in 2023-25.

Will that still be the case when we put kids back in school. Probably not.” Gleason said the biggest COVID news of late was the FDA recently approved vaccines designed specifically to seek out BA.5, or the variants, that have caused the majority of sicknesses over the last six months as cases have surged.‘The newer one is basically looking for these variants more,” Gleason said. “The FDA approved the boosters and we’re waiting for the approval of the Western States Scientific Safety Review Workgroup. It would make it so the current vaccine is no longer used for boosters. We will want to use these.” Over the weekend, the Western State Scientific Safety Review Group approved the new vaccine, and the Oregon Health Authority said vaccines will be available this week. But what is not known is how many people will be willing to take the new booster after the original vaccine failed to stop the spread of underwaysaidRegardless,COVID.Gleasonasschoolgetsbacknextweek,it is important to take precautions to slow any potential outbreak in classes. “We have to take the precautions we can take. If someone gets sick, we need to send them home. It will be interesting to see how educators handle this,” Gleason said. “It’s up to school boards to do what they want to do (with masks), but I don’t see a whole lot of school boards doing youhetakeabeingshowtheyneedGleasonanything.”saidparentstobecautiouswhenhavechildrenwhoanysymptomofsick,evenifitcausesbriefhardshipathome.“Ithinkyoujustneedtosymptomsseriously,”said.“WhetherornotthinkCOVIDisabig deal, it can hamstring an entire classroom if everyone gets sick. We need to make the right decisions to keep kids in class, so don’t go to school if you’re not feeling well. We need to find ways to not spread it through the classroom.” After close to three years of COVID being active in Oregon, Gleason said it has become a part of life. Therefore, he said, doing what you can to avoid spreading it is the best way to “Thislive. is something we need to live with now, and we need to find a way to keep everyone safe,” he said.While the COVID vaccine has not stopped people from getting sick, especially with the variants, Gleason said it has helped in many ways. “Our death rate is significantly lower,” he said. “It has made the death rate and the hospitalization rate significantly lower because of the protection it provides.”While the pandemic is waning, Gleason said a slight surge could be on the horizon. With that in mind, he repeated the mantra - if you are sick, stay home. “As more people are coming together for end of summer activities, sports, school, this would be a time where you would probably start seeing another increase,” he said.
• Approximately 40% of the Umpqua National Forest has burned at least once in the last 20 years; many areas have burned 2-3 times in that period;
• As little as 1% of snags are being removed from federal burn areas – contributing to an over-abundance of dead trees in the North and South Umpqua drainages for the foreseeable future;

OEM suggests people with disabilities and their caregivers consider individual circumstances and specific needs when planning for emergencies and create a support network of people who can help during a disaster. Part of being ready involves neighbors helping neighbors. People should talk to others in their community to determine who has what supplies and who might need extra help in an emergency, according to Phelps.

U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley today announced that three Oregon fire districts will receive a combined nearly $100,000 in federal Assistance to Firefighters Grants“Every(AFG).day, firefighters in local fire districts—both union and volunteer—put their lives on the line to protect our communities in Oregon,” Wyden said. “Local firefighters have been on the front lines of fire season this year and every year. They deserve the equipment and training to do their jobs to the best of their abilities so that our friends, neighbors, and loved ones can continue to stay“Oregon’ssafe.” firefighters work tirelessly, risking their lives to keep our homes and communities safe. It is crucial for local fire districts to have the resources they need,” Merkley said. “This funding will ensure that the dedicated firefighters in Coos Bay, Siletz, and Sheridan are well equipped and prepared to keep protecting the Oregonians theyAFGserve.”grants help firefighters and first responders obtain essential resources to enhance their response capabilities and to more effectively protect the health and safety of the public and emergency response personnel from fire and other related hazards. The Oregon communities receiving these grants are as follows: · City of Coos Bay$32,380 · Siletz Rural Fire Protection District$34,238 · Sheridan Fire District“Without$35,238this support, many communities – including Coos Bay – would be forced to utilize tools that are obsolete. Coos Bay Fire Department will replace our outdated Thermal Imaging Cameras (TIC). These TICs allow firefighters to see through smoke and low light environments to find hot spots or even victims by using the temperature differences to create a picture. The firefighters of Coos Bay are keenly aware of the value of this tool since it was 20 years ago (November 25, 2002) that three Coos Bay firefighters were killed in a fire. The following investigation revealed that having Thermal Imaging Cameras may likely have prevented this tragedy. The FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant program is a vital partnership with our nation’s fire service agencies; providing the support needed to serve their communities. I would like to thank Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, as well as our other elected officials that have fought to continue funding this important FEMA grant,” said Mark R.

“A big part of OEM’s mission is to empower Oregonians to be as prepared as possible in an emergency,” Phelps said. “A disaster can happen anywhere at any time, and once it occurs, it may take days or even weeks for responders to reach everyone impacted. For every one person that’s prepared, that’s one less person first responders need to assist, saving precious time and allowing them to prioritize life-threatening situations and our most vulnerable people. Doing our part to ready ourselves and our loved ones truly helps save the lives of others.”
