A big thank you to Jeff Nakashima of Fortis Construction, Inc. and to Mike Schofield, CFO of Gresham Barlow School District. What a spectacular Try Local Tuesday.

Saturday with Senators. Thank you Senators Monnes Anderson and Dembrow for meeting with Chamber members. It was a powerful 90 minutes of conversation, listening and understanding different points of view. A wide range of membership was at the table sharing their experience perspectives.

Activity on Major Issues:
Business Tax Increase -
A pure gross receipts tax (old name Measure 97, new name Commercial Activity Tax) is in the works. It is a new business tax adding more than $2 billion in revenue each biennium to the General Fund. The goal is to fund K-12 however unless it is in the state constitution, funds collected can NOT be dedicated to any specific pot. The $2 billion will go into the general fund, where it goes from there will be decided each session.
- At this point it does not appear the PERS reform or any other government cost savings will accompany this tax proposal.
Marijuana Accommodation
- (SB 379) would undermine and nullify all employers' workplace drug-free policies and would require employers to accommodate off-duty marijuana use.
Paid Family Leave
- The bill gives the Employment Department the authority to levy up to a 1% payroll tax on employers and a 1% income tax on employees to implement a 26-week per year paid family leave program.
This bill would
apply to all employers with at least one employee.
