The 2019-2020 Chamber Magazine is a few weeks away from arriving at our members' doorsteps. It is not only a quick (and colorful) way to access members, it has informative and interesting articles. Check out “Unstoppable Women”. Love Umeda, Party Surprise, is one of the four highlighted women.

The Salvation Army Gresham Corps' Major Dianne Madsen and husband Matt will be leaving the Gresham Army location and transferring to new Army responsibilities in the San Francisco area. Best wishes to you both. We all will miss you. Let the San Fran Chamber of Commerce (if they have one) know how fun and productive the Gresham Chamber is!

Super Majority in the legislature = a Runaway Train

- Cap-and-Trade (HB 2020) - now estimated at $0.22 per gallon in 2021. OSCC has been working hard on a solution that protects businesses and ratepayers as well as the transportation sector. These efforts (-102 amendment) would protect local businesses and consumers from the negative impacts of cap-and-trade and give the Legislature time to sort out numerous constitutional challenges before cap-and-trade is fully implemented. The amendments are just now getting traction, but this bill is being fast-tracked. If the Legislature adopts the -102 amendment, it is our business amendment.
- Paid Family Leave (HB 2005) The draft policy under consideration is modeled loosely on Washington and includes:
- 12-week paid family and medical leave annually
- All employees are eligible after they've earned $1000
- New state-run insurance program, funded through payroll tax contributions
- Payroll tax of up to 1%:
- 60% employee paid
- 40% employer paid
- Requirements come into effect after 90 days of employment
