Instead of stealing the kicker, Starr requires dedicated saving every budget cycle
Salem, OR – This February, Senator Bruce Starr (R-Hillsboro) is offering an alternative to Governor Ted Kulongoski’s rainy day fund proposal. Starr will again introduce a bill that would put 3% of state revenue into a savings account at the beginning of every budget cycle. Governor Ted Kulongoski (D) has proposed changing the state constitution to allow use of Oregon’s kicker money for a rainy day fund.
