The interview includes discussion of: the legislative and gubernatorial career of Oregon Governors Tom McCall and Vic Atiyeh, contrasting their views on taxes and economic development; how McCall opposed a sales tax due to its impact on retailers and advocated for small government; how Atiyeh, a legislator for 20 years, proposed a gross income tax and a 1.5% property tax limit, which faced legislative opposition; the evolution of property tax relief in Oregon; the impact of recessions on state budgets, particular the Recession of the early 1980s; Atiyeh's efforts to attract business to Oregon; how Atiyeh's approach to tax reform was more pragmatic compared to McCall's approach.
