The interview includes discussion of: the political career of Victor Atiyeh, focusing on his tax reform ideas, legislative strategies, and his role in Oregon politics; Atiyeh's opposition to sales taxes due to their hidden nature; Atiyeh's proposal for a gross receipts tax in 1982, which failed, leading to a sales tax proposal in 1983 that was also unsuccessful; Atiyeh's leadership in the Oregon Senate, which involved balancing power with John Burns as President; Atiyeh's crucial role in the 18-year-old vote amendment in 1971; Atiyeh's work in energy policy and Indian Affairs legislation; and Atiyeh's overall record from the 1960s to the 1980s.
