Gresham Chamber Government Affairs Council Recommendations
Your Chamber Government Affairs Council takes their responsibility seriously. The Council followed their established process to research, review and then recommend all starting with a written questionnaire. The Chamber Board receives the recommendations and determines the outcomes. The following decisions have been recommended and approved by the Chamber Board.
Support:
State Representative
District 49 Justin Hwang
District 51 Lori Chaves Deremers
Support:
Metro Council
Joe Buck
Support:
Gresham City Races
Mayor Shane Bemis
Councilor Position 2 Janine Gladfelter
Councilor Position 6 Kirk French
No decision has been made as of this printing in Position 4
Ballot Measures
Support Measure 103 prohibiting state and local taxes on groceries
Support Measure 104 requiring 3/5 vote on any revenue raising legislation
Oppose Metro Housing Bond 26-199
While the Council unanimously agrees that housing for all levels of income is in short supply, there are many unknowns as the measure is written.
Currently, the state constitution does not allow revenue from bond issues to be used in a project with private owners or stakeholders. (If Measure 102, designed to provide an exception to this prohibition for the construction of affordable housing, the Metro Housing Bond would be more acceptable to the Chamber.)

Above all, gather the information necessary for you to make a wise and solid decision for you personally and professionally.
Then vote.

Breast Cancer: Knowing the Facts
The good news, reported by the American Cancer Society this month is that death rates from breast cancer have declined almost 40% between 1989 and 2015. The report, the latest to document a long-term reduction in breast cancer mortality, attributed the declines to both improvements in treatments and to early detection by mammography. Instead of only one or two options, today there are many treatment choices that fight the complex mix of cells in each individual cancer. However, the decisions to be made - surgery, then possibly radiation, hormonal (anti-estrogen) therapy, and/or chemotherapy can be overwhelming.
