One of my proposals is for the state to stop with the energy tax credits and shift lottery dollars away from things like Portland's new eastside streetcar, and redirect such spending cuts to funding healthcare for those trully below the federally recognized poverty line. I favor such cutbacks over new taxes to enlarge the Oregon Health Plan well beyond its current size. Healthcare for the truly needy seems a higher priority than building new botique-like streetcars or buying prohibitively expensive solar power panels with energy costs 5 to 10 times more expensive than wind, natural gas or nuclear power. Ethanol credits should also be cut seeing how there is only a modest gain in net fuel suppies from importing corn from the U.S midwest and turning it into rocket fuel for low performance cars.
