HB 2275 would significantly increase state taxes on cigarettes. It also would <br />change distribution of cigarette tax revenues, but the distribution share are left blank in <br />the bill as introduced. Depending on amendments these changes could damage or <br />enhance the City's share of state cigarette tax revenue. If the bill has any possibility of <br />moving it should be monitored for amendments and any reduction in shared revenue <br />should be opposed. <br />HB 2310 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to financing transportation projects; declaring an emergency. <br />Title:Authorizes issuance of lottery bonds for transportation projects funded from Multimodal <br />Transportation Fund.

Walking and biking are two modes <br />that are not currently eligible. Adding those modes would give the City of Eugene more <br />flexibility in project selection for grant submittal. At a lower than priority one, <br />transportation planning staff would like to support expanding the ConnectOregon <br />program to include pedestrian and bicycle modes that currently are not eligible.
