		Incidence rates by county are not calculated here because many of Oregon counties have small numbers of reported cases for diseases for which rates are likely to vary with small year-to-year variation in the absolute number of cases.
		For all disease reporting, a case is “assigned” to the county of residence for that individual at the time the case is reported; this may be different than the county where the key laboratory tests were performed or the diagnosis was made.
		Approximately 59% of all reported cases of HIV infection were residents of Multnomah County at the time of their case report; Multnomah County accounts for 19% of Oregon’s estimated 2005 population.

	Rep. Richardson: County Funding Crisis - The Oregon Catalyst
		The loss of federal timber replacement revenues (commonly referred to as O & C funds), to 33 Oregon counties is both imminent and catastrophic.
		It is not being melodramatic to say more than one Oregon county faces shutting off their lights, closing their doors, and ceasing to exist by year’s end, unless O & C funding issues are resolved.
		If the federal government is incapable of managing Oregon’s forests and unable to generate a reasonable amount of O & C funding revenues, maybe it is time for the federal government to relinquish control over Oregon’s forest lands.
