on Candidate Conversation: John Kitzhaber
Inasmuch as successful governing requires 1) effectively communicated vision that convinces a buy-in from the populace and 2) skills of persuasion and negotiation with legislators, what has the Governor done during the last few years to improve his skills in these areas? Can he give us a concrete example of how he has worked to develop these skills or how he has demonstrated his improvement?

One of your guests suggested that trust funds do not accrue capital gains and, thus, do not pay capital gains taxes. I think your listeners deserve a correction. A trust that is funded by stocks that are sold do indeed accrue capital gains and pay capital gains taxes.
I appreciated Jeff Mapes' question to the gubernatorial candidates with regard to capital gains. How can we be sure that greater capital gains accrued by individuals and trust funds as a result of lowering capital gains taxes are indeed invested in creating Oregon jobs?
