Mission Statement

The Oregon Center for Public Policy (OCPP) does in-depth research and analysis on budget, tax, and economic issues. Our goal is to improve decision making and generate more opportunities for all Oregonians.

About This Cause

We believe in an economically prosperous Oregon where Oregonians at all income levels have a meaningful opportunity to thrive. This vision won’t be achieved by accident or by chance. Good public policy is essential. It will take a just tax system that produces sufficient revenue to pay for needed public investments. It will take economic policy that ensures that all workers, not just the wealthy few, enjoy the benefits of a growing economy. It will take smart budgets that prioritize investments in education, health care and other vital public services that protect the vulnerable and create opportunity for all. We reject the notion that “you’re on your own.” We believe “we’re in this together” when it comes to protecting the vulnerable, educating our children and steering the state’s economy. OCPP's Mission: Use research and analysis to advance policies and practices that improve the economic and social opportunities of all Oregonians. OCPP's Core Values: Economic justice. Economic justice is found in a progressive tax system and the equitable distribution of the economy's benefits. Stand with the poor. Our solutions must benefit all Oregonians, but always with a special focus on the interests of low income Oregonians. Good government works. Government can play a necessary and positive role, and we are vigilant and critical in pursuit of improved effectiveness and efficiency of our public structures. How OCPP Works: Credibility. Our effectiveness demands independence, rigor, and transparent reasoning. Usefulness. Our work is timely, accessible, and relevant. Cooperation. We work in concert with others to share information, build consensus, and achieve results. Involvement. In all decisions we are considerate of those who are affected by our work.
