  Whereas the Oregon of the future can provide unparalleled
economic opportunities while maintaining Oregon's traditional
values if this state pursues its goals with clarity of purpose
and perseverance; and
  Whereas Oregon is in the midst of a massive economic, social
and environmental transformation, and in order to expand economic
opportunities while maintaining Oregon's unique quality of life
in the face of this transformation, Oregonians must have a vision
for their preferred future that spans economic, social and
environmental concerns; and
  Whereas Oregon's competitiveness depends on its ability to
improve and sustain its economic, social and environmental
well-being simultaneously; and
  Whereas achieving this competitiveness requires a shared
vision, shared data and collaboration across policy areas and
branches of government and across state, local, public and
private sectors; and
  Whereas for two decades Oregon has had a statewide strategic
plan called Oregon Shines; and
  Whereas the Oregon Progress Board has reported the state's
progress toward the plan's goals biennially since the early 1990s
using high-level outcome measures called the Oregon benchmarks;
and
  Whereas 2009 marks the end of the 20-year time frame of the
original statewide strategic plan, and 12 years have passed since
the last overhaul of that plan and the benchmarks; and
  Whereas state and local governments, the business community,
philanthropic and not-for-profit organizations and the citizens
of Oregon are all partners in advancing the statewide goals; and
  Whereas the Governor and the Legislative Assembly play a
critical role in statewide leadership and in allocating Oregon's
resources for suggested strategies; and
  Whereas recovering from the current economic crisis demands a
renewal of collaboration and data-based strategic thinking for
the next 20 years; and
  Whereas it is anticipated that the Governor, the President of
the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives will
form a Commission on Oregon's Competitiveness to provide
statewide leadership and support to the Oregon Progress Board in
articulating Oregon's next 20-year strategic plan; now,
therefore,
 
Be It Resolved by the Legislative Assembly of the State of
  Oregon:
 
  That we, the members of the Seventy-fifth Legislative Assembly,
resolve to join with the Governor to provide leadership to the
state and support to the Oregon Progress Board in engaging local
governments, the business community, philanthropic and
not-for-profit organizations, the citizens of Oregon and all
