"Oregon voters delivered historic approval Tuesday for a pair of tax increases after a campaign that assured Oregonians they could protect schools and other programs by requiring wealthy individuals and big corporations to pay more...."
"Oregon House Speaker Dave Hunt called the results “a win for Oregon kids,” whose schools will not face the 5 percent cut in state spending they would otherwise have confronted."
the problem is that they are counting on the fact that people forget or have not been here long enough to remember the games. So people easily fall for the rhetoric that if we don't pass this new increase, that the kids are going to suffer.
you guys fall for it every time.
I unfortunately have to agree with the following comments, one from Nike CEO Phil Knight, who basically said that passage of these measures is assisted suicide for Oregon and Oregon Republican Party Chairman Bob Tiernan, "we are going to have more businesses leave the state and are going to have a lot more businesses who are never going to come here."
not to mention, all the people that cannot find work and are having to leave their home, the state of Oregon, for greener pastures.
I hope to hell that I'm wrong.
Oh, and don't complain when the costs of good start going up when these business start passing the costs of the new tax on to the consumer.
Remember, YOU voted for it.
