It happens every time when it comes to paying the tax payers their kicker check.
Salem cringes and tries desperately to find a way to keep your kicker money. Well, this time under the excuse of government stability, they would like to add your kicker money to a "rainy day fund".
"...it [the kicker]would give Oregon more flexibility during economic downturns "so when hard times hit, we're not closing schools, we're not closing courts, we're not taking state police off the road," said Sen. Ginny Burdick, a Portland Democrat and chairwoman of the Senate's Revenue Committee. "The next time we have one of these downturns we will not suffer so much pain...At the same time we were closing schools, we were returning kickers."I think that they should look at their own spending habits instead of keeping OUR money. We have to budget and live with-in our means and so can they

The main reason we even have a kicker refund is because the people of Oregon do not trust the government to manage our money prudently. The government is going to have to prove to us that they are deserving of that trust or there will more and more referendums to curtail their excesses.
You don't earn that trust by taking the refund that we voted on.
