I believe this is a tax scheme to provide funds for the state retirement. It will come fromf the pockets of working people. Any tax increase directly or indirectly should go to voters/tax payers.

I think that all important bills should be sent to the voters. It is obvious that our elected officials are not doing the job we hired them to do.

The voters have a right to decide any new taxes. This is a new tax.

A law so far reaching and controversial is definitely a subject that should be addressed by the people it would affect. There are too many lawmakers who do not understand the consequences they inflict

Letting the voters decide seems like a fair way to handle some issues. The problem is the losers of the vote whine about losing and claim the winners don't represent them. Democracy in action.

Of course! We the people! The dems know it won't pass so they throw these so called "emergency clauses" in so they can bypass us. It's bewildering that people still vote democrat. Tax and spend.

This is getting ridiculous with the Republicans leaving their jobs and still getting paid. Shame on them! Let the voters decide for sure!

Obviously the Oregon Democrats don't want to involve the people of Oregon in the decision because their Cap and Tax scheme would lose by a landslide. It's all about money and not the environment.

Yes. Oregonians want something to be done to help curtail the effects of climate change. Big polluters like Georgia Pacific need to be responsible (and not feed voters misinformation before!).

Most voters don't bother to find out the truth about science and have no business voting on such crucial legislation. Most Rs don't even believe in climate change, so why should they vote on it?

Pure liberal BS. Liberals are afraid to let voters decide.

We elect people to represent us. We don't need a legislature who passes their responsibilities to the voters who don't have the information to make an informed decision. Walking out solves nothing.

I prefer metering to increasing the number of lanes. More than one lane makes roundabouts much more dangerous to navigate, especially with drivers who are not locals and do not understand how roundabouts work. 2 lanes = many more accidents plus 2 lanes need to be a much larger diameter for safety.

What's the point of having a light at a roundabout? The point of a roundabout is to get rid of the lights. Widen it and start growing for the people coming here. The way bend builds, everything is obsolete by the time it's done.

I drive through this around about several times everyday and it is never an issue very rarely. Is it an issue? The reason they put roundabouts in for the first place was to get rid of stop lights and stop signs

Isn't that why they put the round about in because stop lights were going to cost to much????? Just saying.

doesn't this defeat the purpose of a roundabout? might as well make it a regular intersection with lights.

If people used the roundabout correctly and actually filled in the gaps and went when there was an opening it would flow just fine. People wait for a bus sized gap before they go.

Trump is a clear danger to Democracy. I don't think MAGA people actually listen to his "speeches"/rambling offensive tirades of many half-truths.. but also easily disproven outright lies. How anyone can support him at this point, is bizarre.

I voted for Trump because of his policies. Harris has none, just the same terrible Biden policies.

A vote for the Democratic Party is a vote for one party rule. I never felt that way until the Biden administration took over and opened the border to allow so many to come across unvetted. I have never understood why it takes 3 to 5 years to get a green card. Makes no sense.
