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.

Actually scott it stops one sided liberals with their my way only attitude which you clearly represent.
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.
ReplyI 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.
ReplyWe deserve to have our voices heard!
ReplyEvery issue should be sent to our vote we have idiot crooks in there , don't forget they work for us , public servants not superior's!!!!
ReplyThe voters have a right to decide any new taxes. This is a new tax.
ReplyWe the people make better choices than the government most of the time.
ReplyA 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
ReplyLetting 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.
ReplyOf 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.
ReplyThis is getting ridiculous with the Republicans leaving their jobs and still getting paid. Shame on them! Let the voters decide for sure!
ReplyObviously 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.
ReplyYes. 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!).
