A quickie: right now (4pm) the new head of the Oregon League of Conservation Voters, Jon Isaacs--late of the victorious Merkley for Senate campaign--is conducting a live blog on Measures 66 and 67. Why would an environmental advocacy concern take the time to talk about tax fairness? Isaacs has already responded:
These measures will preserve our environment for future generations by preserving funding for vital environmental programs -
-clean air monitoring, clean water protection, investments in renewable energy, reducing pollution.
all of these things require revenue and if measures 66 & 67 fail, they will face devastating cuts.
Its really that simple.
They've got a fair number of questions apparently set up for Isaacs to go through, and you can email toby-at-olcv-dot-org to submit your own question. Head on over! And if you still need more convincing that the Leg did the right thing, OCPP's Chuck Sheketoff uses the state's December Revenue report to explain why.
