Measure 48 limits increases in the state budget. The cap would be determined by adding the rate of population growth to the rate of inflation.

Supporters say this would help the state reduce waste and operate more efficiently. Opponents say the measure could lead to less money for essential government services such as education, public safety and heathcare.

This week, you'll hear from both sides of this state spending limit measure measure.

Host: Christy George

Guests: Lynn Lundquist, president of Oregon Business Association (opposes Measure 48), and Steve Buckstein, senior policy analyst for Cascade Policy Institute (supports Measure 48).
