At the Archimedes Movement we are trying to get people informed and engaged in this debate for the long haul, not because shrinking revenues aren't important, but because we don't see this measure solving Oregon's long term budget woes. So, whether this passes or fails, what happens the day after the election, when Oregon, like many other states, is still facing declining revenue and possible shortfalls? We believe we need to get Oregonians to understand the relationship between general fund revenues, where that money comes from (taxes) and how it is used - providing for public safety, education and health services. What do the panelists recommend happen the day after the election?
