This would allow the legislature to play its role as a balance to the executive and judicial branch. More importantly, it would help curb the excesses of the "have your cake and eat it too" Oregon ballot initiative system.  Where else can you chose to have larger benefits, kicker checks ,government programs AND reduce your taxes? I'm tired of Oregon being the petri dish for special interest groups, from both sides, trying to set legislative precedent for a national agenda. Thank you for having this show.
