After listening to a debate about the tax measures last night, I felt more than ever if you care about providing services for Oregonians you'll vote yes on the tax measures. . I personally don't want to see an increase in cuts in social services . I don't want to see the 1 in 6 people who receive food stamps having to do with even less nor the measly mental health programs being cut even more or the program for seniors whittled away to nothing. The rich can pay the higher taxes easily, and our tax base has favored the big businesses for a long time, they can afford paying more.
