One guest went on at length about the initiative process. Specifically saying that it should be made more difficult (more signatures) to shop titles. How does she square this view with her action in the last legislature where they first polled titles, then wrote one and specifically exempted it from judicial review?

She also suggested that the 5 largest contributors to measures/candidates be listed in the voters pamphlet. Again, how does she feel about the Sec. of States very recent decision to exempt Our Oregon, who spent almost $900,000 on the last election, to be excused from even reporting their expenditures?

What makes this question inappropriate? The Sec of State decided one of the largest contributors in the state does not have to report their receipts and expenditures, yet goes on to fine people for overlooking contributions in their reports of just a few hundred dollars. Do these candidates feel this is a correct decision, or are they even familiar with it?
