In just a couple of months, Oregonians will be voting on Measure 104, one of the most important issues to ever hit our state. Measure 104 ensures that any legislation that raises revenue requires a three-fifths majority vote. This includes fees or the elimination of tax exemptions, deductions or credits - making it clear that Oregonians are done with politicians working behind closed doors to increase taxes.
Last month, the OSCC Board of Directors voted to support this game-changing measure! We're urging everyone to take steps to turn out every YES vote this November to end the game-playing we've seen over the last few years by state lawmakers.
