State Measures
OPPOSE MEASURE 115 - Allow the legislature to impeach elected state executives.
This measure opens the door for tyranny. This measure would allow lawmakers to impeach and remove statewide elected officials, like the governor or secretary of state, removing that power from the people.
OPPOSE MEASURE 116 - Creates an independent public service commission to set wages for specified officials.
This measure is an unnecessary change that could reduce transparency and increase costs. Keep compensation decisions in the hands of accountable ELECTED officials.
OPPOSE MEASURE 117 - Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) for federal and state offices.
RCV is a misguided change to our election procedures that undermines voter rights and invites corruption. It violates the constitutional principle of “one voter, one candidate, one vote” by forcing voters to rank ALL candidates, even those that they don’t know or support. Key issues with RCV: Requires multiple rounds of counting, increasing error risk, makes post-election audits nearly impossible, discards some voters’ choices in each round.
There is an Opposition Statement in the Statewide Voter Pamphlet under the name Karen Banks.
OPPOSE MEASURE 118 - TAX INCREASE - Corporate tax revenue rebate for residents.
This measure proposes a 3% corporate tax increase to fund an annual rebate of $1600. The long-term consequences of this measure would be severe to businesses and consumers in Oregon, as it would likely increase costs of goods and services, along with potential loss of jobs as businesses relocate. This measure will harm Oregon’s economy and could ultimately cost residents more than the rebate provides.
OPPOSE MEASURE 119 - Unionization of Cannabis Workers.
Prevents cannabis employers from sharing their opinions on unions.
County Measures
OPPOSE 9-173 - Expand County Commissioners from 3 to 5 members.
This would increase annual payroll by $304,000, not including additional benefits. This unnecessary expansion burdens taxpayers. An increase in commissioners would diminish transparency, as current quorum rules require all discussions to take place in public meetings.
There is an Opposition Statement in the County Voter Pamphlet.
OPPOSE 9-174 - Redmond School District Bond.
This is a bond request for $97.7 million dollars. The current levy is set to expire and instead of letting the homeowners feel relief, this measure would continue to cost $2.45 per 1,000 assessed valuation.
