If this issue was on the Oregon ballot, and it asked would you raise taxes to fund this I would vote no.
Good thing Republicans have no control in Oregon then? Am I right?
Actually that's not true in this case , as any time the state wants to raise taxes they are required to get approval from the voters.
In 2014 the state wanted to bail out people who had lots of student loan debt , but since it would require raising taxes to do so or going in debt they had to get approval from the voters , and the voters decided not to approve it .
