A Small Price to Pay
Measure 30 Asks Little of Most Oregonians
In February, Oregonians will vote on a revenue package adopted by the 2003 Legislative Assembly in an effort to balance the budget and avoid deeper budget cuts in vital programs. If Measure 30 fails, education, public safety, and human services programs will be cut by $790 million in the current state budget.
Cuts of this magnitude will impact all Oregonians, while the increased taxes under Measure 30 are small for most taxpayers.
