I'm mailing my ballot today.

Yes on 66 and 67.

Of course, I'm a teacher, and I'd like to keep my job. We already RIF'd 43 teachers in my small district last spring, and went to a 4-day school week, and we are looking at having to cut double what we did then if these don't pass. :(

2. It doesn't just raise taxes on the rich and corporations but LOWERS tax for us unemployed!

You don't pay Oregon state tax on the first $2400 of unemployment benefits if this passes.

5. That's good news.

I don't think any unemployment benefits should be taxed, personally.

6. I dropped mine at the library the day after I got it!

And the beautiful blue bin was packed full! Considering the location, I assume that they were all "Yes" votes.

On the other side, however, Phil Knight got a whiny editorial printed in Sunday's Oregonian, complaining how Oregon is so anti-business, and these measures will just drive even more of them away from our state.

Hey, Phil? You're employing about 800,000 people in sweatshops in southeast Asia. Your money-grubbing ass left Oregon a long time ago!
