Measure 66:
If you feel like raising our income tax for the top 30% of income earners will help the over all financial health of our state vote yes. If you believe there are other options then just raising taxes and only on the top earners, then vote no.

Measure 67:
First off I am in agreement that the Corporate tax in Oregon should be fixed. Now we have to decide if 67 is a fix or not.

If you believe a small tax increase on LLCs, Partnerships and S Corporations and a larger increase on C Corporations is good decision for the financial health of our state vote yes.
If you believe Oregon Businesses will simply move that cost down the line, at the cost of jobs and higher prices for consumers then vote no. Even if you agree that it should be fixed and do not like how this has been written, then vote no.
