Lift Oregon is not only bargaining with the legislature as to how 114 will be implemented, they are preparing to get the legislature to write and pass more laws this upcoming session.
Apparently it is common for initiative petition authors to be involved in the implementation. However, by my way of thinking, they composed text that the voters fell for (under a sweet and misleading ballot title) and their chance at influence should stop at that, They should have earned no title to Lobbyism or promotion tantamount to election as Legislators by that effort. They wrote it - period. Adios.
The measure imposes a severe cost in money to the State and its subdivisions yet Lift Oregon pays none of it because of their tax free status. So, why even speak with them regarding 114 looking forward? Deal with their damage within the established circles of government and fix what can be. fixed by the effort solely of the ELECTED representatives (including Sheriffs).
Here is what Lift Oregon has in mind:
Have a nice day
