text: Can anyone tell me why it is in some peoples thought process how losing 36-40 thousand private sector jobs for the gain of 17-20 thousand government jobs and the attached pers accounts is a good thing? And if somehow this passes. Will that mean the majority of voters just told 20 or so thousand friends and neighbors that are left with nothing after the state hires 17 plus thousand new pers members tough,we still got ours we don't care if your child is homeless. Not only is this sales tax slight of hand just a cash grab by public employees unions and bureaucrats we will know for sure how many mean and greedy people now reside in Oregon. But those thousands left jobless by the good voters of Oregon can find solace knowing all those new government jobs and their attached pers accounts are a lot better for the children.  And your friends and neighbors are delighted to provide you with bus service to welfare and food stamp recourses . Shut the door behind you Friend.
