It isn't surprising that corporations are circling their wagons; here in Oregon we have the lowest corporate taxes in the US, and corporations want to keep it that way. In fact, that tax rate is abysmally low, and we can see that in our communities: our schools are underfunded; many of our citizens-- both young and old-- have unmet health care needs; demand for senior services is growing and yet these corporations fail to acknowledge their responsibility to contribute to the lives of the communities around them. 

The fact that big corporations are already leaning on the non-profits they donate to by trying to silence their support for Measure 97 is indicative of what we are going to see in the future months. Mega-corporations will pay millions to fight this measure rather than pay their fair share and support the human beings in the state they exist in. We Oregonians work for you. We Oregonians deserve better. I'm looking forward to this measure passing, for everyone's sake.
