Vote Yes! on Measure 118, the Oregon Rebate
www.yesonmeasure118.com
Vote Yes! on Measure 118 to get yearly rebates of $1,600 for yourself and every Oregonian, kids included. A four person household will get over $6,400 every year. Paid for by making giant corporations pay their fair share.

I posted about this 3 months ago and it was $750–glad to see the measure is going for it. The $1,600 is per person, not household. Minors count.

Large corps ($25m in revenue minimum) pay.

    So wayyyyyyyyy back in the day, there was this thing called “Renter Refund”. Anyone who rented filed how much they paid in rent and got a portion kicked back by the state. I qualified for the very last year of it.

    In this case, I can’t tell what the $1,600 is for. Existing? So it’s a Robin Hood bill? Rob from the rich and give to everyone else? It’s sure to be popular, but I don’t see how it’s sustainable.

    I am against 118 as written. It’s a horrible idea. It would cause the loss of critical medical care in Oregon and drive inflation through the roof.

    This is a horrible idea. I’d like to see it tied more to the margin of the company and the money kept by the state. Use it to lower taxes, repair roads, etc.
