"We are feeling that it is probably going to fail," said Nellie Franklin, whose son is a senior at Burns High School in southeastern Oregon. "I thought, maybe people will start realizing this is real, but they are still thinking, 'Oh they have the money ratholed away somewhere.'"

Actually Oregonians are thinking that the state legislature continues to waste too much of the taxpayer's money. So why should the taxpayers give them even more money to waste by voting for a tax increase?

Actually Oregonians are thinking that the state legislature continues to waste too much of the taxpayer's money.

The question therefore should be: Is the state government/state legislature of Oregon wasting too much of the taxpayer's money? And if they don't think they are (wasting the taxpayer's money), can the taxpayers show them where it's being wasted?

I don't know if they can; it would be nice if they could. Then the state legislature wouldn't have to cut people off from their Oregon Health Plan benefits, among other things that will be automatically cut when Measure 30 fails.

Ok, what's the waste? Where is it? Can you name some programs? I doubt it--most people who spout that kind of rhetoric are simply regurgitating what Lars told them to think.
