Do you really think so? I disagree with you; I think the failure of Measure 30 would send a great message to the rest of the country, to whit: "We don't believe you, legislators of (choose your state), when you say that more revenue is needed. We want you to keep cutting services until you can prove that we need what's left when you're done cutting!"
Or this message: "Let our school system go downhill. If families with kids don't like it, they can move to another state with better schools and better teachers!"
Or this message: "Why should we care about PUBLIC safety? I'm safe. Isn't that what matters most?"
Or maybe even this message: "If somebody is disabled, then it certainly won't matter if it takes the state a few extra days to process their welfare check. After all, they aren't really contributing to society as much as a normal person."
Oregonians should send a clear message. Go Beavers! Go Ducks!
