Really, really long list of bills to be introduced and they waited until Friday. I am working on it.
There are 2 initiatives that if passed will not have to go to the ballot and 3 constitutional amendments that if passed will be on the ballot.
The initiatives are competing gun control issues.
594 wants more background checks - this is not an issue, keeping track of the people they already know are dangerous doesn't happen and that is an issue. OPPOSE
591 restricts taking of firearms without due process and forbids background checks past federal standards. SUPPORT
4211 changes the constitution to require a 3/5 vote of both houses to raise taxes like the voters keep passing but the court said we can't. SUPPORT
4213 creates term limits for legislators. This can be a mixed bag, but there are only a few people we would like to stay compared to the opposite so SUPPORT
4212 is emergency powers. I need to do more research on this one. Yes, we need to be prepared, but considering who is in power, not sure they don't already have enough power. We have survived thus far without it and through a world war when a shell landed in Oregon.
