Oregon Votes To Export Thousands Of High Paying Jobs

Measure 66 And 67 Passed On January 26, 2010:

“Measures 66 and 67 should be labeled Oregon’s Assisted Suicide Law II. They will allow us to watch a state slowly killing itself. They are anti-business, anti-success, anti-inspirational, anti-humanitarian, and most ironically, in the long run, they will deprive the state of tax revenue, not increase it…Reputable economists forecast 66 and 67 will cost the state thousands — maybe tens of thousands — of jobs, and that thousands of our most successful residents will leave the state.”

- Phil Knight, co-founder and chairman of Nike Inc., a company with 5,000 Oregon employees
