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.

    I’ve heard from multiple places that the text of the bill has some pretty big drawbacks, specifically enough that the governor has come out against it. I can understand the impact to businesses but it has such clear social benefits.

    If the text is bad, let the legislatures pass an amendment or a new measure for us to vote on. They bungled the drug decriminalization rollout so I’m not ready to let them kill another good policy. I refuse to throw in the towel on progressive policies. Let’s do referendums every year and force the change the people or Oregon want.
