#oregon #kicker
back in 1979, the republican controlled state legislature created the only-in-oregon "kicker" to ensure the state was always just poor enough to almost get by with whatever the problem of the day was. from that day until today, keeping the "dems" from spending surplus state revenue has been the priority of the oregon g.o.p.
I don't have a nuanced position on this -- spouse was cos for the democrat legislator who chaired the state ways-and-means committee in the lege and its wicked stupid to keep saying "the tax payers know best", when in fact we don't, not being privy to the state's data.
