A Shiv from the future: Measure 30, a compromise passed by the Oregon legislature to fund state programs by temporarily raising income taxes, will fail today when put to the vote of the public, proving yet again, that even when they pass legislation successfully, the Oregon legislature is wholly ineffective.
