Measure 41

The Mail Tribune says "April 15 is closer than you think."
Today is October 15, the halway point to another date with Uncle Sam. If you aren't thinking about your taxes yet, you might want to start.
One good way to start (which of course the Mail Tribune doesn't mention) would be by voting yourself a tax cut.

Measure 41 is a simple as they get. How would you like a personal exemption of $3200 per family member instead of the measly $154 the State of Oregon allows?

You like it? Vote for it.

If you're so liberal that you think the State of Oregon can spend your money better than you can, then you can stick with the old deduction, even if Measure 41 passes. That's right, you'll have a choice. Keep the money, or send it to Salem.

I'll bet even the liberals (liberal adj. 1. giving generously) decide to keep it.
