We must remember that these Measure 97 victims are real people with real financial pain being heaped upon them.

The utilities are already saying Measure 97 will likely lead to a 5% utility increase which will raise costs across the board.

Grocery stores will see their their total tax burden triple in size. This will have a terrible impact on prices and it is seniors who will pay the price.

We bring you these stories because it is easy to forget how vulnerable many Oregonians really are. We don’t always see them or hear their stories. High taxes come at serious sacrifice to people’s lives. These seniors are people who can’t afford a huge tax cost increase.
