This thread is for discussion on state races and ballot measures. Is your state legalizing or banning abortion? Weed? Ranked choice balloting?

This is the place to discuss it!

    I’m strongly in favor of 117. I like 118 in theory, but after reading it, I voted against it, because I think the end result would be to damage small Oregon businesses, while large conglomerates would be fine. I don’t want Walmarts to be the only businesses that can afford to operate here.

      Well, I don’t think anyone making more than $25 million a year is a “small business”, that’s $68,493.15 a day…

      It’s still an awful idea, but the idea that it would hurt small business is a smoke screen. :)
