Oregon: More petition signatures turned in, few measures may make ballot
The latest monthly turn-in of paid petition signatures for Oregon initiatives still shows a relatively small number of measures are likely to make it on the November ballot. Under a new law, petitioners are required every month to turn in signatures gathered by paid petitioners (the major form of signature-gathering for citizen initiatives in Oregon). The latest figures from the Oregon secretary of state leads me to list three measures that are now in the almost-certain-to-make-it-on-the-ballot category.
