Anti-packaging campaign
continues despite ruling
By Rene DeCair
Emerald Reporter
Proponents of Measure 6 said
Wednesday their campaign to
mandate changes in product
packaging is alive and well, de
spite a judge's ruling that it is
invalid.
The group sponsoring the
measure. Consumers for Re
cycling. held a news confer
ence not only to dispel rumors
that the race was off but also to
"expose lies" in the campaign
against the measure, said Joel
Ario, the group's chairman.
Ario said he is optimistic
about keeping the measure on
the ballot. “We're quite confi
dent ... that this decision will
be reviewed by the courts," he
said.
Measure 6 is one of eight
measures that may be omitted
from the ballot in the Novem
ber election. A Marion County
judge declared ballot measures
4. 5, 7, It and 6 invalid earlier
this week because election offi
cials did not receive written
certification of fiscal impact
statements.
If the courts don't put the
measures back on the ballot.
Consumers for Recycling will
push the Legislature to call a
special session to settle the
matter. Ario said.
When asked if he thought
public response to the measure
would change because of the
furor over their validity. Ario
said, "The public is quite an
gry over this.”
He added, however, that he
believes it is unfair to point the
finger at elections officials.
Ario would not say who he
_^
thought was responsible, but
said. *'I think our opponents
ultimately shot themselves in
the foot."
Consumers for Recycling is
continuing its campaign; so is
its opposition. Oregon Commit
tee for Recycling, which ran a
television advertisement
against Measure 6 the day after
it was declared invalid.
"We're campaigning on the
basis that we will have a ballot
measure." said Cinny Burdick,
spokeswoman for the commit
tee.
Oregon Committee for Re
cycling claims Measure 6 is
merely a ban on packaging and
not a recycling initiative. " All
it does is ban packaging that
doesn't meet certain stan
dards.” Burdick said. "To do
an across the board ban is not
only costly, but it won’t do
anything for recycling."
Consumers for Recycling
counters that Measure 6 is nei
ther costly nor just a ban. It
says that the measure will save
taxpayers money because it
will cost between $500,000 and
$850,000, a third of the cost of
a recycling plan offered by the
state Department of Environ
mental Quality.
Consumers for Recycling also
argues that its proposal is not a
complete ban on packaging,
but a simple measure that
would require packaging to
meet one of three standards.
Ario said that the Oregon
Committee for Recycling,
"can’t run the same kind of
scare tactics against recycling
(in Oregon) that they do in oth
er states" because Oregonians
are familiar with recycling.
