À January 22, 2003 The Clackamas Print Measure 28: crowd supports tax hike Continued from Page 1 close to .5 percent of your adjusted gross income. “Step up now!” was the most com mon phrase chanted by sign-wavers at the rally in support of schools. If approved, Measure 28 will offset the deficit by an estimated $313 mil lion statewide prior to June of 2003, and by an additional $410 million for 2003-05. Kris Kain, president of OEA, was the first of many to speak out about the situation. “We cannot expect the people in the building behind me to make the differ ence,” he said. “Oregonians just need to do the right thing.” The people who gathered at the rally all seemed to have the same com mon goal, to stop budget cuts. Whether passing a measure to increase income taxes or better fiscal planning by our own government is the answer, they all believe serious changes need to be made, and the voters are the people to make those changes.
