Measure 28: crowd
supports tax hike

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.

Poison: rockets hold nerve agent

technology and more accurate
unit location data, we have improved
our analysis of potential exposures to
individuals whose units were near
Khamisiyah during the demolition of
Iraqi weapons... It is unlikely that
you were exposed even to very low
levels of chemical agent.”
Background released from the
Office of Secretary of Defense about
Khamisiyah includes the following:
•Khamisiyah was attacked but
In
sustained minimal damage during the
Air War.
•100 bunkers and warehouses
were later demolished on March 4
and 10, 1991.
•The March 4 demolition includ
ed a bunker of 122mm rockets filled
with nerve agents.
•Modeling by the CIA indicates
that the chemical agent was most
likely dispersed in a direction away
from troop locations.
•The March 10 demolition
of/fly
ntS
included 122mm rockets crated and
stacked in an open “pit.”
•Unaware that these rockets con
tained nerve agents, soldiers attempt
ed to destroy the rockets in the open
air. This potentially exposed troops
in the area.
“It’s pretty intense to be aware of
this information,” said Campbell.
“Campbell suggested reading
American Ground Zero: The Truth
about Nuclear War” by Carole
Gallagher.
