CALENDAR
January is near which means so is the vote on Measure 101 — a hospital and
health insurance tax that funds Medicaid. The Democratic Party of Lane County
is hosting a phone bank on Saturday, Dec. 21 and needs around 20 volunteers to
make calls informing voters about the January ballot measure. DPLC Chair Chris Wig
says new and experienced volunteers are welcome. He says the measure is import-
ant because, “If it fails, 350,000 Oregonians could lose their health care coverage.”
He adds, “Calls that we are making make a really big difference because this is an
issue that most people haven’t heard about. People are happy to hear from us, and
they need to know this information.”
A “yes” vote on the measure the tax will stay in place, which passed in the 2017
legislative session. Wig says if people have questions about the measure, they can
email community@dplc.org.
The phone bank runs from 5:30 pm until 8 pm on Friday, Dec. 22 at the DPLC office
at 224 E. 11 Ave. FREE. — Corinne Boyer
