Ellen Lowe o f Ecumenical M inistries said, “ Deep budget cuts now being proposed could endanger the plan to bring basic coverage to more than one hundred thousand O regonians who are too poor to afford health care for their fam ilies. W e hope to co llect enough signatures by spring to con vince the Legislature to enact our m ea sure. W e want to get health care to people who need it now .” T he tobacco industry thwarted efforts to raise to bacco taxes in the last legislative ses sion.
