Reject mining measure

rent mining law stand, and reject
Measure 14.“
Business, Labor and Agriculture Agree:
“Measure 14 is the kind of law that hurts every Oregonian by adding bureaucracy and red tape, costing taxpayers millions. Don’t vote
for a law that was drafted without public input. We don't need Measure 14. '
Richard Butrick, Associated Oregon Industries, representing over 13,000 small businesses
“I’m skeptical of initiatives drafted by a small, narrow interest group for the purpose of devastating a single industry, like Measure 14
will do to mining in Eastern Oregon. Measure 14 is a bad law that is not good for our state and will hurt people. Vote NQ on 14.”
Irv Fletcher, President, Oregon A FL -C IO , representing over 120,000 working people
“I urge a NQ vote on Measure 14. If STOP'M stops mining, they could target other industries, like farming, next. Join us in voting
NQ on 14.”
Doug Breese, President, Oregon Farm Bureau, representing over 15,000 family farmers
Don’t pass a bad law... vote NO on 14.
