From Oregon Catalyst and a post from Oregon Watch Dog.
Fuckers.

HJR 201 would:

• We can’t afford it!  Oregonians already pay higher taxes than most states.
• Removes current local control over property taxes from Counties/Cities by allowing new statewide property tax scheme without limits.
• This would allow Portland politicians to raise property taxes on rural Oregonians for their reckless spending.
• Removes current Constitutional limits on property tax rates (Measure 5) and assessment rates (Measure 50) with sneaky exceptions.
• Risk throwing seniors, the disabled and other limited income Oregonians out of their homes as property taxes become limitless.
• HJR 201 would be a referral to voters, because that is the only way politicians can remove/tinker with current Constitutional property tax limits that protect home owners.

Another good resource is Oregon Citizens Lobby.  I make it to the War Room every Thursday when the legislature is in session, and to the Coffee Clatch meetings Monday night.  Great way to meet like minded people, learn about what's going on at the capitol, how to write and submit testimony, and meet legislators at nearly every meeting.
