The Oregon Legislature is embroiled in budget battles and it appears that both the Citizens United Repeal measures introduced in the House and Senate will die without a vote yet again, which is a real shame. I would have wished for a real push on those measures and at least have a vote. The Oregon Legislature has never voted on the issue despite having measures introduced last year and again this year.
UPDATE 06/17/13 I discovered that there are several parallel measures in the Legislature, and the issues raised in the House Memorial Resolution 5 are essentially duplicated in House Memorial Resolution 6, which is moving forward and will be discussed in the House Rules Committee today. Maybe there is hope after all.
Here is a Link to the Bill and a link to the bill text of HJM 6.. The text was amended for clarity and passed the House Rules Committee with a recommendation for passage in the House.
Update 6/24/13 HJM 6 was introduced in the House on Friday, 6/21/13 and passed 48 - 11. Victory in sight.
