All the Measure 97 opponents had to do was use those words many times in each and every commercial, and they knew what would happen. I'm hoping voters will look beneath all the fear-mongering and focus on the good this measure would bring to children, schools, health care and seniors, with little to no financial impact on taxpayers in general. I've read every argument pro and con in the voters pamphlet, and I'm voting yes. Have a sort of sick feeling it won't pass, in which case the $18 million or so the big corps have put into their campaign will, I suppose, be worth it to them. I, however, do not anticipate my taxes or costs of goods and services will decrease one iota. In fact, I'm guessing they are going to continue to increase. Funny how that works...

Thanks as always for your post.
