Oregon Measure 118 - $1,600 for every Oregonian, paid for by giant corps who mostly pay less taxes than you do. (www.yesonmeasure118.com)

I posted about this 3 months ago and it was $750--glad to see the measure is going for it. The $1,600 is per person, not household. Minors count.

Large corps ($25m in revenue minimum) pay.

So wayyyyyyyyy back in the day, there was this thing called "Renter Refund". Anyone who rented filed how much they paid in rent and got a portion kicked back by the state. I qualified for the very last year of it.

In this case, I can't tell what the $1,600 is for. Existing? So it's a Robin Hood bill? Rob from the rich and give to everyone else? It's sure to be popular, but I don't see how it's sustainable.

If you think we have a housing crisis now just wait until the $1600 per household rebate becomes law. I imagine there's a million ways to abuse this as well.
