| Grant Pass: Have you voted yet? |
Important deadline to vote on the Recall. Ballots due 9/12. |
|
|
Earlier this month, the Oregon Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade announced the decision to uphold voter-approved Ballot Measure 113! In response to Republican complaining about the measure's wording, Griffin-Valade affirmed that legislators who had ten or more unexcused absences in a legislative session will be disqualified from running for re-election. She said, “My decision honors the voters’ intent by enforcing the measure the way it was commonly understood when Oregonians added it to our state constitution.”

And -- Status of Measure 114 |
Oregonians made their preferences for stronger gun safety laws clear last November when they passed Ballot Measure 114. Since then, firearm groups, sheriffs, and gun store owners have challenged Measure 114 with lawsuits. Recently, a federal judge ruled that Measure 114 is constitutional, affirming that Oregon can ban the sale or manufacturing of large-capacity magazines and require a permit to purchase a gun. The judge stated that the measure aligns with previous decisions to protect public safety by regulating uniquely dangerous weapons.
But... Measure 114 is still facing challenges at the state level. Stay tuned. |
