Oregon Ballot Measures 41 and 48 (2006)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oregon ballot measures 41 and 48 were two unsuccessful measures sponsored by the Taxpayers Association of Oregon in 2006.
Measure 41 would have restricted the amount of money the State government could raise through income tax, by allowing taxpayers to claim a credit for Federal income taxes.
Measure 48 (a version of the Taxpayer Bill of Rights) would have restricted the amount of money the State could spend in its annual budget.
TAO received 94% of its funding from Illinois-based Americans for Limited Government, which sponsored similar measures in numerous states in 2006. Opposing groups also pooled their resources in pushing for the defeat of both measures.[1]
