Nago explains the Ballot shortage

[csgray]

Oregon is a relatively easy and cheap place to get initiatives on the ballot and advertising is relatively cheap. National special interest groups use it as a testing ground for initiatives they want to push in places like California that are far more expensive and complicated to places to get the initiative on the ballot and passed. So Oregon gets flooded with initiatives.

I wish the Women's League of Voters was more active here, in some states they produce wonderful non partisan election materials, but I was told by one member here that they have trouble getting Hawaii candidates, especially neighbor island candidates, to respond to their surveys and position questions.
