Letter to the editor: Vote Republican

Last year Oregon, and specifically Portland, lost a company that had annual gross revenue of $40 million. This company had many local suppliers and employees.

Today the building is vacant because of over-regulation from city, county and state government people who sponge off the backs of business.

The company packed up and moved to Georgia, which is a business friendly state. If government makes doing business in Oregon difficult, the companies will move!

Have they, the rule makers, ever owned or created a business? Do they know what it takes to risk their money, or investors’ wealth to actually produce something that other people want to purchase?

No… all government wants is more revenue for more regulators, more retirements, more entitlements, for more sponges.

Vote NO on Measure 97, a bill that will destroy business, take your job away, make health care and food incredibly more expensive and ruin Oregon.

Oregonians deserve better from their legislators. Vote conservative, vote strictly Republican and make them do right by YOU.
