That latter excuse is b.s. Better the general fund than raising taxes - especially this much tax revenue - for targeted projects.

Imagine if the IRS had to say that income tax was intended only specifically for road repairs or medicare. The money needs to go into the general fund.

But they keep saying it's going to schools and a couple other things. No it's not! They are lying. -- nm - Booooocon Oct 29, 19:57 6
- Are you conflating it with Measure 98? Sure, money from measure 97 could go to schools, or road work, or pensions, or whatever else needs it. - Mop Oct 29, 19:58 5
  - I got a yes 97 flyer in the mail. It said it was going to schools -- nm - Booooocon Oct 29, 20:00 4
    - Found the flyer. Money goes to Schools, Healthcare and Senior Services. No it doesn't have to go there. That is a lie. - Booooocon Oct 29, 20:03 2
      - Well, you can't say it *won't* go there... -- nm - Mop Oct 29, 20:07 1
        
        It won't because it's going to go down in flames - Bacon Oct 29, 22:19
    - We don't need money at the moment. Our unemployment is super low and we have a big influx of people moving here. - Booooocon Oct 29, 20:01
