Measure 49 Passes! Now What?
By Marissa Madrigal
Last night, for the first time in four years, this political staffer did NOT have a campaign to obsess over. Armed with a bag of cheesy pirate's booty and a mouse, the fam and I took in election results via the internets.
Measure 50, the statewide Children's Health Insurance measure, went down - more on what that means for Multnomah County's health clinics in a future post. But Measure 49, the statewide fix for the much maligned Measure 37 passed with surprisingly broad support.
In the next month or so, Multnomah County's attorneys and land-use specialists will be evaluating what the passage of Measure 49 will mean to the Measure 37 claims received by the county over the last few years, and devise a plan to address each claim in a timely manner. Check back here often for updates on how the process is unfolding. In the meantime, cheers to Multnomah County's farmland, forest and groundwater!
