Progressive Douchebags almost passed law saying "a measure is considered adopted if it is rejected by the people"

Reason mag pointed out that the Oregon House, anticipating defeat in a public referendum on its tax increase plan, inserted cunning language into the bill stating that a successful public referendum to defeat the tax increase would actually approve the tax increase, and an unsuccessful one would defeat it.

Lies lies lies, typical progressive douchebag Democrat lies.

"A measure referred to the people by referendum petition may not be adopted unless it receives an affirmative majority of the total votes cast on the measure rejecting the measure. For  purposes of this subsection, a measure is considered adopted if it is rejected by the people."

I believe the formal name of the measure was the "FUCK YOU PEOPLE" rule.
