Oregon Democrats back down from ballot law change

SALEM (AP) - Democratic state lawmakers have abandoned a plan to change what a "yes" or "no" vote means when actions of the Legislature are referred to voters for approval.

The move came Friday after the referendum proposal was panned by Republicans, anti-tax groups and some newspaper editorials.

Democrats tacked an election law change onto an unrelated bill Wednesday night, making a "yes" vote in favor of rejecting a referendum, and a "no" vote against rejecting it.

So, Oregon's Dems are, in a nutshell, trying to set up a verbal trap that I've seen done in Bugs Bunny cartoons. Wow, Democrats sure are the party of nuance...
