CITIZENS' INITIATIVE REVIEW UNDERWAY
Posted: August 9th, 2010 5:31 AM


The Citizens' Initiative Review (CIR) of Ballot Measure 73 begins Monday, Aug. 9, at the Salem Conference Center and concludes Friday, Aug. 13.

Measure 73 requires increased minimum sentences for certain repeated sex crimes and incarceration for repeated driving under the influence.

On behalf of the Healthy Democracy staff and Board of Directors, I'd like to thank Harvey Platt for joining Healthy Democracy Oregon's Advisory Board. Mr. Platt joins a stellar group of advisors that we've relied on through thick and thin to move the Citizens' Initiative Review forward.  We're looking forward to his advice as we take the next big steps towards enacting the CIR. Here is some additional information about Mr. Platt.
