Supporters submitted more than 120,000 signatures today in an effort to put a repeal of Oregon’s estate tax on the Nov. 6 ballot.
The effort was bankrolled by Common Sense for Oregon, which is led by Kevin Mannix, Salem lawyer and former legislator. It generally supports conservative causes.
Sponsors will need 87,213 valid signatures to qualify the measure for the ballot.
