Hey Folks,
I have sat through several city and county meetings where government officials have knowingly lied about Urban Renewal districts taking money from school districts. The following article from the Oregonian will validate the fact that politicians are taking money away from the education of our children---all for the practice of crony capitalism. The government is taking your tax dollars and putting it into the pockets of wealthy developers, which create unintended perversions in the natural market. It is time to end the fraudulent taxing scheme of Tax Increment Financing and Urban Renewal….Rob T.

Oregon schools could recoup money lost to urban renewal under new law
SALEM -- School districts who lose tax revenue to urban renewal agencies could recoup the losses in the future, thanks to a bill passed unanimously by the Oregon Senate today.
House Bill 2632 would prevent roughly 100 urban renewal agencies across the state from collecting property tax money from levies approved by voters after January 2013.
