PANELISTS REACH CONCLUSIONS ON MEASURE 73

From The Statesman Journal:

After a week of hearing arguments, asking questions of experts and discussing it among themselves, Rocky Krokus of Portland and Barbara Ogden of Klamath Falls came down on opposite sides of Measure 73 in the Nov. 2 election.
Krokus spoke Friday for 21 members of a citizen panel opposed to the ballot initiative increasing minimum sentences for repeat felony sex offenders and jailing repeat drunken drivers. Ogden spoke for three members supporting it.
Krokus said the measure would be costly and have unintended consequences.
