"The people who are most active at the national level are quite persuasive in making the argument that it's better in 2016, and it's better if people really have a chance to put together a proposal that reflects what Oregon wants and needs. If we have a second unsuccessful proposal, that's going to muddy the waters and set it back. If instead, we really do it right in Oregon, and it's timed with California, I think it's an absolute game-changer. Not just a game-changer—it's almost game over." —Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.)
