An effort to criminalize the killing of animals for food in Oregon is a step closer to being on the November ballot. IP-28 would make it illegal to injure or kill animals and would effectively ban hunting, fishing and the breeding of animals. katu.com/news/local/oregon-i…

Oregon Where IP 28 (The PEACE act) is making its way to the November ballot, which would make it illegal to hunt, fish, breed livestock or even kill rats. But You can get an elective abortion at 28 weeks.

As an Oregonian: Our rising costs on electricity, water & basics aren't because of Trump — they're from our own state's failed leadership. Oregon electricity rates are up ~50% since 2020 (PGE/Pacific Power), with another 5% hike in 2026 adding ~$8/month. Drivers? Green energy mandates, wildfire costs, grid upgrades for data centers, and bloated spending — not national policy. oregoncapitalchronicle.com Water/sewer bills climbing 6-8%+ yearly in places like Portland for "infrastructure" and operations. energyinfo.oregon.gov Our unemployment stuck at 5.2% (vs. national ~4.3%), with job losses in key sectors while the U.S. grows. State budget deficits force more taxes, regs & rate hikes to cover overspending. opb.org National inflation challenges exist (energy/groceries up amid global factors like the Iran conflict), but in Oregon, state Dem priorities — aggressive renewables, heavy regulation, unchecked admin bloat — hit families hardest. Stop blaming DC for Portland/Salem's failures. Oregonians deserve relief from local overreach, not more excuses. #OregonEconomy #CostOfLiving

IP 28 is an attack by Tina Kotek's allies on Oregon's economy and our way of life. Banning hunting, fishing, and basic animal husbandry would kill thousands of jobs and threaten our food supply at a time when we can least afford it.
