Oh, how they hate Measure 37.  As is generally the case, it turns out that you were too stupid to realize the consequences of your actions.  Voters overwhelmingly favored the measure, and so the only conclusion to be drawn is that voters are overwhelmingly stupid.  This means that "fixing" Measure 37 must fall to the Oregon legislature, who in their infinite wisdom, will find ways to disable the measure or overturn it entirely.  They can find ways to do this because they're really smart folks.  Apparently, the fact that these really smart folks happened to be elected to office by the very same stupid jackasses who passed Measure 37 can be conveniently overlooked.

This is Oregon politics at its finest:  voters reject light-rail expansion - twice - and politicians just shrug, call them dumbasses, and find ways to steal money to build them anyway.  Voters say that they want control of their purchased property.  Politicians shrug, call them dumb, and try to find ways to undermine the will of the people.

And they'll have the audacity to come begging for your vote to keep them in office.
