Nikki Fried: “You know, all of the things for our most vulnerable portions of our society, they cut corners.”

An energized Democratic base, independents breaking with us 60, 70%, and a diminished Republican turnout in energy … that’s a winning equation.

This is a scam that would either raise other taxes on working families or rob their communities of essential services like public hospitals, EMTs, fire rescue, disaster preparedness, road maintenance, children services, libraries and parks.

The Republicans have already said that they will sue us, and so we would be prepared for a legal challenge to overturn that statute as being unconstitutional.

Right now, the Republicans have a nasty primary for governor that is going to decrease their motivation to turn out in November.
