Our Oregon, a liberal group backed primarily by public-employee unions, has agreed to withdraw 10 proposed measures that would increase taxes on corporations and the wealthy. The group had said it would decide later which of the 10 to move forward with. Last month, Kitzhaber also brokered a compromise between hospitals and the union representing their workers.
