Cliff Thomason of Grants Pass is chief petitioner for a statewide measure titled the "Lottery Local Control Act".
From the site
LotteryLocalControl:
The Oregon Lottery Local Control Act will send 50% of the Oregon Lottery net proceeds back to the counties from which they were generated. Counties can use the revenue to help fund: public education, economic development, providing for public safety, restoring native fish and wildlife, or protecting parks and beaches. Every Oregon county will benefit from more local control.
Petitions are available, and it's time to begin gathering signatures. Please visit
