It all really boils down to, we are not voting on one issue. We are voting on do we want to continue with Oregon’s governance, or do we want Idaho’s governance?

Do we want what the west side wants or do we want what the east side wants, our values, our laws enforced, our children’s education and that we are listened to and considered by our government with our needs prioritized?

With all matters considered, Eastern Oregon would benefit and prosper under Idaho’s governance.
