Defenders of the proposal pointed to Oregon's 12% unemployment rate at the time (which has lowered to a still-record high 10%) largely caused because of contractions in the housing sector and construction industry, part of the lifeblood of the state. Recently, environmentalists have pointed to the catastrophic waterslides caused by heavy rains and the fact that the speed of global warming will harm, not simply generations of the future, but even generations in the here and now, given the rate of the climbing temperatures caused by destruction of forest land.
