Support

Many legislators as well as veteran's groups rallied around this measure, saying that it was the "right thing to do" for Oregonians who have served their country. They also point out that it will cost the state nothing, as the funds are taken from mortgage payments from people who have received home loans, and not from taxpayer money. ^[3]
