(SALEM – AP) - Tax activist Bill Sizemore had his hand in three of the five statewide initiative petitions submitted today for early-signature verification. Each stands a good chance of getting on the November ballot.

The three would bar barring insurance companies from using customer credit ratings to set rates, cut individual state income taxes by allowing use of a federal exemptions on state tax returns and require regional election of Oregon Supreme Court and Court of Appeals judges.

The fourth would bar governments from condemning property on behalf of private owners.

The fifth, submitted by unions, would require large corporations to divulge the share of taxes and expenses attributed to their Oregon operations.

Each of the five petitions has more than enough to make the ballot if enough of the signatures are valid. Sponsors have until July 7th to get more if they need to.
