Oregon Public Broadcasting

Ever feel like you could use some common sense help sorting out this year's ballot measures?

Elliot Shuford and Tyrone Reitman have a project for you.   They're two young reformers who will convene a citizen jury.

The aim is to see what happens when a small group of randomly selected Oregonians meets to do some research, and assess whether ballot measures will work as advertised. 

As they explained to me, they're doing a test drive this year, on just one item, Measure 58.

Reitman and Shuford say they're asking the citizen jury to produce a recommendation to help voters sort through election season spin.
