OR - Opponents of the proposed cigarette-tax increase on Oregon's Nov. 6 ballot filed a lawsuit in Marion Circuit Court that seeks to prevent a public vote on the health-care funding measure.
The complaint was filed by an attorney representing state Sen. Jeff Kruse, R-Roseburg, two tobacco retailers and others. The lawyer has represented the tobacco industry in the past.
