How hard they're fighting this?I saw two opposing views that were nearly identical from two agencies with a history of astroturfing (and by the looks of the ISC response, I don't think they even looked at it other than to fill in the blanks of a form letter), and one opinion from the Department of Administrative Services that doesn't seem to realise that spyware is a bad thing (second point under "How this bill changes law.")
Given the opposing response, and knowing Oregon's tendancy try and go against the ignorant, I'd say this has a good chance of passing (even if it won't go through congress anywhere nearly as fast as the 70 MPH speed limit bill, which the Oregon House of Representatives passed today). This shouldn't stop Oregonians from contacting thier congresscritters about this matter.
