Oregon Ballot Measure 41 was on the November 7, 2006 ballot in Oregon as an initiated state statute, where it was defeated. It would have restricted the amount of money the Oregon government could raise through its state income tax, by allowing taxpayers to claim a credit on their state income tax return for the amount of money they paid to the federal government in income tax.
