Oregon voters Tuesday passed Measure 49, which scales back land development, but said no to Measure 50, which would have raised tobacco taxes to pay for children's health care and other programs.

Measure 49 is a revision of the property rights law voters approved in 2004. Measure 50 would have raised the tax on a pack of cigarettes by 85 cents to pay for children's health care and other programs. Both measures were referred to voters by the 2007 Legislature.

With 96 percent of the vote counted, Hood River County results were similar to those reported statewide. Unofficial ballot results at 9:30 p.m. Tuesday showed Hood River County voters approving Measure 49 by a vote of 4,361 to 2,311 (65 percent to 35 percent). County voters were voting against Measure 50, which would raise cigarette taxes for children's health care. The vote was 3,040 to 3,653 (46 percent to 54 percent).
