One of the changes that have been suggested to a state task force that is considering tax code changes, is to vastly reduce property taxes, and or eliminate them altogether for homes that are worth less than $1 million.
The catch?
You have to agree to pay 6% sales tax.
The task force won't release any recommendations until the end of the year, however, pollsters have told the panel that Oregonians are unlikely to support the creation of a sales tax unless other taxes are eliminated.
not to mention the fact that we have told them nine times that we DON'T want a sales tax at all."
Of course, if you don't like the idea of a 6% sales tax, how about a 5% sales tax in exchange for a $25,000 property tax exclusion?
let's see... the last time that a sales tax looked like it might become a reality, all of a sudden (yet not unexpectedly) the city of Eugene chimed in by stating that it would add a "city sales tax" to the mix.
The county of course, not wishing to be left out, wanted to also add a county tax.
So once we allow ANY sales tax to get started, it just opens up a Pandora's box and a feeding frenzy for new taxes.

As long as RINOS such as Frank Morse, Scott Bruun, Vicki Berger, etc., are reelected, I can easily answer your question.
..."Where do these people keep coming from?"
From voters who keep electing RINOS!
I can't believe that they still keep trying. I thought NO meant NO!
