The state wants more of OUR money....

The Argus Observer

Facing a $3 Billion shortfall, state law makers will be looking at new ways to increase revenue through tax increases [No surprise there] and cutting programs.
"That is a very scary number in terms of reductions to the sorts of services Oregonians need,’’ R-Ontario, and co-chair Phil Barnhart said.
Several suggestions made were to increase the tax brackets for those making $125,000 or $150,000 and to decrease the federal deductions allowed on state tax returns.

I still say that they don't get it. times are really tough and the money tree is getting bare and adding MORE taxes will just cause the tree to die sooner.
