Ted Tax & gouge me says that a sales tax is needed.
Kulongoski, once again demonstrates to the people of Oregon just how out of touch he is with the needs and wants of the people.
" We need to have a tax system that provides stability over the long term... That would include, Kulongoski said, "a substantial reduction in the income tax, and looking at a consumption tax of some kind. "
I don't know what rock sleepy Ted has been hiding under, but he is definitely out of touch with reality.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - we could save a lot of money, and probably balance the budget, if salaries for Senators and Congressmen were required to go to the public for a vote. NO SALES TAX!
I'm not "no sales tax" (primarily because I'd like to hit the tourists up for funding), but unless he's planning on reducing the income tax to, oh, 2 or 3% (at the very highest), he can forget it.
I favor a tax on Californians moving up here.
It'd be politically acceptable, and has the dual benefits of raising some revenue and discouraging further colonization.

I'm not willing to give them any more money until they can prove to me that they have spending under control.
I heard on the radio today on the way home that they are thinking about raising money to fund the jail through utility rates in Springfield.
My average utility bill is $230 a month already. that is ridiculous.
instead of spending millions of dollars on a stupid high speed [choke] bus line, let's use the money to fund public safety.
A lot of times I'm just sickened about our priorities
The EasyMoneyXpress is a collosal waste of money. So are the new bus stations that offer no protection in winter, the millions spent on the Ferry St. bridge that offers no more lanes, the Defazio bike bridge that isn't necessary and the new federal courthouse. I'm 56 and I've only been in the fed.courthouse once to deliver Senator Smith his pathetic immigration report card.
Bob, I agree. they cry "WOLF" a lot about lack of funding, but they sure don't seem to have any problems finding money for all the "other" projects that "they" want. hummm
Hey, Robin, Surly you knew prior to his stupid statement about a sales tax that Teddy the K was out of touch with reality, didn't you. He just merely proved it once again.
Funny that they need money to fund the jail. The prisoners call it the 'gray bar hotel' because they pay to stay there. So why do we need more funds? What happens to the $60 a day the prisoners are charged? I don't think it goes for maid service or catering.
I think we should tax Californians that use PO Boxes for addresses so they don't have to pay CA sales tax for huge purchases like motor homes. No wonder CA is in the red. Their citizens are cheating!
