former Portland trailblazer's now candidate for governor Chris Dudley acknowledges that in 1993 to 1997 he lived in Camas, Washington to avoid paying Oregon taxes, since Oregon has the highest personal income tax in the nation.
of course the Democrats are hammering Dudley over his actions.
" His choice impacted the education and public safety of the Oregonians who paid to watch him play basketball,” said Janet Van Wess, a Hillsboro teacher who spoke at the event. [and that has what to do with this? plus, if you follow that logic... then forget about ducks games.]
The DPO also estimates that Dudley may have shielded millions in income by claiming Washington residency."
Kitzhaber released a TV commercial last week stating Dudley " has never managed anything, never tried to create jobs, and never shown much interest in Oregon because [he] lived in Washington to avoid paying Oregon taxes."
I think the fact that Chris Dudley went to Washington to avoid paying taxes in Oregon shows that he personally is well aware of Oregon's high tax issues and that should be considered a positive thing.
Versus others who have their head in the sand and think that taxes are the answer to Oregon's economic issues.
