Terry,

I must say that the lack of sales taxes has been a real boon to Oregon businesses,......

Any talk of such a thing results in political suicide as I've witnessed such things for 45+ years.

Oregon has very high income and property taxes to bridge the gap but with the state's almost 9% unemployment, politicians are getting nervous.

 

...and apparently trying to divert attention from the important issues to non-issues is their way of managing the situation...sigh...

 

I'll make a bunch of calls too. Thanks.

 

Scary...with all of our wacko's running the state, could California be far behind?
