Great account of the history of this latest legislative trickery. It will be squeezed through and the typical Oregonian--unaware that anything is happening in Salem, wherever that is--will suck it up. Oregon will continue to be the poor relative stuck between CA and WA. The best and brightest will continue to be creamed off by places where you can be an actual entrepreneur, since the state's only growth industries (unions, nonprofits, real estate tax-free scams, a tottering health system) do nothing to increase productivity--instead, they soak it up.
Portland? It'll continue to be a reservation for narcissistic political cultists, hollow at the core, a place only for the rich and the state-supported poor. Just another loser town that thought it was exempt from the winner-take-all world. When you start feeling sorry for a town, you know it's over.
Thank you again Pamela. It’s all very disturbing. I keep hoping for the future when HONEST elections return to Oregon and they will all be booted to the curb
State and local taxes are the highest in the nation for Portlanders. Do you really want to exacerbate that and drive more people to AZ and Texas? Is there no limit to this?
When my fellow Democrats act with very little democracy!

So the three biggest socialist losers were put on that committee. Well, Pham is a Communist so two socialists and a Commie.
Who the hell came up with the rules in Salem (i.e. removing a member and replacing with another)?
Oregon gets dumber everyday.
I wonder how many more Oregonians will be leaving the state if this passes? 🙄
I had no intentions of leaving but I am starting to see that an exit strategy may be necessary.
We may not have moved far enough. We got out of Portland but now these taxes are going to start affecting the entire State. 🤨
The Commie counties will bring down the entire state.
Very little of this money will actually go to transportation. The winners will be PERS and leftists looking for their grift money.
Death is almost preferable to that of watching the Democrats constantly poop all over the people and our beautiful State.

Actually for Portlanders making over $250 K for a married couple. Not disagreeing with your overall premise.
When Guv Tina starts opposing Pre School for All because of the tax burden, you know things are pretty bad!
