Oregon does not have a sales tax, so they got to get money from somewhere. Personally I would prefer raising gas tax to pay for roads.

Oregon, like most Dem states, does not have a revenue problem. They have a spending problem. This probably won’t fly with the Feds (under a Trump Administration at least), but they’ve got tons of new taxes they’re looking at, including:

A sales tax on motor vehicles
A sales tax on bicycles with a value over $200
Increases in DMV fees for registration & titling
Increases in the gas tax, already at 30 cents per gallon
A statewide employee payroll tax to subsidize public transit.

The list goes on & on...

Perhaps not, but they do have a pretty darn high income tax. Where is all that money going?

“Oregon does not have a sales tax, so they got to get money from somewhere. “

Montana, where I reside, does not have a sales tax either.

We live within our means. Oregon, not so much...

Resist your urge to tax and spend.
