Bet someone on the city council has a brother in law who owns a solar panel company. Just watch as that $60 million magically disappears.

[heavy metal]

the only green in the new deal is the money involved...

[Reeses]

More than state rights, support city rights. 80% of Democrats live within city limits. If you sell Democrats enough rope, they will hang themselves. They never learn.

[Pride in the USA]

. . . and I wager that Seattle will do the same and soon.

The Dollar Store will be changing it’s name to the $1.01 store?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Watch Portland live to regret it as it morphs into a ghost town

Actually surveys show Portland is the #1 destination that Millenials are relocating TO.

Can't fix that kind of stupid. Once most of us Boomers are gone this country is SOOOOOOOO SCROOOOOOOOD.

Will the last person to leave Portland please turn out the lights?

[The Great RJ]

Will have the same effect the soda taxes did in Oregon and Washington....consumers will simply drive to another city to buy their stuff at lower prices and leave Portland retailers with empty stores.

Got me how companies are going to handle it; there’s no sales tax to toss a surcharge onto.

Why do you need to have a sales tax to add a surcharge? The surplus construction place near me has a ~15% tariff charge on any kitchen cabinetry. It's only based on the stuff coming from China/other tariffed countries. If half my cart is local accessories, I get full sales tax but only 'half' the tariff tax.
