Measure 118 - Uniting Oregonians?
“Critics of the tax argue it could drive up prices for consumers by as much as 12%”
| A rare event is unfolding in Oregon politics this year, as Measure 118 brings together a broad coalition of opposition. The proposed measure, which seeks to impose a 3% sales tax at each stage of the supply chain, has united Oregonians from across the political divide. Critics of the tax argue it could drive up prices for consumers by as much as 12%, significantly affecting the cost of goods throughout the state. Meanwhile, supporters maintain that the tax would target large corporations, with the revenue being redistributed to residents through annual rebate checks. The opposition website has a diverse list of businesses, organizations, legislators, and public officials who have joined together to oppose Measure 118, despite their various backgrounds and political affiliations, In a state often known for its political divisions, the broad consensus against Measure 118 is notable. One wonders if such bipartisan unity could be achieved on other issues that would benefit Oregon. |
