State historically hates sales tax
SALEM (AP) — Oregon is
know'll as the place that hates
the sales tax and bans self xer
vi< e gasoline
Light times since the Great
Depression, most recently m
I9HA: Oregon voters have rojet t
ed sales taxes that would have
raised money (or everything
from sc hoots to aid to the blind
to property tax relief
today. Oregon is one of only
five states without a genera!
retail sales tax
Opponents, such as state Sen
Hill Dwyer of Springfield, say
they don’t set that changing
soon
Dwyer savs Oregonians
oppose the sales tax partly
bet aose the stale already has a
relatively high income tax
More important, he x.iyx. is
that Oregonians are familiar
with sales taxes bet ■)use neigh
boring states have them
"We set- what happens in
other plates." the Springfield
Democrat says "Government
continually increases the sales
tax rates, and von get lot al
option sales taxes "
Plus, he says many Oregoni
ans do have a t ertam sense of
pride about living in a no-sales
tax state
We want to keep Oregon
unique and affordable." he saw
Hut Pat McCormick, a Port
land puhlit affairs consultant
who has worked on past sales
tax campaigns, says it may Im* a
new dev for the sales tax in Ore
gon
The main reason for that is (lu
Hallot Measure fi property tux
limit passed by voters in 1990,
McCormick says
The tax limit has squeezed
state government's budget and
prompted the 1993 Legislature
to i ut aid to si bools to $r>00 mil
lion lie low what local schools
say thev need to maintain cur
rent programs and services.
The sales tax plan drafted by
the 199 t legislature would raise
SI billion a year lor local
schools.
What will make the differ
ence between previous cam
paigns for a sales tax and this
school-funding plan is the pas
sion on the part of parents and
others who ant concerned about
the quality of schools," he said.
McCormick disputes the
notion that there is something in
the soul of an Oregonian —
native or transplant — that
despises the sales tax.
"Whether our plan passes
depends not on the genet it
makeup of Oregon voters hut on
whether local citizens view the
plan as their best hope for ade
quate funding of their schools."
he says.
