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.
