Liquor tax tucked away
in Gov. Brown’s budget
Bad detour
New tax would
start in July
By DIRK VANDERHART
Oregon Public Broadcasting
As she finalized her budget
proposal for the next two years,
Gov. Kate Brown made no
secret of the fact she’d push for
higher tobacco taxes, which she
believes should play a larger
role in funding health care.
At the same time, Brown
said she wouldn’t pursue
higher taxes on beer and wine,
despite a request by the Oregon
Health Authority. There wasn’t
enough “bang for the buck” in
that idea in a state with pow-
erful beer and wine industries,
Brown told reporters.
But there was one “sin tax”
that Brown didn’t mention —
to the media or the industry
that would be affected. Brown
wants to increase what the
state collects from liquor sales.
Tucked toward the back of
Brown’s 500-page, $26.3 bil-
lion budget proposal released
Wednesday is a single mention
that the governor hopes to raise
the markup on Oregon liquor
sales by 5 percent beginning
in July. The move would bring
an extra $21.2 million into the
state’s general fund, according
to the budget proposal.
The conservative Tax
Foundation says Oregon has
the second-highest taxes on
liquor in the country. Wash-
ington state has the highest,
according to the organization.
“We’re just using every tool
in our toolkit to fund Orego-
nians’ priorities, while staying
competitive with neighboring
states,” Brown spokeswoman
Kate Kondayen wrote in an
email, when asked about the
proposed hike.

A 2007 Honda CRV crossing an intersection east at 16th and Exchange streets in As-
toria around 2:30 p.m. Friday hit another vehicle traveling north on 16th Street before
accelerating and ramming through the sign outside the Clatsop County Historical
Society’s Heritage Museum. The sign had been refurbished only three weeks prior,
said Sam Rascoe, director of marketing for the historical society.
