No one wants more taxes. But more
taxes are the inevitable result if ballot
measure 7 passes in November.
It proposes a V2 property tax
limitation. If measure 7 passes, local
governments will be deprived of
$150 million a year. Result : chaos !
Necessary public services such as
schools, police and fire protection will
be slashed immediately. To restore law
and order, the state will have to find
new sources of revenue.

To make up the $150 million loss,
Oregon would need a heavy sales tax,
with no exemptions on food and drugs.
It also means an increase in state
income taxes making Oregon's the
highest in the nation.
A sales tax and higher income taxes hit
hardest at you, the consumer. The tax
commission estimates that 80 of the
sales tax and income tax are paid by
home owners and renters. Business
and industry pay little.
