Because of the huge distances we drive out here, Lynn Lundquist should
have known higher gas taxes would hit Eastern Oregon especially hard. But
that didn't stop him from voting twice for the Democrat Governor and
ODOT's proposed huge gas tax increase.
Their planned "highway robbery" bill (HB 3163) included a 37% gas tax
increase, doubling auto registration fees, and a road tax added to our phone
bills! The crazy part of this boondoggle was that the bill didn't specify any
real projects! No one - especially Lundquist -- would say what the money
was for. Fortunately, their cash grab was stopped by common sense in the
conservative Senate.
While Lundquist was voting for more taxes, he was neglecting other
obvious problems, like the weight/mile tax. Even though Oregon is the only
state left which still relies solely on a weight/mile tax for commercial vehicles,
Lynn refused to join in with other legislators who would have reformed this
outdated cumbersome system.
We need to replace the weight/ mile tax with a responsible formula for
taxing diesel fuel without increasing taxes on diesel for farm-licensed
vehicles. Truckers would be relieved of the incredible amount of red tape
and costs associated with the weight mile tax and, yet, pay for their share of
road maintenance.
In any event, we simply do not need any gas tax increases Oregon
already has one of the highest gas taxes in the country which
brings in hundreds of millions in revenue every
year. What we need to do is spend those dollars
on asphalt and concrete, instead of blowing it on
light rail and "birkenstock" projects in the Valley.
