You have got to love those few hold out states on the sales tax. Oregon has none and it sure makes it easier. Not that the government likes it.

It is...but you wouldn't recognize the town anymore (I know we don't...and we've only been there for about 3 years!) Growth has unfortunately been explosive.

I understand, the population here in the Flathead County is growing tremendously and the rest of the state isn't far behind.

Soon the state will be over one million in population, not bad for the 3rd or 4th largest state! ;-)

Growing up in NYC, that number seems quite small. :O)

Oregon has tried (meaning the liberal state government) many times in the last 30 years to institute a sales tax. Our property taxes are very high here... they want to add the sales tax to the already high income and property taxes. Failing this, they are adding "usage fees" to everything under the sun...


A fee to stop your car by the side of the road during winter snows

A 1000% increase in the annual corporate fees

A scheme to tax the number of miles you drive your car (everyone has to have a GPS unit, the fees vary according to whether you are driving through a particular city)

Numerous other increases in taxes that are not voted on

Eliminate the "double majority" rule (no tax measures unless more than half the registerd voters show up to vote, as well as more than half in favor of the measure)

Welcome to liberal heaven.....
