What seems to be the problem? An automatic 3% raise every year would thrill most Oregonians, but not the state. It's never enough. The kicker has been under attack since it was passed. All that money collected, and they can't touch it - but damned if they aren't constantly trying!

Using the quickly escalating house prices recently as an example - if those 'limiting measures' were not enacted, just imagine what your yearly property taxes might be.

The government is in the business of spending as much of our money as they can get away with, and extract as much as possible, using any means. Limits are absolutely necessary!

Our mayor should read this and be worried. She wants more tax hikes, and the yearly increases that go with them.

Yet, she doesn't balance our budget.

for the millionth time....we wouldn't have to increase taxes if our wages kept up with the cost of living.

Our corporate overlords have been keeping our wages low for decades...paid for by campaign donations to politicians and bribes to SC judges.
