" If the state promotes reducing gasoline consumption and consumers tend to buy the fuel-efficient vehicles, including hybrids, highway revenues would take a hit.

And, if there is a reduction in the price of household goods (such as appliances), sales tax revenues will fall. So Oregon will probably begin tracking, and taxing, based on how many loads of wash you run or how many times you use the blender or coffee pot.

No, there is no sales tax on goods. Oregon does not have a real estate transfer tax either. Oregon only has a 9% income tax. Also, we have gas station attendents pump our gas!!

Not all Oregonians are liberal, just Portland, Salem, and Eugene. Pretty much the rest of the entire state including the eastern side of the state is conservative!! This is just another one of the many fights we will have with the libs in the cities.

Good morning.
"So Oregon will probably begin tracking, and taxing, based on how many loads of wash you run or how many times you use the blender or coffee pot."

Followed by the sewer fluids tax to track the citizen's use of water, the sewer solids tax to track the citizen's consumption of edible resources, and the oppressive oxygen consumption tax that eventually leads to the downfall of the statists.
