It’s what liberals do.
Tax everything to death, then wonder why there are no tourists..................
“Everything people love about Oregon is now being taxed and regulated.”
If you think about it, democrats can’t stand happy people.
They’re unhappy so they want everybody to be unhappy.....it’s a mental illness.
“ The permit could be a 7-day permit ($6) or annual permit ($20). See more here.
The agency says they must do this to educate and work against invasive species.”

That won’t yield nearly enough to deal with the state’s invasive illegal aliens.
Big Government is your friend. Now hand over your money to your friend. Most Blues states have GoFundMeOrElse style governmental systems.
Oregon, where state government always tries to out do California with stupid liberal ideas.
Grungy oregon liberals won't be happy until there are
no Oregonians with loose change in their pocket and
only dust in their wallet.
Well the government has to find a way to handle the illegals survival, and paid for by American citizens!! ...imho
We need to license toaster ovens. </sarcasm>
I'm sure everyone here has noticed how many of our freedoms have been taken from us, then sold back to us in the form of permits.
Oregon Demonicrats need to be taxed on the oxygen they steal.
California will be next - in fact, I’m surprised California wasn’t the first to tax bicycles and paddle boards.
They’re becoming desperate to tax everything - as their tax base flees- due to overtaxation.
It’s Oregon! How about skate boards and bicycles? They used the streets, why are they not required to license and register like everyone else?
This is a perfect example of the local fiefdoms attempting to shakedown the people for more money, to ensure their fat gold plated government pensions remain fat and intact.
I remember decades ago friends moving there and complaining about the “rain tax”. You paid a tax for every square foot of non-soil on your property.
I already know about leftists.
One of the more interesting ones from the Beatles
Taxman
Let me tell you how it will be
There’s one for you, nineteen for me
Cos I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don’t take it all
Cos I’m the taxman, yeah I’m the taxman
If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street
If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat
If you get too cold I’ll tax the heat
If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet
Taxman!
Cos I’m the taxman, yeah I’m the taxman
Don’t ask me what I want it for (Aahh Mr. Wilson)
If you don’t want to pay some more (Aahh Mr. Heath)
Cos I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
Cos I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
And you’re working for no one but me
Taxman!
Do they have a Fun Tax yet?
Just claim to be antifa and that your board/kayak is a free zone.
We live in North Idaho and travel in the NW a lot. There are invasive species check stations for all watercraft in WA, ID, and MT at stateliness. All watercraft must stop for inspections.
But that doesn’t solve intra-state introduction of invasive species from one contaminated lake or river to a pristine lake.
So I can understand the need for this if it improves awareness of invasive species and how to prevent it.
I’ve seen the damage done by invasive fish and aquatic plant life. They will quickly wipe out native fish and choke a lake with weeds.
$20 isn’t much to pay to help prevent that.
