Say goodbye to the possibility of economic prosperity in the State of Oregon.
Among HB 2186 provisions are sections that will impact Oregonians for decades to come, regardless of the fact that it sunsets in 2020.

Yay for the looters!
“In declining states the leadership intuitively choses the most harmful course of action...”-A Great Historian 1888
Alaska is looking more and more like the only viable alternative. That or Texas.
This State is goin ginto the $hitter and is going to stay there for decades. You watch.... this place will be considered the worst place to do business in America. And the worst place to live. The unemployment is going to go through the roof.
THOSE IDIOTS!
I think we’re out of here within a year. Portland’s mayor is a pederast and nobody cares, the governor gets paid handsomely to bowl and then stick his hand out for bail-out money, and businesses are leaving in droves because of the tax structure and the insane eco-regulations.
Oregon will soon be a third-world country within the United States.
It is not about the economy, it’s about feeling environmentally sensitive.
Yep. I think you are right.
Yea.... I feel all warm and fuzzy all over right now. Or is that rage?
Most likely due to failure to control Oregon’s southern border. Same thing happened to New Hampster. Idiots escaping liberal lunacy by heading north brought the disease in their luggage or something.
Yep, I have watched it happening. Eugene used to be a great place to live, now its infested.
Maybe I can talk my wife out of this before we really commit, buy a house and my finalizing my move.
Sigh.
I wish I could say not to worry about it, but quite frankly, this can go no where good at all. Certainly I would reconsider buying here, we have high property taxes because we have no sales tax, and that my friends is going to go up to pay for all this new regulation, the state is already in the Red on its budget.
FOOLS!
When the Chinese come to get there bonds redeemed, we give them Oregon along with California.
Someone stop the world, I want to get off. The SEIU and OEA have a stranglehold on my beloved state, and are going to choke the last remaining life out of it. Our unemployment rate it 2nd highest in the nation, only slightly behind Michigan. But the idiots in the majority don’t care. They’ll run this place into the ground as fast as possible now. The worthless ORGOP doesn’t even put up a token fight anymore. How do we strike at the root of corruption that has taken hold in this beautiful state?
Too bad, we could use more conservatives moving here. But I can’t blame you, I feel like a nut for wanting to stay and go down with the sinking ship.
This has made my day. The sun is shining and all is right with the world. The joy is hard to contain.
All this time I’ve thought that MY state, the PDRM (Peoples Democratic Republic of Massachusetts) was the state with the stupidest legislature in the land. It was something to be ashamed. Now I see
