Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes, and Fred Myer can just close their stores inside Portland City limits.

I believe that sort of thing happened when Chicago tried some imaginative taxes.

They may not have to. This is a tax only on big retailers, correct? So, depending on how 'big retailers' is defined, they can either cut employees if it's a number line there, or if it's revenue/profit based, they just keep the store open until they hit $100 or $1M under the limit, then close the store for the second half of the year. Re-open Jan01.
That would probably piss people off more and help them be more likely to vote the idiots out, instead of just closing down completely.

You bet. If they have multiple locations they may keep only the most profitable and close the others, or just move out entirely.

Move over the line. Then Portland can convert all that unused floorspace to winter shelter for the homeless. Yeah, that’ll work!
