Not sure why anyone would move TO Oregon:

Among the *highest income tax in USA* - top rate 9.9%.
Ranked #27 in Property Tax Rates
yes, it has no sales tax
Libtards in charge of government.
History of highly corrupt leaders.
- Former Portland Mayor and Oregon Gov. Neil Goldschmidt admitted, after leaving office, that he was having sex with his 13 year old babysitter while mayor of Portland.
- Former 4 term Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber was forced to resign after serious charges of corruption involving his fiancee came to light and he was caught deleting emails.
- Former Portland mayor Sam Adams was outed as having an inappropriate gay affair with a adolescent just before becoming mayor. "I didn't kiss him until he turned 18" was his defense.
- Oregon State Police participate in the fatal ambush of Levoy Finicum, a peaceful protester who was spokesman for the Mahler occupation in 2016. To date the details of the shooting have been hidden from the public. The first trial of the other protesters ended in complete acquittal of all charges for the defendants.
Over-the-top zoning laws make it impossible to build on most rural property, other than improvements.
State politics has shifted to solid left in the last 10-15 years. Voted Dem in every presidential election since 1988. Almost no GOP positions at State level
State Budget Problems - projected $1.4 billion deficit in 2016 (population only 3.3 million people).
Biggest city vying with Berkeley, CA for the most ridiculous libtard enclave in USA, as evidenced by 5 days of riots in the city after Trumps election victory.
Gun laws trending in a bad direction under massive Bloomberg push. (Like CA and WA.)

I realize politics isn't everything, but I'd be really careful about putting myself under the jurisdiction of the Communist Commissars who run the State of Oregon.

It's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't live here (as a Conservative).

Thank you for pointing out all of Oregon’s defects.

We don’t want anymore Californians retiring here.

I live in a conservative county. 1 1/2 hour to the coast and 1 1/2 hour east to mountains and skiing in winter.

I want to keep things just the way they are. It’s horrible here... Stay away!!

I hear ya’, I live in Grants Pass, and while it’s conservative, rural and GOP the state jus becoming very Leftist!

I never dreamed we would actually have background checks on gun purchases, but we did, and that creep Governor is promoting bills to ban semi-autos and high-cap mags.

I love Oregon, but it is becoming Leftist, although Dennis Richardson becoming SOS, a pro-life Republican, is very cool!
