Reading this morning that Portland (Multnomah County?) is considering an income tax. Of course, it probably planned to do this even if Measure 28 had passed.

Can you believe that the state won't even think about cutting funds for light rail boondoggles or welfare for illegal aliens?

I think the City of Portland and Multnomah County are both raising taxes. I have heard that Portland is, at the very least, raising business taxes. I can't tell you how many times I've heard Vera say that they are striving to be more "business friendly." This won't help their image.

Yes, I can believe they won't cut from many of their pet projects, no matter how unpopular they are.
