Oregonians likely to see higher transportation taxes next year, lawmakers announce

Oregon Democratic lawmakers unveiled a transportation funding plan on Thursday to address a deficit.
Oregon faces a transportation funding gap, potentially requiring ODOT to cut 1,000 jobs.
The proposal includes raising the gas tax to 60 cents by 2032 and increasing other fees.
Rep. Drazan stated the proposal is a 'slap in the face' to Oregonians, who cannot afford increased costs.
The plan aims to generate $1.9 billion every two years, but faces Republican resistance during negotiations.
