From Gas Tank to Paycheck: Oregon's Plan to Tax Everything That Moves - Cascade Policy Institute

By Eric Fruits, Ph.D. Three major transportation funding proposals are circulating in the Oregon Legislature: TRIP 2025, the SMART Framework, and HB 2025. While these proposals aim to address legitimate transportation funding challenges, they would impose the largest tax increases in Oregon’s history through twelve new or expanded taxes and fees, as shown in Table 1. Each package would generate approximately $1.5-2 billion in new revenue every t…Oregon, United States · OregonRead Article

100% Center coverage: 1 sources
Press reports tend to draw a hard line between the 17 states which enacted universal school choice programs when both their legislatures and governors were Republican and the 33 others which have not. But it would be more accurate to say that choice is expanding everywhere, just with different structures. Even in states where at…United States · United StatesSee the Story

100% Left coverage: 1 sources
There is real harm when racially charged statements are not called out and we are not there for those affected By Leda Shapiro I wish to take up the issue of racism in our city. I am proud that several councilors were quick to denounce it with public statements, though many others in social media have expressed opinions that denied the racism and dwelled instead only on the Extended Law Enforcement Area policy. Before I speak about this incident…Racism · PortlandSee the Story

Metro Should Scrap Visioning and Long-Range Planning

By Randal O’Toole Metro will soon be revising its 1995 Regional Framework Plan, also known as the 2040 plan. The vision of 2040 advocates was for the Portland region to “build up, not out”, by maintaining a tight urban growth boundary, mandating the construction of apartments rather than single family homes, stopping any more highway building, and spending billions of tax dollars on transit. They assumed that this would lead to a better quality …Homelessness · PortlandRead Article

Testimony on SB 702 Limits Sale of Flavored Tobacco/Nicotine Products to OLCC Outlets

May 21, 2025 Senate Committee on Revenue and FinanceOregon State CapitolSalem, OR 97301 Dear Chair Meek: I am writing in opposition to SB 702. From a policy standpoint SB 702 is internally inconsistent. The apparent goal is to reduce tobacco consumption, yet the bill would grant a monopoly on sales to OLCC outlets. This makes no sense. The more appropriate policy would be to get the state out of the tobacco business entirely. Sales should be lef…Salem, Oregon · SalemRead Article

Oregon Department of Forestry’s Bad Habit: Over Promise, Under Deliver

House Bill 3103 with the -1 amendment seeks to address these concerns by requiring ODF to create five-year projections on Sustainable Harvest Levels (SHL) by December 31, 2026 and to offer one-fifth of this timber for sale annu…Oregon, United States · OregonRead Article

Affordable Housing Does More Harm Than Good

By Randal O’Toole So-called affordable housing is anything but affordable. Instead, it is mainly a scam that benefits developers far more than it helps low-income people. By restricting most development to less than 1.5 percent of land in the state, Oregon’s land-use planning has made housing expensive. Politicians have responded by spending more tax dollars on subsidized housing, but this won’t make housing more affordable for most people and m…Housing · OregonRead Article
