The Oregon Health Fund Board is going around the state trying to figure out which tax to raise to pay for new costly health care mandates. Some of the taxes include a payroll tax and digging up the dead cigarette tax which was killed by voters last November.

If you do not want higher taxes then feel free to contact the Oregon Health Fund Board here and email them. Or even better show up to one of their (how can we tax you) town hall meetings. See Schedule below.
