The Oregon House of Representatives voted for a $2 billion business sales tax (HB 3427).

The floor debate was interesting.  The liberal politicians said they needed the multi-billion dollar tax because education has been underfunded for decades — despite the state budget growing faster than population and inflation for 30 years and Oregon spending more per capita than 36 other states.

Here are the lawmakers and their vote on the $2 billion business sales tax (HB 3427).
