Does this look like a pandemic and global recession to you?

Despite voters approving over 25 local taxes in the Oregon May Primary, the politicians are back with more sky-is-falling pleas for taxes and over 60 state and local taxes face voters in the November election.  Some are renewals, some have merit, while others (like the billion dollar Metro wage tax 26-218) are reckless cash grabs of extraordinary sizes.

Here is the near full 2020 list of taxes on the November ballot.
