There is a hearing for HB 3362 this Tuesday March 4th in Transportation with subsequent referral to Ways and Means Committee.    HB 3362 would tax everyone’s tire 4% to pay for many unrelated activities like rail transit — a transportation mode in deep decline.  It would pay for wildlife passages on roads.

Why is there not any money from Biden’s $5 billion infrastructure package sent to Oregon going to these activities?

Why have the nation’s 10th highest gas tax if you now have to pass huge tire taxes?
