VOTE NO ON OREGON TRAIL’S $172.2 MILLION TAX HIKE

The Oregon Trail School District wants homeowners to pay a massive $172.2 million bond that costs too much and uses a classic government sales pitch.

This bond will hit property owners with a new tax of $1.12 per $1,000 of assessed value. For an average home, that’s an extra $323 every year in property taxes.

To sell this tax hike, they’re dangling a $6.1 million “matching grant” from the state. Don’t fall for it.

That matching grant isn’t free money—it’s your own state tax dollars being used to bribe you into approving a much bigger local tax increase. You’re being asked to tax yourself $172.2 million locally just to get $6.1 million of your own money back from the state. That’s a terrible deal.

With inflation and rising costs crushing every family, now is not the time for a $172.2 million bond. The district needs to focus on critical needs and find ways to pay for them within their current budget, not stick taxpayers with another huge bill.

Send a message: No new taxes. VOTE NO on the Oregon Trail bond.
