Taxpayers Association Oregon urges No on #120

My history with referendum proves politicians wrong

2003 tax referendum: Oregon lawmakers passed a $600 million income tax hike saying the sky-will-fall without it. I was co-chief petitioner to the tax referendum petition that stopped it by putting it to voters (Measure 30) who rejected it by 58%.

Sky did not fall.

2017 tax referendum: The Oregon town of Ontario became the first city to pass a big sales tax saying the sky-will-fall without it. I helped lead and fund the effort for the tax referendum petition that stopped it by putting it to voters (Measure 23-58) who rejected it.

Sky did not fall.

2025 tax referendum: Liberal lawmakers and Gov. Kotek passed a massive gas tax increase saying the sky-will-fall without it. Once again, I am co-chief petitioner to the tax referendum that stopped it by putting it to voters (Measure 120).

Sky will not fall.

I’ve been doing tax referendum petitions for 20 years.

I can attest that the politicians’ sky-will-fall scare tactic is a fraud.
