Oregon Governor Tina Kotek has called the Legislature back into a Special Session this August 29th.

The goal is to pass a gas tax increase and wage tax increase.
When it comes to a Special Session, there will not be much of a public debate nor public hearing, just a ram rod job.
Governor Kotek’s announcement warns that this is just the FIRST STEP, “This is just the first step of many that must be taken to meet our state’s long-term transportation needs.”
That means there are more taxes, fees and budget gimmicks to come after these two taxes are passed.
