Unfortunately, this latest move by the clowns in office has solidified my decision to retire elsewhere after my final tour. I love it here, but damned if I'll stick around to let them bleed me dry and infringe upon my rights if I have a better option. It's a shame that such a beautiful place has such terrible "leadership" and laws.It's not just the per gallon fuel tax increase. Vehicle registration fees are increasing another $84 for the 2 year registration period. Vehicle title fees will increase another $139.00.
Boat title and registration fees are increasing. New fees for smaller water craft are created and/or increased. Additional access fees are being imposed.
Fishing licenses increasing 14%, 6% and 6% in 2026, 28 and 30.
Hunting licenses increasing 12%, 8% and 8% in 2026, 28 and 30.
...and there's a new fee for fishing in the ocean.
A money grab worthy of a criminal organization is underway. An increase in the baseline cost of living in Oregon is being codified. It's impossible for the average citizen to review all the newly created fees and tax/fee increases being passed into law by our POS governor and legislature.
Why is there a budgeted line item spending $1.5 billion on (illegal) alien medical care?
Why is new law being written giving (illegal) aliens access to the same housing, food and array of welfare benefits available to US citizens? Why are (illegal) aliens being given in-state tuition for higher education?
Why is the State of Oregon doing nothing to prevent criminal cartel organizations entering and doing business in this state? Who do you talk to about investigating campaign donations, consulting/professional fees and outright pay offs that buy this conspicuous blindness to the criminal activity.
The (politics) of the state of Oregon has become a cancer feeding on the citizens of the state.
