Just like the taxpayers want more taxes
That actually pretty much goes along with the same liberal mindset. There have been a number of attempts in recent years to impose major new taxes via the vote in Eugene, and the local Register Guard newspaper and the local Democratic party have both heartily endorsed every single effort. These efforts have included both county and city income tax proposals.
For some reason, though, the public continues to vote major new taxes down. Minor property tax increases for things such as law enforcement, fire safety, schools, and the library have managed to pass, though.
