These increases will never slow or stop those that advise alcohol. The government needs to stop trying the punish all for the acts of a few. There are plenty of programs already funded by tax player dollars. Just stop trading is to death.

No FEE or TAX has ever dissuaded the consumption of any item pleaded by the government as to this necessity of saving what it's pointed at. Just padding the coffers everywhere, don't you know!

NO!!! This is horrible liberal logic, the problem is the Demarcate control freaks closing things down. The closures have hurt more people than the virus by millions. Liberal logic, a person has a gunshot wound, lets stab him with a knife and see if that helps. Duh! Democrats, shut up and open up

This is ridiculous, why punish the masses for the few that cannot control themselves. This is just another way to raise taxes in the state of Oregon, give us a break!

Noone knows where the extra tax money would go or how it would be wasted. Seems OR soulution to every problem is to raise taxes, give free stuff and not hold abusers accountable. Just tax everyone. Typical liberal mindset.

It amazes me that this never ends. Isn’t enough, enough? When your residents have to drive over the California border to buy their liquor that alone should tel you that Oregon liquor prices are outrageous! Only a drone with no brain would ask for more. It’s the liberal solution to everything!

You just increase the incentive to go to Hilt CA to buy liquor. I think there should be a tax on organizations like this offering unsolicited proposals on taxing others who are doing something they disagree with. It could reduce the number of busy bodies.

Because this is a typical bureaucrat's/politician's solution, punish the masses for the actions of a few. Perhaps the state should practice better budget management and purchasing practices since these expensive services are likely contracted.

Restaurant industry has had enough of a hard time. Increased costs of an additional 20% would be crippling.

Raising liquor prices that much will make moonshining and bootlegging profitable again. If the state monopoly cannot out compete bootleggers the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Cartel might as well go out of business. Where there is a demand, it WILL be met with a supply. Choose wisely, revenuers

Just like cigs--the addicts will find the money. How many down-and-out people on corners, begging for help are smoking? They will find $ for smokes and alcohol rather than food and other help. We need better programs and facilities to help addictions.

Oregon government needs to learn how to manage their finances better. They get the money, they have enough!! They need to take pay cuts as they are NOT DOING THEIR JOBS they were hired for, by the people who just happen to pay their wages!!!

We should all be in favor of anything that creates a safer community for all of us, regardless of political affiliation. Since our federal funds have been decreased, we need another form of revenue to supplement our fire fighting revenue.

Do you not value trees and animals? Do you understand how precious the forest is for all of us? This is not a partisan issue. It's a matter of how we value life of all kinds, animal and humans alike. Please think about your words before speaking.

The federal budget deficit would be EASILY diminished if the Rs in Congress would vote to make the tax system fairer by making the top richest pay their fair share. But they won't. They'd rather take from the poor+ middle class and sale public lands vs. doing the obvious and fairest remedy!!

It is a shameful idea. These lands belong to all of us, and are not for sale.

Hey, If Mike Lee wants to sell Utah's public lands, see how his constituents like it with theirs. Stay away from Oregon and the other states who don't like it. If Trump wants his big ugly bill to pass, reimburse the government for what the taxpayers pay for his golfing at his resorts + his parade.

This would be a crime and one that is irreversible. If Trump needed the money so bad, maybe he shouldn’t have spent our hard-earned tax money on his birthday parade. I am a public land owner and I oppose this proposition. How dare Mike Lee try pulling off this crap on us. We’re not stupid.

Public lands are our heritage due to the foresight of great individuals. Only those interested in profiteering propose and support the rape of Oregon and public properties.
