This type of tax will always be passed on to we consumers. Oregonians already pay an income tax. It's another heavy burden on Oregon consumers that will be passed on to us - the increased costs is nothing but a hidden tax.

Joe Ottlinger

It's a huge tax on everyone. No thanks

Andrew Shooks

This is a sneaky way to get sales tax in place and will add as much as 15% to the consumer's cost for retail purchases.

Steven Huillet

Just another way to ruin Oregon.

David Kline

It's a hand out to the rich who can afford to live here only 200 days out of the year.

Vote no!

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Duane Wyman

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?
