Governor Tina Kotek and Democrats in the Legislature passed a $4.3 billion transportation tax hike, claiming more taxes is the only way to avoid cutting maintenance services and laying off maintenance workers at ODOT. But Oregonians in urban, suburban, and rural areas alike aren’t buying it. We think you already pay enough in taxes. Government’s job is to provide essential services like plowing winter roads and fixing potholes, not pouring your hard-earned money into the non-essential priorities Governor Kotek continues to fund instead.

Thousands of Oregonians made that clear in recent testimony, and we want to show you just how overwhelming the opposition is. Out of more than 5,000 pieces of written testimony submitted to the Legislature, 4,836 were in opposition and just 263 were in support. That’s 95% opposed.​

To highlight this overwhelming response, we created an interactive map of testimony by city. The map shows what the numbers make clear: from Portland to Pendleton, opposition is spread across every corner of the state.
