Please join us for our monthly Policy Picnic led by Cascade’s Senior Policy Analyst and Founder, Steve Buckstein
Topic: Measure 97 – A Hidden Sales Tax on Steroids
Description:
Measure 97 on Oregon’s November 2016 ballot would impose the biggest tax increase in Oregon history: a sales tax on steroids, hidden behind the facade of being a $3 billion annual Gross Receipts Tax on business. It will raise taxes by $600 per capita.
Contrary to claims that it is only a tax on big corporations, the nonpartisan Legislative Revenue Office found that it will act largely as a consumption tax on Oregonians, with lower-income households being hurt the most. Prior to receiving its ballot measure number, Measure 97 was known as Initiative Petition 28.
Steve Buckstein will explain what the measure really does and what it means for you, your family, or your business. Bring your friends and coworkers!
Admission is free, but reservations are required due to space limitations. You are welcome to bring your own lunch; light refreshments will be served.
