#8  And then there are the Portlanders who work in Oregon (income tax) and then shop in Washington (sales tax)....

#7  Residents in Washington State (no income tax - but a sales tax) would sometimes cross the border and shop in Oregon (no sales tax).

#6  magpie,

Oregon has a relatively high State income tax but no State sales tax; this latter fact was used in the past (as I recall at least 5 years ago) in a tourism promo

Those that were weaned in Smart Phones and Tables might buy into a little of the PR Dream.

But until Broke-Land decides to ENFORCING ALL LAWS and starts making more than a few Dog and Pony Show arrests.

The needed Tax Base $$$$ will continue to flee and/or refuse to return.

#3  ...they won't have any money in a decade to run a PR campaign. Better spent money on lobbyists to get their Socialists brothers and sisters and whatevers to get Congress to fund it.

#2  Seriously - without waiting a decade first they are just pissing their money away.
