#3 Oregon has a lot of contractual obligations to pay for things that, with the collapse of the construction & thus logging industries they no longer have anything close to the necessary tax revenues to do. So they have to raise taxes on those they can. So some of those retire, or close their small business, or move elsewhere, which leaves another revenue shortfall. So they will have to raise taxes again, and so on and so on. California is seeing the same thing. The entire nation is starting to. It's an economic death spiral.

#4 Liberal Dems in Oregon would not cut spending (Public Employees Unions) and did not have the guts to raise taxes (Not my yob) so they got the masses to do it for them. Slick!
