AFP- OR Stand with Oregonians: Reject Unaccountable Tax Hikes

Protect Working Families from Unfair Financial Burdens

Sign The Letter

Dear Official(s),

As your constituent, I’m writing to urge you to stand with Oregonians by rejecting any proposal that increases taxes and fees without first addressing government accountability and fiscal responsibility.
Families across our state are already grappling with rising costs from groceries and gas to housing and healthcare. Proposals that raise taxes and fees across the board, especially to fund agencies with a track record of mismanagement, only deepen the financial strain on working families, small business owners, and all Oregonians.
Instead of asking for more from taxpayers, we need leadership that prioritizes cutting waste, demanding accountability, and delivering real solutions that don’t come at the expense of those already struggling.
Policies that redirect funds away from the people and into unchecked government spending erodes public trust. Oregonians deserve a government that honors commitments, manages resources responsibly, and respects the financial pressures its citizens face.
Please reject any tax or fee increases that put the burden onto those least able to bear it. Let’s focus on restoring trust, protecting financial stability, and ensuring that government works for the people it serves.
As your constituent, I’m writing to urge you to stand with Oregonians by rejecting any proposal that increases taxes and fees without first addressing government accountability and fiscal responsibility.

Although the TRIP transportation funding package was defeated in the Oregon Legislature, concerns remain that it could be revived in a special session called by the governor. The proposal includes a wide range of tax and fee increases such as higher gas taxes, new delivery and tire taxes, and increased vehicle registration and payroll taxes, intended to raise billions for transportation infrastructure and to bail out the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). Critics argue that the plan places an unfair burden on working families and small businesses, especially given ODOT’s ongoing issues with mismanagement and lack of accountability. At the same time, efforts to weaken or eliminate Oregon’s Kicker law continue, threatening a key taxpayer protection that returns surplus revenue to the public. Continued public engagement is essential to ensure fiscal responsibility and protect Oregonians from unnecessary financial strain.
