Among the six new tax bills introduced thus far in the Democrat-controlled state legislature: a mattress tax. I kid you not.
Mattress Bed Tax (SB1564): Allows the Department of Environmental Quality to impose a sales tax (“assessment”) on new mattresses to fund a mandatory mattress “stewardship,” i.e. recycling, program. As an “assessment” rather than a “tax,” the bill may not require a 3/5 majority. Tax bills must start in the House and receive 3/5 majority votes in both the House and Senate.
They also want to tax you for selling your home and for purchasing a car.
Among other new taxes that they have in mind.
Welcome to Oregon!
