Democratic Senators Ryan Deckert and Kurt Schrader Speak

7:00 Monday

December 18th

First Unitarian Church
SW 12th between SW Main and Salmon, Ptld.

The discussion will center on their ”Hopeful Reform,” a bi-partisan plan to bring stability to Oregon’s tax system.

The Senators say the plan is a beginning point for discussion on improving the tax base in Oregon. Primarily, the idea reduces the income tax and raises a similar amount of money with a sales tax. Other provisions currently in the plan include taxing capital gains at a lower rate than earned income and adding to the tax breaks on property taxes for primary residences for both owners and renters.

This is an opportunity to understand and influence the outcome of taxation in Oregon.

Come talk with the Senators Monday evening in the Chapel Room of the Salmon Street Building.
