(Salem, OR)  --  Oregon may be losing its unique state tax refund law.  Bend Republican state Senator Tim Knopp told KBND News that he expects the kicker rebate to be scaled back or eliminated altogether.  He says there will be discussions in the fall on finding new revenue as the state faces a possible billion-dollar shortfall, and the kicker is one of the items on the table.  The rebate is triggered when tax revenues for a two-year budget cycle are more than two-percent above what was forecast.
