Transportation Tax Can't Be Repealed
(Salem, OR) -- Republican leaders in the Oregon Legislature say the transportation funding bill can't be repealed by the Legislature. Governor Tina Kotek wants it repealed, so a bill can be passed to fund ODOT until the 2027 session when legislators can consider a larger package. Enough signatures were collected to refer the bill to voters. Republicans say a 1935 opinion from the Oregon Attorney General says the Legislature has no authority to repeal the bill before voters can decide.
