Time for a referral on gas taxes? Facebook post from Bruce Starr:

“Rep. Ed Diehl, Jason Williams, and I, will be the Chief Petitioners who will run a referral to voters of the devastating gas and payroll tax and fee hikes. When compromise and numerous chances for bipartisanship are ignored, the People of Oregon deserve a vote.

Actual signature sheets will take time. For now, think of strategies you may employ locally when signature gathering is finally allowed.

More to be revealed in the next few days. With the help of Oregonians, we will accomplish this.”
