Good news: Oregon’s revenue doesn’t look as bad as it did 3 months ago
Bad news: we're still facing a budget shortfall
Solution: Disconnect from tax cuts mainly for corporations and the wealthy that Congress enacted earlier this year, protecting the services Oregonians rely on

Revenue forecast in #orleg is going to be down significantly. Yet, we'll still have billions in revenue we didn't have in the prior budget to invest in working families! This will be spun as a bad forecast, and yeah, it's worse than February due to tariffs, etc. but still an opportunity to invest!

Cuts to Medicaid, as proposed in the current budget plan moving in Congress, will hurt Oregonians in every congressional district. That's especially true for the 2nd Congressional district, covering Eastern and most of Southern Oregon.

Y'all, I've gone through the tax cuts part of the federal scam we're being sold and it's real bad. We're talking about huge giveaways for the rich and complicated "certifications" for workers to get tax breaks. No "certification" for the billionaires, just for a family with 3 kids making $40k/yr

New @centeronbudget.bsky.social analysis of the draft GOP tax plan released yesterday:
Unsurprisingly, it provides enormous tax cuts for the wealthy—including an average annual $65k cut for the top 1%—while doing little for low- and moderate-income families in 2027 (and even less by 2029).
