MAYBE WE NEED SOME HOPE AND CHANGE IN SALEM!

Here's Kitzhabers track record: HIGHER TAXES! .

Witness Kitz' 20 years of tax hikes...do you want more? He certainly does.

From 1981 to 1994 Kitzhaber voted 15 times for higher taxes, including:
- 6 gas tax increases,
- 2 income tax increases, and
- 3 times for higher sales taxes.

From 1997 to 2000 Kitzhaber proposed or backed 10 different types of higher taxes:

*Sales Tax (Oregonian 1-8-99),
*Twice proposed keeping kicker (Oregonian 3/16/99 & 3/17/01),
*Advocated higher gas taxes & transportation taxes (Oregonian 1-26-97 & 2-4-00),
*Opposed a 10% property tax cut (Measure 47 in 1996),
*Proposed corporate income tax hike from 6.6% to 8.6% (Oregonian 3/16/99),
*Backed a cigarette tax hike (Oregonian 11-10-96),
*Proposed a new excise tax of 3 cents on each beverage container (Oregonian 12-9-96),
*Proposed a per-household tax (Oregonian 1-26-97),
*Proposed a tax based on miles traveled (Oregonian 1-26-97),
*Backed a plan for taxes on pesticides and fertilizers (Oregonian 1-8-99).

In 2001 Kitzhaber took the people's kicker, raised the tax burden, increased fees and grew government by 17%. Kitzhaber stole 1/3rd of the people's kicker tax refund, proposed over 25 new fees increases, proposed over a $1 billion in new bonding authority which would max out lottery bonding for 10 full years and put Oregon in it's biggest debt load in it's history , proposed and approved a budget that spent $4.4 billion more than the last budget.
