Oregon lawmakers will return to Salem next week for a packed legislative session in which they hope to address a projected budget deficit, strengthen the state’s economy and challenge federal immigration enforcement policies. One Republican in each chamber is also running for governor, meaning the session will likely bring plenty of political grandstanding. That’s because Oregon generally copies federal tax law automatically, so any new federal tax cuts result in copycat reductions in state taxes. But the wide-reaching federal law is also expected to place additional pressure on the state budget not reflected in that estimate. They could disconnect from some or all of the tax breaks included in the federal law, which would increase state tax revenue but essentially raise taxes on Oregonians and businesses.
