House Minority Leader Christine Drazan, R-Canby, in a Facebook post called the legislation the “largest transportation tax hike in Oregon history.”However, House Bill 3991 is not the largest transportation tax hike in Oregon history. To put that into perspective, the Oregon Capital Chronicle has compiled a detailed breakdown of how much the payroll transit tax would cost Oregonians. “Payroll tax” is a general term for what’s taken out of your paycheck for tax purposes or social services. For Oregonians, this includes state and federal income tax, social security, Medicare, a workers fund tax, a paid leave tax and a transit tax. The proposed transportation package would only raise the transit tax, which goes toward the State Transportation Improvement Fund.
