One of the Oregon kicker's fiercest defenders says he expects lawmakers will consider changing or eliminating the state's unique tax refund law as they search for revenue next year.
"I think the kicker will be discussed in the whole dialogue in revenue reform," Sen. Tim Knopp, a Republican from Bend, said in an interview this week.
