How would you feel if the IRS said, "We need more money for government stuff so we decided to keep your refund checks?" I imagine you might be upset. Maybe even upset enough to put on a yellow vest and join our French brethren in protest. I bet you might even get a majority of Democrats and Republicans to agree that keeping our IRS refund checks is an awful idea. Yet in Oregon, something similar is happening and they are coming for more.
The “kicker” is one of those unique Oregon things like urban growth boundaries, the bottle bill, vote by mail and open beaches that makes us well… Oregon.
