Oregon voters approved over 50 state and local taxes on the November Ballot, and around 29 local taxes (property, hotel, bonds, renewals, etc.) on the May Election.

Oregonians are making incredible personal sacrifices to approve and pay these taxes, and the common response from politicians is that they are still not paying enough and that government is barely making it by as it is , yet Oregon state and local government spending remains higher than the national average.

Here is the near full 2020 list of taxes on the November ballot that were approved:
