I support this petition.
Only an idiot (politician) would hurt the very people they were hired (elected) to protect. Why in the world would you try to put people out of business and jobs, as well as ruin one of the premier craft industries in the country?
Surely they must *know* that nobody's going to pay an additional $2-$4 per six-pack, even for *great* beer. There are simply too many options out there.
My heart goes out to the breweries who bargained in good faith with these morons.
Let's apply some common sense to the state gov't budget before we reach into the tired old bag of tricks and rummage around to find what short-sighted, ill-considered ideas are moldering in there.
No new taxes!
I support this petition. The proposed tax would cost significantly more than its proponents claim, disproportionately harming Oregon's craft beer industry.
I support this petition. I also propose reducing beer tax instead of another stimulus package. Happy social environments promote entrepreneurship, which result with more jobs. Also... is advocating responsibility and lowering the drinking age to 18 asking too much? I love beer too!
