The average price of gas rose overnight AGAIN in Oregon, reaching its highest recorded average price, well above the national average, in the company of fellow Democrat-led states like California, Nevada, Hawaii, and Washington.
Yet, these outrageous gas prices are nothing new to Oregonians who have paid the price for Democrats’ policies for more than a decade. In 2009, the then-Democrat legislators Tina Kotek and Betsy Johnson voted for a bill that increased the gas tax by 25 percent. Beginning January 1, 2011, the bill, requested by the then-Democrat Governor Kulongoski, hiked Oregon’s gas tax adding 6 cents to the gallon, tapping on an additional $30 expenseto the average consumer.
“Gas prices have doubled since Joe Biden took office, but these prices come as no surprise to the average Oregonian who can’t remember a time when their state didn’t face pain at the pump because of high gas prices and a gas tax under Democrat leadership,” said RGA Spokeswoman Kaitlin Price. “Kotek and Johnson have already run Oregonians down to their last penny in pursuit of their radical agenda; residents of the state can’t afford to live under Democrat control any longer.”
