'Instead of focusing budgeting on the thousands of suffering homeless in Oregon, state officials have made another unwise decision to direct finances toward diversity, equity, and inclusion.' -Briana Oser
Senate Bill 1, if passed by the governor, would make Oregon the first state to require the Department of Revenue to include a voluntary questionnaire about taxpayers’ races, ethnicities, and disabilities. The act would also allocate $470,724 to the Department of Revenue to collect data and provide the legislature with a better understanding of “how Oregon's tax policies affect different races and ethnicities statewide.
Liberal leaders in Oregon have a habit of ignoring statistics and offering ineffective solutions. When an Oregon county commissioner suggested cutting funds on a million-dollar DEI office to direct money toward homelessness, a homelessness nonprofit group defended it. According to the organization, “The crisis on our streets is exacerbated by racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, ableism, classism, and xenophobia.
Around the same time Oregon put up its expensive DEI office, Portland decriminalized “small possessions of drugs.” Since then, fentanyl deaths have shot up. Oregon is now No. 1 in the nation for substance abuse problems. In the hope of reversing these effects, Portland’s mayor recently banned fentanyl.
