THIS JUST IN: Oregon's poorest 1-in-5 residents pay the highest share of income in taxes of any group. The top 1% pay a lower rate than many Oregonians. Our state and local tax system worsens inequality. #orpol #orleg

When it comes to worker protections in Oregon, getting laws on the books isn't the problem. Enforcing them is, says the Bureau of Labor and Industries in a new report. The agency is planning an ambitious budget ask in 2025 to improve enforcement. More: https://t.co/2WJR6d9S0r

There’s no good reason to treat Uber drivers, who earn tips, differently than Amazon drivers, who don’t

Exempting tips from taxes would make our income tax system less fair while opening the door to more gaming of the system by the rich.

If you're like most people, this tax season you spent too much time and money preparing and filing your taxes. It doesn't have to be this way. A simple, free tax filing system is doable
