We believe all Oregonians deserve a real opportunity to thrive. This won’t be achieved by accident or by chance. Good public policy is essential.
We have thoughts on today’s Oregon Economic and Revenue Forecast: close those tax loopholes for Oregon's wealthy and corporations! Even with the improvement in revenue collections from the last forecast, Oregon still faces a budget shortfall.

Good news: Oregon’s revenue doesn’t look as bad as it did 3 months ago
Bad news: we're still facing a budget shortfall
Solution: Disconnect from tax cuts mainly for corporations and the wealthy that Congress enacted earlier this year, protecting the services Oregonians rely on

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Big multinational corporations have long manipulated the tax system to avoid paying their fair share. Correcting this unfairness is all the more urgent right

Great news: Despite the roadblocks set up by the Trump administration, Oregon has begun restoring nutrition assistance benefits for families.
Using food as a political bargaining chip is unconscionable.

Oregon's own history shows why it's so important to have good data on #foodinsecurity. It's essential for fixing problems when problems exist
Given the Trump administration’s threat to plunge the nation into darkness when it comes to basic information regarding hunger levels, Oregon can strike its own course toward the light, columnist Tyler Mac Innis of @ocppnews.bsky.social writes.
The Trump administration wants to hide hunger facts. Oregon can fill the void • Oregon Capital Chronicle
One thing is clear: more Oregonians will go hungry as a result of the Republican budget bill passed earlier this year.

Oregon's own history shows why it's so important to have good data on #foodinsecurity. It's essential for fixing problems when problems exist
Let's be clear: the Trump administration has access to a contingency fund that would keep food assistance benefits going next month. Is the administration really going to let millions of families go hungry when it can prevent that from happening? #snap #shutdown
SNAP’s Contingency Reserve Is Available for Regular SNAP Benefits, as USDA and OMB Have Ruled in Past
The Administration must use all available options to fund November benefits for the 1 in 8 people in the U.S. who need SNAP to afford their grocery bill.
