Tax change threatens Umatilla losses from taxes
Umatilla county officials warn a senate tax amendment would shift public service corporation taxes from counties to the state, risking about 60 000 dollars yearly for Umatilla and benefitting Multnomah and inland counties with less mileage. Judge Maloney says the shift would hurt counties with railroad mileage while state taxes would likely drop. Local efforts led by Judge Maloney and the Commercial Association urge opposition and possible public vote in the next general election.
