Oregon Tax Reform seek tax exemption for manufacturing plants
The Oregon Tax Reform association has begun a campaign to amend the state constitution to exempt machinery and buildings used exclusively for manufacturing from local taxation. Prominent Portland businessmen argue that such exemptions attract capital, create jobs, and boost land values, citing New Zealand and Southern states as successful models. They predict tripling manufacturing investment in three years and net increases in taxable property despite foreseen tax shifts.
