Oregon gas tax and minimum wage going up?
My neighbor saw an article about Oregon raising their gas tax by $1.00 per gallon AND raising the state minimum wage to $15.00 per hour! If so, this will really cost RVrs and others big time, no...

Initial results in Seattle it appears that the $15 wage hasn't impacted anything.
Washington is also looking at a gas tax increase, it got the support of the GOP in the State Senate, so it's probably going to happen. While a gas tax hike is no fun, voters (and businesses) are tired of no state transport plan or funding (it's been several years). A couple years ago Oregon passed a plan to improve the I-5 bridge between OR and WA, if the Washington legislature would fund half. Instead they couldn't pass any transport plan.
