Wake up, people. There is a new pickpocket in town. He’s called the Oregon Department of Forestry, and he just added a “new line item levy” on your property taxes, starting this year. He’s calling it the “Annual Forest Patrol Assessment” that will clip almost every property owner for about $100 per year.
No matter that you are already supporting local fire districts with your tax dollars, he wants more. No matter that what he calls forestland is really residential land with well-maintained lawns. No matter that this pickpocket has no legal rights to impose such a new tax levy; they had a few meetings and wrote their own “Administrative Rules” with instructions that Clatsop County collect this new tax.
No matter that I’ve owned my property for over 20 years, and have never heard of such a “Forest Patrol Assessment.” No matter that this is taxation without representation, and violates both the Oregon and U.S. Constitution. No, we should just clam-up and pay-up.
My question is why do we have elections if bureaucrats can write and impose taxes? And where are our elected representatives on this issue, like Sen. Betsy Johnson, Rep. Deborah Boone and the Clatsop County commissioners? Why are we allowing this pickpocket to put his hands ever deeper in our pockets, without the vote of the people? No wonder so many of our politicians and bureaucrats are not trusted.
