While I currently reside in Texas due to occupation, I call Oregon home. Soren is right on, Oregon has always been very odd when it comes to taxes and laws. Why one can't pump their own gas is just one fine example, now this. I even just read an article that the governor is spending millions on researching a GPS device that every car would have installed so that drivers were taxed per mile they drove (or rode) so that the state can get more money from individuals who drive high mileage vehicles!
