If you want to run for Governor in Oregon, the rule has long been: lose 
Multnomah County and you lose the race.

Now a new poll shows the infamously liberal voters of Multnomah County 
call taxes a top concern. Hell has truly frozen over.

In just over one year, the number of voters worried about taxes has 
nearly quadrupled.

And what has incumbent Governor “cryptocurrency” Tina Kotek done with 
taxes? Begged the legislature to pass billions of dollars more to feed 
an insatiable government.

A week from today, the 19th of May, voters decide the fate of that crazy 
tax hike, and I bet it goes down in flames, 70 to 30 percent.

If Kotek had made any difference in housing costs, homelessness, and 
crime, Rose City voters might tolerate the higher taxes.

This might just explain why other polls show Portland voters disapprove 
of Kotek by a two-to-one margin… so get ready for Oregon’s first 
Republican governor in four decades after Ed Diehl wins in November.
