Anne Clark+FollowOregon’s Wild New Driving Fees Are HereOregon drivers, brace yourselves—big changes (and bigger bills) could be coming!

New cars? 2% sales tax. Used cars? 1%. Even getting a license plate will cost almost triple. All this cash is supposed to fund major road projects, safer streets, and more.
