OREGON OBSERVATIONS 16 MAY 2022 Leave a Comment / Uncategorized / By admin Re: This could only happen in a state Capitol drowning in Democrats. While the author was aware of the program, this article was the first seen highlighting the specifics of where the money will come from. The fund bankrolling Paid Leave Oregon is paid for by a 1%, 60/40 split between ALL employees (even if they’ll never use it), and employers. That means for every $1000 in pay, employees will have $6 taken out, while it’ll cost employers $4. It’s a state-level version of Lane County’s Transit Tax, where everybody has money taken out of their paycheck to make it easier for bums to ride the bus (or whatever LTD does with it), whether the EMPLOYEE rides the bus or not. Think about it. If you’re unmarried, you’re having money taken out of every check, even though you’ll never have a chance to use the annual 12 weeks off, because of birth or adoption of a child. How much longer is it going to be before anybody working in Oregon has money taken out of each check to pay into the “I don’t want to work, so give me free money” fund, AKA the deadbeat bank. 4
