I am sooooo glad that you are talking about this on OPB!! The problem with this bill is that it is attacking one of the only growing and thriving industries in Oregon. I live in Bend, and our umemployment rate is currently at 12% and rising fast. This tax will only put small breweries out of business and hard working people out of jobs. I have to say that the sponsor of the bill hit my point on the head, if imported beer is what will be affected the most, why don;t we tax imported beer only?
