一项将俄勒冈州煤气增税投票从11月提升至5月首选的议案在第一次听证会上面临强烈反对, A bill to move Oregon’s gas tax increase vote from November to May’s primary faced strong opposition during its first hearing, with over 3,300 online comments against it and fewer than 50 in favor. 批评者指控民主党通过推迟投票避免政治风险, 而支持者则表示运输经费需要及早行动, Critics accuse Democrats of avoiding political risk by delaying the vote, while supporters say early action is needed for transportation funding. 该税将提高6美分的天然气税,并增加车辆和薪金费。 The tax would raise gas taxes by 6 cents and increase vehicle and payroll fees. 俄勒冈州DOT面临2.42亿美元的资金缺口, 可能会削减职位。 With the bill stalled, Oregon’s DOT faces a $242 million funding gap and may cut positions. 由于该法案在讨论前的议会官方网站记录中缺失, 引发了对透明度和公众访问的担忧。 A key hearing was poorly publicized, as the bill was missing from the legislature’s official website minutes before it was discussed, raising concerns about transparency and public access.
