La Grande Voters Reject 5-Cent Gas Tax for Road Repairs

La Grande Voters Reject 5-Cent Gas Tax for Road Repairs

Voters in La Grande, Oregon, have rejected a proposed 5-cent-per-gallon gas tax in a recent election. City officials had advocated for the tax as a necessary measure to fund critical road repairs and maintenance. Approximately 70% of voters opposed the gas tax, reflecting a broader trend in Oregon where similar transportation funding initiatives have faced public resistance. Earlier this year, Democratic Governor Tina Kotek's attempt to raise the state gas tax for bridge and road funding was also rebuffed by voters. This outcome leaves local governments, such as La Grande, to seek alternative solutions for their infrastructure needs. Mayor Justin Rock, who had voted against placing the gas tax on the ballot, expressed little surprise at the results, acknowledging the significant financial ask of residents. Public Works Director Kyle Carpenter voiced disappointment but indicated the city would prioritize the most damaged roads and continue to pursue grant opportunities.
