俄勒冈州选民否决了120号法案，推翻了部分交通法案
Read, Watch or Listen
PORTLAND, Ore. — Oregon voters on Tuesday rejected Measure 120, overturning parts of a transportation bill passed last fall that had raised the state gas tax by six cents per gallon and increased vehicle registration and title fees. The decision occurred during the May 19 primary after a Republican-led referendum placed the law before voters amid rising pump prices. The vote leaves the Oregon Department of Transportation facing an estimated near-$300 million shortfall and follows Gov. Tina Kotek's March directive to allocate $218 million to stabilize ODOT operations. Republicans framed the referendum around affordability as fuel prices climbed with the war in Iran; Democrats acknowledged the timing reduced the measure's chances and signaled work on alternative funding approaches.

共和党组织者和税收反对者在这场公投运动中取得成功，并将120号法案定位为在汽油价格上涨期间时机不当，从而在政治上受益，导致选民拒绝了增加的税收和费用。
民主党议员和俄勒冈州交通部在选民否决了旨在弥补交通预算短缺的收入措施后，在政治和财政上都遭受了损失。
