To agree with Springor, a sensible, understandable sales tax might just be the answer.
1) The tax rate is written into the State Constitution; can only be raised by popular vote, not by the Salem  Mafia.
2) A true replacement tax taking the place of income or a healthy portion of our property taxes.

Look at Washington with their bad. scary sales tax.  No state income tax and in King County, (Seattle area). at least, lower property taxed than Lane County. 

A tax like that might drag Oregon out of the horse 'n' buggy days.
