An investigation by OPB, The Oregonian and Pro Publica confirmed that 4.4 million acres in Western Oregon are in industrial ownership. 62% of these lands are owned in complex corporate entities designed to avoid taxation (e.g. Real Estate Investment Trust “REIT”). Coastal residents have combed through the data and produced maps that show how these large corporate owners dominate the forested landscape in Clatsop, Tillamook, Curry, Douglas, Coos, Lincoln and Lane Counties. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e0358739df1a1af3ee41/8a696ee4-04cb-4d0f-b973-6de17aa01ac9/Screen+Shot+2022-01-27+at+11.56.13+AM.png Home - Per acre, Oregon homeowners pay 100 times what the Wall Street logging companies pay. OPB tells the story of Falls City, a logging town in Oregon that has supported the logging industry for decades. Today, Falls City is suffering from the tax breaks given to large logging corporations: “But the jobs and services have dried up, and the town is going broke. The library closed two years ago. And as many as half of the families in Falls City live on weekly food deliveries from the Mountain Gospel Fellowship.” OPB: Big money bought Oregon's forests, small timber communities are paying the price https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e0358739df1a1af3ee41/773646f7-fd91-4ab8-afe5-4efff5a176a9/Deer1.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e0358739df1a1af3ee41/1643842222330-RNHEKWT5SF6QNF4IO5SB/1.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e0358739df1a1af3ee41/1643842489412-MWQC5CT3VLMXU8FESQ7B/2.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e0358739df1a1af3ee41/1643842648737-LW5Y8CE3FCJXDZENBREG/3.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e0358739df1a1af3ee41/1643847945943-6QWDQZREXS6QBM5LG522/Counties+in+Deep+Trouble.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e0358739df1a1af3ee41/1643925305039-ME0G8G827UN2K5UQPDG0/Big+Money+with+Subhead+%281%29.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e0358739df1a1af3ee41/1643926102215-0G26GNYCULU59BYF6YW3/Street+Roots+3.png Home https://oregonforestsforall.org/in-the-news daily 0.75 2022-05-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e0358739df1a1af3ee41/1643588345062-5US0OHZYK5FM4H6OXDX6/OPB-Cant-Afford-Taxes.jpg In the News OPB - Can't Afford Despite Record Profits https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e0358739df1a1af3ee41/af6cc414-139b-49f9-8009-99e4136e8230/Public+Institute+DeFacto+Lobbying.png In the News Public Agency - DeFacto Industry Arm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e0358739df1a1af3ee41/f1b111d0-668d-4dd9-8d0b-7d834996c8a7/Counties+in+Deep+Trouble.png In the News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e0358739df1a1af3ee41/f5c1ef65-21c1-470f-90ac-75aed8a8efd7/Polluted+by+Money.png In the News Polluted by Money https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e0358739df1a1af3ee41/8787be0e-4f98-4a4b-9ec7-7431ed1d490b/Timber+Tax+Cuts+Cost+Billions.png In the News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e0358739df1a1af3ee41/9304fc93-aa9a-4884-97df-0649aa600bde/Big+Money+Bought+Oregon%27s+Forests.png In the News Big Money Bought Oregon's Forests https://oregonforestsforall.org/take-action daily 0.75 2022-02-16 https://oregonforestsforall.org/left-behind daily 0.75 2022-02-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e0358739df1a1af3ee41/be140c8f-551d-44c9-901b-ec0d5cb8ade9/Small+Firetruck.png Left Behind Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e0358739df1a1af3ee41/d67ec086-7049-4431-a6b0-ca46c42d8eb4/Logging+Taxes+Historical+Timeline Left Behind Home - Big timber corporations eliminated fair taxation on profits from Oregon’s forests. Rural Oregon has changed dramatically since the 1980s. Democrats have controlled the Governor’s Mansion for over 30 years and controlled the Oregon Senate for the last 20. In 1999, Salem handed tax break after tax break to private lands logging companies until these days Oregon homeowners pay 100 times what the big Wall Street-controlled logging companies pay. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1e0358739df1a1af3ee41/1643333534965-0WVLEMDL3WQCW2KNZJU1/Money+Graph.png Left Behind Home - If the property tax rate on logging were the same today as the 1980s, rural Oregon would have extra $100 million per year.
