The Oregon Small Business Association worked with a broad coalition to help recruit businesses to oppose the Wood Village Sales Tax proposal being introduced by the mayor.  The language read “The sales tax has been soundly rejected by Wood Village voters nine times.  Adopting a tax so universally disliked by our customers would seriously damage our business and our customers.  We the businesses of Wood Village also support citizen approval for all new taxes.”.  Over 40 business, business owners, business managers and business.  Here is the list of the diversity of businesses leaders and their companies that were involved (note: business listed does not denote business endorsement in all cases, but rather a business leader/executive in that business making a personal statement.)
