It would remove the current prohibition against <br />county and city taxes on cigarettes and tobacco products. This would open the possibility <br />for the City to consider a local tobacco tax. LOC supports this measure. It will face strong <br />opposition from the tobacco lobby. Nevertheless a letter of support is justified. <br />SB 248 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to disposal sites <br />Title:Increases amount of service and user charges collected for solid waste disposal that may <br />be set aside by local governments for certain uses. <br />Sponsored by: at the request of Senate Interim Committee on Business, Transportation and Economic <br />Development for Lane County <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/13reg/measpdf/sb0200.dir/sb0248.intro.pdf <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Ethan Nelson PDD – BPS 03/18/2013 Pri 1 Oppose <br />Comments: SEE ATTACHMENT C – SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION <br />1 | Page <br />March 20, 2013 IGR Committee Meeting <br />
