Sen. Wyden visits Bend, touts new bill to cut gas prices, tax oil profiteers
Sen. Ron Wyden held a Bend news conference Monday with Central Oregon farmers, workers, low-income residents and student advocates about his new Taxing Big Oil Profiteers Act, saying it would "help reverse perverse incentives to price gouge by doubling the corporate tax rate on companies’ excess profits, eliminating egregious buybacks, and reducing accounting tricks."
