Description

Rep. Bobby Levy, R-Echo, stands for the pledge of allegiance in January. Levy was among the House lawmakers working to find sustainable funding for wildfire this session and carried a bill on the floor Monday that would institute a nicotine tax to pay for wildfire prevention.

Oregon House lawmakers on Monday approved a new tax on nicotine pouches to help fund wildfire prevention – giving new meaning to the idea that the products are “smoke free.”
