The State Of Oregon Tip-Toes Into The 20th Century -- August 5, 2023

Locator: 45345KEYSTONEKOPS.


Oregon finally moves into the 20th century. But read this article. It's absolutely amazing. 

Sheeple. 

There's even a video at the link to show folks how to pump their own gasoline.
For the first time in more than 70 years, Oregonians in every county can pump their own gas.

Gov. Tina Kotek has signed House Bill 2426 into law, allowing self-serve gas at stations across the state for the first time since 1951.

With her signature, New Jersey is now the only state in the United States that prohibits drivers from pumping their own gas.

The law goes into effect immediately, but residents won't be forced to start pumping. The law states that stations may allow self-service, but they don't have to. And many must still have attendants available for at least half the pumps.

Despite signing the bill, Kotek sent a letter to =Senate President Rob Wagner, D-Lake Oswego, and House Speaker Dan Rayfield, D-Corvallis, expressing "concerns" with enforcement of the new law and encouraging lawmakers to consider strengthening the complaint and enforcement process in 2024's legislative session.

Kotek said her office received more than 5,000 comments from Oregonians about the bill and that support for her signature was a narrow majority.br />
In Creswell, Bill Spencer said his 76 Station would begin offering self-serve next week to make sure his staff are well trained and avoid confusion for customers.

He said his biggest concern was maintaining a fast speed of service, especially with customers now having to go to a cashier to receive authorization at self-serve pumps if they are paying with cash.

It just goes on and on.
