Economic Liberties

Common Sense For Oregon will oppose any legislation and any laws on the books that create artificial barriers to business. For instance, in Oregon, in order for a company to be licensed as furniture movers, they must receive a permit from the Oregon Department of Transportation. Before a permit will be issued by the Department of Transportation, all of the other licensed moving companies in Oregon must agree to allow a new licensee to enter the market place. If any moving company rejects, the new moving company is subjected to considerable delay, administrative red tape, and ultimately a denial. This law creates a moving company “cartel” and prevents other moving companies from moving into the market place.

There are many laws on the books in Oregon which create artificial barriers to new businesses, job growth, and ultimately economic development. In addition, there are many laws which simply prohibit new businesses – and therefore, new jobs – from being created in Oregon. Common Sense For Oregon is dedicated to opening up the market place for new businesses, job creation, and ultimately economic development.
