Not sure when it changed or if it ever changed and you just paid taxes you weren't required to. When I worked in Vancouver and lived in Wood Village, the only income taxes I had to pay was federal and Multnomah County. Likewise, Washington residents working in Oregon currently pay Oregon income tax on their Oregon income (something they complain about). Combine that with Washington's higher gas prices, Vancouver's lack of public transportation, sales tax, and if you want to work, Oregon income tax, you'd have to be high to live in southern Washington and think it was a good idea financially... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
