>And Oregon has no sales tax but can't say it saves in the end. Especially around the Portland area.

Personally, I'd rather have no income tax ... I don't buy much locally anyway (mostly Internet purchases). But, no sales tax is better for the lower income people, so I guess I don't mind too much paying my fair share with an income tax.

Good luck on your move, I hope it goes smooth.

Thanks! Right now it's just a partial move. Since we're moving temporarily into a furnished apartment and we haven't sold our house yet (haven't even listed it), we don't have to get the moving company involved yet. This was a rather sudden decision to move, the company kept pressuring us (well, Gary, not me) to do it and we finally gave in ... Throw a few weeks worth of clothes and our computers into the car and that's it for the time being. Piece of cake!! =0)
