Which doesn't mean the reason you gave is the reason for the
difference.
As has been pointed out if the reason you gave were true then
market forces
would drive the rest of the nation to same model of service. Since
that isn't
the case there must be some other reason which cannot be easily
replicated in
the other 48 states.
Personally I'd look at the difference in tax rates of the other
states
versus Oregon. Oregon not taxing at the same rate could easily
account for
the difference in price.
Here we go again! With all the usual suspects...(including all the
Johnsons!)
