Lawmakers still haggling over tax-increase bill that could subsidize 2021 Eugene track event: SALEM — Backers of an increase in Oregon’s hotel room tax have slightly scaled back and tweaked their request, to win support from hesitant lawmakers in the state House. The tax increase is being sought, in part, to generate money for a $25 million subsidy request for the 2021 World Track and Field Championships in Eugene. The House was scheduled to vote on House Bill 4146 on Friday.
