I don't have any quick fixes for the problem. I do know that city utilities are pretty high right now and seem to be getting worse. Portland's water/sewer fees are one of the highest in the nation. Portland wants to have a great city and a great transportation system but I think people are already stressed out on the current bills. We don't need and increase in whatever form.

Maybe when we get a new President in office, congress will be able to spend more money on needed infrastructure in our own country instead of wasting it on an unnecessary war. If the city can wait a couple of years, thats my best solution.
