Sam, you're counting on the diminishing number of baby boomer natives to slip in your gas tax! We've had one to pay for this for many years, enough money to have fixed them two-fold!

What happened to 30+ years of taxes specifically for
road maintenance?? I'll tell you, Portland -- the city that lies -- diverted, subverted,perverted it for 'pet' projects, with total disregard for the taxpayers. And, not one cent of this new tax should go for anything BICYCLE! That's BS...simply make all bicylclists pay a fee...then use THAT money for accomodating them on streets built for cars. Duh!

Forget the tax. The city blew the money for 'pet' projects. Don't they call that fraud or stealing? Trams, trains and bicylce lanes...oh my! (Psst! Stop profiling, I'm a democrat!)
