Today we learn that a 2nd City of Portland truck has been swallowed by a sinkhole, a broker water main is the likely culprit.

Sam is willing to talk about the neglect of our transportation grid, but what about the ongoing neglect of our water and sewer infrastructure.

We have the highest water and sewer bills on the west coast, but the proposed new tax on a water and sewer bills isn't going to water and sewers. Instead, it's being diverted to fund the neglect resulting from the previous diversion of tax dollars from our roads and bridges to rail, trams, and couplets.

When does Sam propose to deal with all the remaining neglected infrastructure?
