If my choice is to have a new 6 lane bridge for cars with light rail, and the crime it'll bring on it, then I'll suffer with the old bridge. And so why do we want a new bridge with tolls & the same number of lanes for autos as the old one? So I can subsidize light rail? Hey how about we toll each person that get on the train to pay for "their own train"
We could always put it to a Vote of the people, wait we did that before and it did not pass, Of course the Socialist Republic of Portland knew better then the people.
Taxes, fees, & tolls oh my, can I subsidize anything else.
Look at "ALL" the science people, not just the one they let speak at the council meetings.
