Too bad they built the St. Johns bridge is so extraordinary because that $1 per capita for those cathedral-like piers would be huge right how. Darn historic landmarks. Down with government corruption!
Seriously though, just like the Golden Gate and Brooklyn Bridge, a beautiful iconic bridge can exemplify our shared pride and love for our beautiful state. A strong economic region needs as a pre-requisite a quality of life. Beautiful places enrich our families. We are better people for having access to the natural beauty around us. A new iconic bridge is no different. It can help demonstrate our values and our pride in our state. It attracts businesses who value these same things. Former Oregon Republican Governors have understood that Oregon's beauty is one of, if not our most important selling point. Today, we are living in this idea. Let's not sell ourselves short. I challenge our representatives to step and do the hard work of delivering a beautiful and fiscally responsible bridge. MAKE IT HAPPEN. If we do not continue to raise the bar, our children will find themselves below it.
Why not just functional?
