If fixing roads, keeping water/sewer rates at reasonable levels, allowing the Sellwood bridge not to fall into the Willamette and have good schools is rhetorical snide, tehn we do have a basic problem in this town.

If you have somehting more substantive than calling names, fine, but we are facing a large infrastructure issue. Meanwhile, city council goes off on trips and thinks about distractions like art districts and streetcars or baseball/soccer stadiums.

We have the money to fix basics (at least $30M a year in excess revenue the past 5 years), so why not fix what all people, regardless of political orientation, use everyday first?
