    "This is something we could flip the switch on before the next reauthorization cycle," he said. "We need to get out of the downward death spiral in transportation funding."










    Maybe leave the fuel tax money for transportation funding and quit putting it in the general fund for the dims to waste,......

    I stopped going there when they introduced their highway use tax.

    I won't go there unless the load pays big bucks.

    The scumbag politicians don't talk about the billions they stole from the "Highway Trust Fund."

    Oregon has to be one of our most beautifull states; unfortunately you can never get too comfy drivin there. Blumenauer has ideas of VMT fee but aint nobody gonna get rid of fuel tax = pricier fuel.......OREGON SCALEHOUSE - left at the exit, round the bend, down the street, past the church, don't hit the curb where Hammer is eatin doughnuts, left at the 5mph schoolzone with the hidden sign, and round back in the Wendy' parkin lot.
