    If they really cared about the tax payers they would lease the sign out to Budwiser, Nike, or someone else who will pay $$$$ to have their name or product in neon.

    Well said, screw the city of Portland for changing the sign in the first place. And now they want to charge for its use, Can you say Pompous?

    I'm f'ing sick of you hypocritical republicans that think "Free market!" The city is paying for the electricity for this sign. The money goes DIRECTLY to the maintenance and costs of this sign. DO YOU WANT OUR CITY PAYING FOR IT"S COSTS OR NOT!?

    Westnob, please provide me a link to a source that says the money goes Directly to the maintenance costs. Looked but did not find anything to that effect.

    But the city didn't have to take over the sign. The University of Oregon wanted to buy it and the city crapped all over that idea.
