    And that's not going to change. As long as democrats are still trying to "compromise and meet in the middle" on the dime of corporations we'll just keep trending further and further right...

    I've driven on Oregon roads quite a bit. The potholes there drove me crazy. I've lived in the Atlanta and Nashville surrounds and the roads are substantially better,

    That said, I'd be much more for tax incentives/breaks than simply doling out surplus tax monies in the form of checks.

    Meanwhile, roads in Tallahassee are absolutely garbage. Reminds me of some of the more unrefined areas east of SE 82nd.

    I bet the million and a half dollars thrown away on political stunts this past week could have helped patch those up a tiny bit. Oh well!

    Oregon's gas tax is reserved solely for transportation purposes.

    They're all over Portland, especially on the East side. I can't remember seeing a pot hole in Lake Oswego.

    The worst pot hole I've ever seen in my life was in Alabama which generally has good roads.

    A million and half of tax payers dollars just for a joke. He should be kicked out on his butt from the governors mansion just for that.

    That would encourage government to waste the money. Far better to distribute it equally. That's the most efficient means of economic stimulus.

    All of my friends, family, and 90% of coworkers living in Florida are working on that currently.

    If we just renamed potholes to cenotes people wouldn't mind them.

    The word "pot" as in pothead is republican repellent. It's a trigger that works much like patchouli oil. There are potheads everywhere you look in Oregon damnit!

    All I know is Oregon’s roads are perfectly fine as far as the actual pavement and potholes. Now, as I’ve said before, I have NEVER BEEN any where with more trash along the highways. Nowhere. Dallas, LA, STL, SD, NY, Boston, Orlando, Minneapolis. And so on. The Uber environmental peeps surrrrrrre love throwing trash out their cars. It’s Fucking gross and pathetic. Which is why again I don’t think a single inmate anywhere in this state should be sitting on their ass in a cell. Go clean up.
