    Once again Oregon refuses to tax businesses or meaningfully shift the burden onto the heavy trucking industries which are demonstrated to cause considerably more damage to roads per mile than passenger cars.

    Blue state indeed…

      Their implementation of tolling was backassward and regressive: fine those forced to commute and no planned public transportation and infrastructure improvmeents to support moving away from car economy.

      That said, removing reference to tolling? Why? The shit implementation was the problem, not because most people think those who use something should pay for it.

      Such a goddamn money pit and killing ourselves and the planet in the meantime.
