I understand that you don't have income tax and that Oregon doesn't have sales tax. Budgeting for projects state wide takes into account what money is coming in from various sources.

I'm not going to back down on my opinion that if there's a bridge between two states, both states should pay for it. I don't quite understand your hatred and refusal for this.

Look, the fact of the matter is that there's a lot of people that live in Portland (and surrounding areas) that are nowhere near rich. If you think that Portland is some rich stronghold, you're very mistaken.

My main issue is that if a state/city/whatever is going to benefit from an infrastructure project, like a bridge between states, both parties should fund it. I don't see how that's a lot to ask.

Also, I am very, very against any tolling on the 5. It's going to be a mess.

Yeah, because Washington will not put any money in on it. It's such a shit show.
