Instead of depriving a million Oregonians of medicine perhaps we could cut a single ODOT project.
Major cuts are coming to the Oregon Health Plan, the state’s free healthcare program covering 1.4 million children and low-income adults. But the group of experts Gov. Tina Kotek charged with minimizing the harm of those cuts has given her no definitive recommendations.
Oregon eyes $421 million in Medicaid cuts, including fewer benefits and limits on prescription drugs

The Blazers are to this stadium deal like ODOT is to a freeway expansion project.
Insane. The Blazers, to OPB: we can’t show the city final renderings until the city commits to a financing plan.
$600M first. THEN we’ll tell you what it buys.
Even Mayor Wilson now admits: “We don’t yet have all the information we’ll need to negotiate successfully.”
Here’s what comes next 👇

Attention cities & states — remember this as you reconsider EVERY single massively expensive freeway and road widening project you’ve been working on for years, but very likely need to cancel in light of the #CimateEmergency, and the fact that they don’t actually work. #inducedTraffic #ClimateCrisis

Global average temperature is expected to rise to almost 2C above preindustrial in the next five years, according to the WMO, with falls in crop yields and more than a third of the world’s population being exposed to extreme heat.
People, I'm sorry but we have to deal with this. Later is too late.

TIL there's a fake ODOT account w a totally legit handle.
Serves ODOT right. If they weren't still wasting time on X and building a presence here, they might have been able to claim it.

When I am governor, we will be reckoning with the white-collar criminal syndicate known as “ODOT.”
ODOTs megascale interchanges are enormously wasteful. Multi crossover swooping monstrosities that eat up huge amounts of central city land just 'cus they can. And ironically they make it harder to access large portions of the city.

I-5 Expansion Over Columbia River Stumbles Forward with Federal Greenlight
The I-5 Interstate Bridge Replacement project has completed its federal environmental review and the first phase of work is marching toward construction. Does that mean internal strife over major elements of the program is in the rearview mirror? Far from it.

and if they finish that before their deployment is over they can deep clean the transit vehicles and spruce up all the bus stops
