The Oregon Legislature has a choice next year:
Do we fix our state’s crumbling roads and bridges, restore transit service and make streets safer?
Or do we continue to write blank checks for the Portland-area megaprojects that continue to spiral in cost and don’t even fix congestion? #orleg #orpol

ODOT now concedes the I-5 Rose Quarter freeway widening will cost $3.6 billion, fully eight times more than the $450 million it told the Legislature the project would cost when it was approved in 2017. www.oregon.gov/gov/policies...

It will be interesting to see if #ORDems & #ORLeg take up the issue & preempt jurisdictions from criminalizing in any way being homeless or survival behaviors associated with being houseless.
For so many reasons & on so many levels doing so would force needed changes to this approach.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Christine Drazan issued her first post-election written statement Wednesday.
It was missing one key element of a traditional political concession: a direct acknowledgment of who won the race.

My opponent says to take a risk on her. Look at what that risk would mean: your health care, abortion access, vote by mail, and no one standing up when the president wants to send troops into our cities. Oregon can’t afford that gamble.

Dems could flip 500 seats, pick up new majorities in 7 states & break up GOP majorities in 6 states
