Not only does someone want to toll Oregon.. its a 5 member commission made up of three people from outside the Willamette valley thats trying to bring toll roads to Portland.

How about maybe we try something that might actually help with congestion instead. Make the MAX free. Make transit a buck a ride. Find ways to create affordable housing options near where people work.

Or.. We could effectively privatize bits of our roads, add barriers to impede traffic, and pretend thats going to help anything.
