I'd just ignore this and laugh at it if it didn't come from top Oregon Republicans and a vice-chair of the committee that will decide the final transportation bill.

I always like to have evidence before I criticize someone's views and policies online. So I guess that's one silver lining of this bill: Any Republican who supports this should not be taken seriously in transportation policy decision ever. IMO.

lol the #ORleg House and Senate republicans just released a bill that would repeal the Oregon Bike Bill (ORS 366.514), a law in place since 1971 that requires all major road reconstruction projects to include a minimum of 1% of the project budget on bike/walk stuff.

Trump and Apple better tell the UK to go to hell with its demand to access Americans’ private, encrypted texts and files. Trump and American tech companies letting foreign governments secretly spy on Americans would be an unmitigated privacy and national security disaster.

I just met with Community Health Centers from Oregon that told me providers across our state are starting layoffs because of Trump's funding freeze. Donald Trump is already forcing kids and families to go without the health care they need.

It feels like no one should have to say this, and yet we are in a situation where it needs to be said, very loudly and clearly, before it’s too late to do anything about it: The United States is not a startup. If you run it like one, it will break.
