The Taxpayers Association has a big question for the Oregon Department of Transportation:
What did ODOT do with the extra one billion?
We quote ODOT’s own press release:
“The Oregon Department of Transportation will receive over $1 billion dollars in additional transportation funding as part of the federal infrastructure package. The money will go toward projects around the state that will benefit drivers, transit riders, cyclists and pedestrians, help maintain roads and bridges”
ODOT Press release, 11/7/21 (1)
What did ODOT do with that extra billion?
What new bridge was built?
Roughly three years after ODOT received a billion bonus dollars from the federal government, they came back asking for a massive gas tax and DMV fee increase. It doesn’t make sense. Vote No on #120.
