The roads in Oregon are paid by a fuel and or license tax. Thus everyone that uses them weather it be commercial or personal pays for them not the state. When you consider the recently failed joint OR-Wa bridge project you get to see what happens when state bureaucracy is in control.

That's a good point. But, isn't it necessary to have the state instituting those taxes?

Gas is much cheaper in other states, I wonder how they pay for the same roads.

I actually always viewed the failure of the bridge project as a sign that people won over bureaucrats. I felt like it would add a lot of traffic congestion and not solve problems the right way. I would like to read more about what you are suggesting, do you have any links that speak to your viewpoint?
