Budget shortfalls will impact Oregon roads this winter, ODOT says. Far be it for me to be a Monday morning quarterback, but this is the problem with Salem lawmakers and how they allocate the tax money we give ’em. Current reporting says that Oregon has a $5 + billion surplus – so much that we’ll get a huge kicker payout next year. So, to keep from getting stuck in axle-deep snow, why can’t the politicians figure out how to use part of that surplus to provide ODOT with an emergency slush fund to see us through unforeseen blizzards? For Christ’s sake! The Democrats, led by Blind-boy Biden, with their green agenda crusade, caused ODOT’s problems. With their push towards EVs, which don’t use gas, highway maintenance isn’t getting enough money ’cause there’s not enough gas being pumped. So, this winter, when you’re stuck in a snow drift on I84 after a surprise blizzard came roaring down the gorge, you can thank a Democrat.
