can't we just go back to the 122 lane super duper highway that we so desperately need in the metro area so that people aren't forced to take public transportation, ride bikes, carpool or anything else that would take them out of their bubble?
We could always go with the good old Sales tax isue. :)

Cool, now we can move on to a statewide debate over changing the kicker law and/or enacting a state sales tax if the typical pattern repeats itself.

Maybe somebody already established this earlier...but from Chris Edwards, state rep from Eugene...
It is Representative Edwards opinion that the proposed fee level in this bill is symbolic only and would not even cover the cost of the program needed to implement and enforce it. In order to cover the cost of that program, the fee would need to be raised to a prohibitive level, and as such, Representative Edwards is opposed to this bill.
Since the introduction of this bill the Representative has had conversations with committee members and leaders on this issue, and has been informed that a committee work session will not be held on HB 3008 during this legislative session. This means the bill is dead.
