With Friends to Taxpayers Like Them!

As we Oregonians struggle to hold our failing economy together we are being constantly dogged by our government agencies and a prime example of this is made evident by the commerce killing Traffic Accident Reconstruction Investigations.

The closing of Hwy 99w between Newberg and Dundee for three and a half hours Sunday, beginning in the late afternoon on Mother's Day, no doubt created major problems for thousands of taxpayers and all for no reason other than to fill ODOT's need to gather data for their otherwise purposeless engineers to peruse.

Please consider the productivity and income lost in Bend or Redmond when ODOT and OSP close Hwy 20 in the Santiam Pass area or Astoria when Hwy 30 near Clatskanie is closed for the best part of a business day.

Our Public Employees are choking the life out of our economy and they want more money so they can double the effort.
