(Tina should find a way to not use #regressivetaxation; i.e., stiffing the little guy with fees)
…with an #ODOT $242M gap, #Kotek now favors a “redirect, repeal and rebuild” approach.
“redirect”: free up money within ODOT budget that could instead go toward basic road maintenance.
“rebuild”: Come back to the Legislature in 2027 with a more comprehensive plan for funding ODOT…
“repeal”: ask Dems to scrap the bill she just muscled through…
Lights, Camera, Action!
After Noem met for about 20 minutes with #OR Gov Kotek in a private jet hangar today at #PDX, where #Kotek asked Noem to instruct #HomelandSecurity and #ICE agents to obey #Oregon laws while conducting federal operations, Brownshirt Barbie took her film crew to the roof of ICE's pdx operation for a photo op.

JUDGE IMMERGUT FORBIDS DEPLOYMENT OF TROOPS FROM ANY STATE TO PORTLAND
“There is no national security threat in #Portland,” Gov. Tina #Kotek said in the statement. “Our communities are safe and calm. I ask Oregonians to stay calm and enjoy a beautiful fall day.”
Kotek’s office learned about Trump’s plan to send #troops to Portland from social media posts and received no courtesy heads up."
Kotek’s office has not yet been told the “purpose of any military mission,” Kotek said.
Oto ja i moja siedemnastoletnia #kotkaBronka. Codziennie.

zakurzona 🐓🦖🇪🇺
