Another #TransportationWorkGroup?

Why don’t you just tell the truth, Tina? #Amazon got your tongue?

There’s already a way to measure #roadusage in a perfectly non-regressive manner, isn’t there?

But, even more so than most Oregon Democratic leadership, you fear multinational corporations threatening your campaign cash, don’t you?

Hooey! You have already been scientifically advised on #tires.

Registration fees are the most regressive taxation.

We've had some warm temperatures here on the prairies the last couple of days, and it's mostly looking like above-freezing during the day for the foreseeable future [1]. So today I pulled the snow tires off the cars and put the "all-season" [2] ones on.

Please join me tomorrow in celebrating the semi-annual festival of Oh My Gawd Why Are My Knees On Fire And I Didn't Even Know I Had Muscles In That Part Of My Thigh.

[1] To be fair, this is about 5-6 days max. They don't bother to even try forecasting further out than that here.

[2] Really "three-season", if you live anywhere where it gets more than a handful of degrees below freezing.
