About this episode

Lars Larson calls out Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek for what he describes as an extortion tactic — threatening ODOT layoffs to push for higher transportation taxes. He points to continued high-salary hiring at ODOT and urges lawmakers to reject new taxes, saying the move impacts the I-5 Bridge replacement project. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-message-received-give-us-more-money-or-else/ #Opinion #Oregon #TinaKotek #ODOT #TransportationFunding #I5Bridge #PublicSpending #Taxes #Budget #PacificNorthwest
