A symptom of a greater problem worldwide

[sleepyjeff]

Here too. The citizens of Portland, Oregon voted down a billion dollar light rail line........They went around the voters and built it anyway(one weasely proponet went as far to say that he hoped the construction delays to build the line would prove how right they were in building it / ). The real kicker in all this is that when asked where the money will come from to pay for it they responded that they "FOUND IT! "..............okaay, we're paying a new County wide income tax to pay for the School budget crunch crisis(even though they have more money now then ever before) but a billion dollars is just lying around somewhere when they need it for something the citizens can't be scared into voting for


Ok.....3 deep breaths. I am calm
