Portland street fee, unpaved roads, a problem the fee won't fix

City of Portland officials tout unpaved roads as a reason we need the street fee (BD has the 2nd highest amount in the city!), yet the truth comes out the street fee would do nothing for paving unpaved streets. What do you think about this development?

Kitzhaber-backed 'clean fuels' program a hidden tax on gas

"California has adopted the nation's only LCFS, a program energy experts say is infeasible. Forcing manufacturers of gasoline and diesel fuels to meet a standard that can't currently be met puts the state's entire fuel supply in a very precarious position." by John Egge

The no-brainer bunch Editorial endorsement

Tim McMenamin has Unparralled name recognition along with a hard work ethic. Tim has been out in House District 41 for four years now, but his opponent has yet to show any commitment to the District. Rather than pretending an endorsement would make the slightest bit of difference in such races, we'll simply point out the obvious: The candidates belonging to the party with the huge registration advantage are going to win. This would be the case even if a disadvantaged candidate had unparalleled name recognition, as Timothy McMenamin does in Portland's House District 41. He'll still be beaten by Democratic candidate Kathleen Taylor, thanks to her party's nearly three-to-one registration advantage. That's to bad. Tim has worked hard for his District and this writer thinks he deserves to win.

Wilamette Week Asked My Opponent Some Important Questions!!

"When asked this time about tax reform, for example, Taylor wasn’t prepared to talk in any depth about what she might prefer, except to say a more progressive system would be better". "Of all the issues Oregon faces—taxes, mental health care, school reform, to name a few—she says her absolutely No. 1 issue is e-cigarettes. She wants to pass laws against minors buying e-cigs and how they can be marketed. That’s a pretty narrow agenda".

Timothy McMenamin (@McMenamin4OR) | Twitter

Like most Oregonians, I am deeply concerned about Oregon's spending priorities. We have little to show for the alarming growth in spending. Oregon's government has lacked accountability and transparency. Poor decisions have led to over spending and waste. As your State Representative I will work to restore appropriate spending priorities in Salem. The Legislature has held schools and public safety hostage every time they want more revenue for non-essential programs. Spending has increased remarkably while the quality of core government services has significantly decreased. Many agencies are ineffective and inefficient with little or no legislative oversight. As your State Representative I will work to promote job growth and long-term economic stability. I value hard work and will work to make it possible for businesses to do what they do best --- create jobs and ignite the economy. Regulations should guide, not restrict, and tax policy should encourage, not discourage, entrepreneurial risk-taking and small business creation.
