Starting this week, because I am reduced to desperation and because I tire of giving TriMet my money, I’ll be…biking to work? My god, yes.

Should help my diabetes provided I don’t fall down one of the city’s many pavement craters and, um, die…

You’ll see plenty of big government subsidized new shiny toys there!

If you’re going to get angry, then please do so for a legitimate reason.

Maybe they will all be covered with red carpets before the Emperor arrives in September. Does Rep. Tillis support the RED LINE or not? Does anyone have an answer to this important question? I will not vote for any politician that supports a boondoggle that WILL be subsidized by the taxpayers, who are already supporting a cable company here in socialist Davidson.

Power lines are privately owned, the telecom infrastructure is privately owned. The fact that the use of a private easement is metered and tolled doesn’t mean it’s closed. What is the difference between having to pay to access your powerline or phone or cable line that runs past your house and having to pay to drive down the street that runs past your house.

Your statement about disposing of unprofitable roads makes no sense. If a business is unprofitable to the point of insolvency then it closes and its assets are liquidated, i.e. sold to someone else.
