Portland...bridges and other

[pdedse]

Nice, Au₂O₃. And more stunning photos, pdedse. If they’re levying you for the bridges, go and ride backwards and forwards across them till you feel you’ve got your money’s worth.

Well, I guess I better get started because their fees are going to increase. Currently we pay $19 per year per vehicle and with the new year that increases to $56 per year, per vehicle. Motorcycles increase from $19 per year to $39. So I own 3 cars, two motorcycles and one boat trailer and that totals $302 per year. That's a chunk of change. I actually wrote DMV and suggested that they limit the number of vehicles any one family could be charged for, maybe set at 2 or 3, but I don't think they heard me. Like for other taxes, some of the services a given individual may never use, but I think I'll make it a habbit to cross the Sellwood Bridge more often--it is a fine bridge, earthquake ready now!
