Clackamas County Commissioners unanimously vote for car tax saying the hundreds of taxpayers who showed up to meetings, commissioned polls, and wrote letters didn’t outnumber the Portland bike/light rail/planner class.
The story is here. Here’s the nut ‘graph:
The commission had heard from a vocal contingent of opposition to the fee increase during a three-part public hearing, but counted a larger number in support of the fee, including correspondence and phone calls.
One phone call from a bike enthusiast equals ten protesters.
