La la la We Can’t Hear You! Clackamas County Votes to Tax CARS to Pay for Light Rail (and Maybe the Sellwood Bridge)

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.
