Description

A special legislative session to pass new taxes for transportation should include explicit language restricting the new revenue for maintenance and operations, the editorial board writes.

Gov. Tina Kotek’s multibillion-dollar transportation tax plan, if passed, will help prevent layoffs at the Oregon Department of Transportation, funnel money to local governments for road repairs and prop up struggling public transit systems. It also promises to replace the Byzantine system of charging truckers with a more streamlined approach.
