This endless fiscal malarkey is why Oregon can't have nice things. 
Scores of millions of taxpayer dollars gone up in political smoke, gobbled down the maw of the ODOT and lavished upon the PER$™ pyramid scheme, et cetera, et cetera, on and on and  on...

Will Oregonians grasp that we can actually afford to provide quality education to our children, state of the art infrastructure, full spectrum medical care for all, to build a sustainable diversified economy, to promote employment and a healthy environment? 

If we arose together and ended all the tax avoidance and sweetheart treatments for special interests, waste, fraud and abuse of public funding, and redundant bureaucratic flim-flam, and demanded efficiency and accountability from increasingly renegade public employees, then we should at least be able to afford a functioning government.
