Ted "tax-and-gouge-me" Kulongoski wants to add TOLLS that will VARY in price

the Oregonian

Despite the high cost of fuel, it may cost you more to drive depending on the time of day, location and/or congestion level on the freeway if Ted Kulongoski has his way.

Kulongoski, in his war on global warming says "this is the largest, most strategic, and GREENEST plan in Oregon history."

"We cannot allow ourselves to fall into the trap of thinking transportation and climate change are conflicting policy priorities," says Kulongoski

Kulongoski admits that a new source of funding must be found, that's where tollbooths or congestion pricing comes in or are charging drivers how many miles they drive e.g. installing a GPS system in your vehicle, and charging increased vehicle registration fees.

while Teddy hasn't noticed, with gasoline and diesel prices being as such, people are starting to drive a lot less which has at least according to CNBC, force the price of oil to come down a little bit.

Of course isn't it interesting that when they talk about global warming, green, etc. that it always winds up costing us, the general public, more money in the long run while at the same time putting more money in to the general fund.

Perhaps we have a different idea of a "GREEN".
