Gas tax and related fees have paid most if not all road construction and maintenance costs in Oregon after the 1920s -- and in most states. Same with the interstate highways.

Huh.

Voters in this village were asked to pass a special levy for road
repaving a couple years ago. The mayor stood in the middle of my street
for the large photo in the newspaper.

The levy passed. The mayor's street was the first one paved. Mine is
still in the same horrible condition, and isn't scheduled for paving
this year.

I try to look on the good side and pretend it's natural traffic calming.


But had you actively supported the Mayor - been photographed standing
in the middle of the street waving a flag - than your street might
have been the second paved :-)
