Jim Whitty, administrator of the state's Road User Fee Task Force...the state created Whitty's task force in November 2001 with the mandate of studying a variety of alternative sources of income.
States do not create task forces, politicians do. The citizens of Oregon need to find the politician responsible, and demote them to some sort of task force role.
The correct response for the politician would be to allow the roads to fall into disrepair until the citizens are willing to pass a gas tax increase.
The fact that no elected official is mentioned in the article...well after yesterday's FCC decision, I guess we just better get used to it.
