The state of Oregon has  spent $300 million on a non-existent computer system (Cover Oregon) and $227 million on a non-existent bridge across the Columbia and close to $200 million on the non-existent straightening of US Highway 20.  

Oregon taxpayers are used to spending hundreds of millions of dollars and getting nothing for their money.

Why should they whine about this, right?

Heck, Eugene spent $5.6 million and all they got was a bare gravel lot that you can't park a car on.  

Of course, the taxpayers want to provide more money for 'art'!

Taxpayers love waste!  That's why they keep re-electing those who produce it!
