Letter: Something’s fishy at Oregon DOT
Published 8:15 am Monday, October 23, 2023
2023 is the first year the Idaho Department of Transportation has approved a budget over $1 billion, promising big improvements. Oregon DOT’s two-year budget is approximately $6 billion plus another $1.4 billion in other funding, and it’s promising cuts in service and maintenance.
Oregon has about 50% more road miles than Idaho, and 370% more money to spend. Seems like something might be rotten in Denmark.
