Rob is back from vacation, so the Dynamically Drunken Duo were able to record a new episode. Today, Brett and Rob discuss the $3.8 billion boondoggle of a tax plan the Oregon Legislature has passed in order to "fund" repairs to the Oregon highway system. They talk about the new taxes that are being levied (including a first-ever partial sales tax against the will of the people), tolling of the bridges and the Interstates in Portland, and how the Legislature will probably stay true to form and blow the money on other projects that the government wants to spend the money on. Brett and Rob go on a rant about how the private sector could do a much better job building and repairing roads with a much smaller budget, and discuss the possibly-inspired-by-a-six-year-old-child plan to extend the Portland surface streets over the top of I-5 in the Rose Quarter. If you weren't drinking before listening to this episode, you will probably be by the end.
