I'm a pro-tax guy. I'm generally happy to see tax increases and I pay my taxes with joy. I see them as the price of admission to civilization and I want the best civilization I can get.

However, after years of mismanagement by Jon Ruiz, I will no longer support any tax measures put forward by the city of Eugene. Similarly, after years of deadly mismanagement of ODOT by Matt Garrett, I cannot support any additional funds for ODOT. It's an absolute disaster of a state department. ODOT couldn't kill more people if it tried.
