Why do counties in Washington State seem to have few problems providing necessary services with no O&C lands from which to obtain timber receipts? Why does Oregon have so many problems like funding bridge and overpass replacements while Washington seems not to have all these bridge replacement problems? Could it be Washington State does projects correctly in the first place? I think Oregon counties have been feeding at the public trough for way too long and this is at the root of the problem.
Thanks,
