Not just selfish, but also stupid
A few weeks ago Clackamas County had a referendum on whether to contribute a few piddly dollars to the Sellwood Bridge replacement project. It failed, because the selfish parasites in Clackamas County (74% of the trips over the Sellwood Bridge originate or terminate in Clackamas County) would rather continue getting their roadways for free.
Since then, I’ve noticed that whenever I cross the existing Sellwood bridge (in the lane, of course, because there are no dedicated bicycle lanes like there would be on the replacement) that I get a steady stream of idiots in trucks and other small-penis compensation devices shrieking obscenities at me when previously people would just silently share the bridge with me. It’s as if the selfish parasites actually thought that by voting against the bridge they’d make the bicyclists go away.
The Multnomah County commissioners might be spineless jellyfish that will roll over in the face of suburban idiots who feel that cities should spend all their money so that said idiots can waddle from suburb to suburb without tainting their beautiful subdivisions with permanent works, but I’m not. I’ve got right of way on that bridge, and I live in Portland. *kiss, kiss*, jerks; if you want respect, don’t be parasites, and be thankful Multnomah County isn’t slapping toll booths on the west approach to the bridge.
Even though it should.

How about a fund for all Clackamas County residents who use the Sellwood bridge or have a friend or relative who uses that bridge? Why doesn’t a local bank in connection with Carolyn Tomei (for example) set up such a fund? I have my checkbook waiting.
