Oregon is BROKE? Why Taxpayers are Funding “Creative Resistance” Instead of Roads

from Behind the Line Podcast: Pacific Northwest Politics & Constitutional Commentary · host Behind The Line Podcast

Oregon is facing a massive budget crisis. While ODOT warns of a $297 million shortfall for basic road maintenance and public safety, taxpayer dollars are still flowing into "Creative Resistance" conferences and "Pride in Numbers" ideological research projects. ​In this episode of Left Coast News, we dive into Oregon’s fiscal priorities. How can the state claim the cupboard is bare for essential services while maintaining a "protected lane" for ideological machinery? From the $1.41 billion kicker refund to the "Meaningful Care Conference," we look at the line-by-line reality of where your money is actually going.​#OregonBudget #TaxpayerWaste #LeftCoastNews ​#OregonPolitics #ODOT #FiscalResponsibility #GovernmentAccountability #OregonKicker #PortlandNews
