The Wall Street Journal today published an op-ed I wrote about the transportation tax mess Tina Kotek and her allies find themselves in, and what it might mean for Oregon’s ruling progressive coalition.

Here’s a link, which may be paywalled.

Here’s a screenshot from the online print version:

My apologies for the poor audio quality of the video. I forgot to use earbuds/mic and don’t have time to re-do it.

Also, I wrote and submitted the piece before Ed Diehl and Chris Dudley got in the governor’s race. That’s why it mentions only Christine Drazan as a likely opponent for Kotek.

I hope to dig into Democrats’ bill to change the referendum election date from November to May and publish something soon.

Stay tuned!
