They will keep researching until they get the answer they want.

Oregon State University researchers are conducting perception studies about offshore wind...

FAILED blades, TRAPPED marine life, and SILENCED communities... The offshore wind story they don't want you to hear.

Oregon coastal residents overwhelmingly REJECTED offshore wind development in the 2024 election.

So why are researchers now asking us about wind projects in Maine?

Let's talk facts:

GE Vernova just paid $10.5 million after catastrophic blade failures... during mild weather.

Marine life pays an even steeper price. Electromagnetic fields from underwater cables leave crabs immobilized. Lobster larvae develop deformities at 3x normal rates.

Meanwhile, California residents pay DOUBLE the national average for electricity where wind energy dominates.

The numbers don't lie. Meeting Britain's renewable targets with wind would cost £120 billion... while gas could deliver the same power for £13 billion.

Mission
The Vote Before Tolls Committee exists to give Oregon voters direct input on state and local tolling decisions.
Congestion Tolling on the I-205 Corridor (near West Linn/Oregon City) and on I-5 (near the Rose Quarter) is being considered as a result of Oregon Legislation HB 2017 where tolling was identified to help fund selected Transportation needs and projects. We are working to organize and empower citizens to have a voice and a vote, on these and future tolling decisions!
About Us
The Vote Before Tolls Committee is a grassroots, citizen-driven non-partisan statewide effort.
Goals
• Legislation calling for a public vote on highway tolls before they go into effect
• ODOT transparency on their decision processes, toll amounts, use of funds, and plans for sunsetting of tolls
• An open discussion as to how tolls fit into ODOT’s short- and long-term funding strategy for local and statewide projects
Beliefs
• Highway tolls are a new form of taxation in Oregon. Taxpayers do not trust Salem and ODOT to act in the best interest of the general public and businesses.
• Oregonians deserve to have a say at the ballot box before they are tolled to use existing highways.*
• Automobiles, trucks, bicycles, public transit, and sidewalks serve different, but co-existing transportation needs.
• It is essential that Oregon have high quality and efficient roads to serve the diverse needs of its people and businesses.
• The current Oregon Tolling Proposal
• Is not equitable and places a disproportionate financial and traffic burden on segments of citizenry and businesses
• Is a gateway to expanded and permanent tolling across the Portland tri-county region … and the rest of the state
• We do not oppose traditional tolling that pays for the capital costs of new capacity, but we believe the citizens should have a direct say in these decisions.
• Oregonians want to be environmentally responsible and question Congestion Pricing/Tolling as the safest, most efficient, and best solution.
• Tolling with excessive collection overheads is irresponsible and not financially prudent or viable.
• Tolling that prevents accessing federal matching highway funds is not generally prudent.
• Using tolling for capital expenses (construction) is differnt than tolling for ongoing maintenance or general transportation funding.

We acknowledge that tolling adding capacity is legal by federal statute.

The government has the uncanny ability to convince people that, without the government, there would be no development. When in fact, the government is a hindrance to natural growth.
