While Salem shovels money at roads and cuts libraries

In just one day's stories, we see

Ashland, with heavy city involvement with figuring out how to be sustainable;

Corvallis, buying more green power than any other place; and of course,

Portland and the Metro Area figuring out how to make commuter rail happen.

Meanwhile, in Oregon's capital city, we've just lost the other half of weekend transit service, are slashing funding for libraries, and dropped $5 million on improvements to the airport that has no airline service.
