Interesting article. I really don't know if Oregon's spotlight on Washington's legislature will carry that much weight or not. However, one comment kind of jumped out at me,

"The chances of CRC funding coming out of the Senate: "Not very likely," Rivers said."

For the life of me I didn't know Sen. Rivers speaks for the entire Washington Senate!

But all fun aside, it's going to be a tough deal for both sides. There is a LOT at stake... I don't know if I would like to be the person who shoots down this bridge and both states of Oregon and Washington have nothing for another 10 years.

Yet, I can assure Briggs that Moeller doesn't speak for them either.  And fiortunately for us, Rivers actually wants to represent the people, unlike Moeller and his ilk, who don't care.
