Finally we have someone with common sense running for office, who is willing to do something about transportation and infrastructure. As transportation is my livelihood I find it a shame that commercial truck drivers have to spend many hours waiting to travel across the I-5 Bridge. The cost of fuel and the lack of improved infrastructure have caused several motor carriers in the Portland/ Vancouver metro area to go under. This is also causing higher unemployment, a burden to the economy of Washington. We need the bridge and lightrail to enhance future economic growth in Vancouver. Thank you!
