Oregon left off federal infrastructure list for roads, bridges, etc.
Highways, roads, bridges and other major infrastructure in Oregon didn’t make the list.
In a move that has riled many top Oregon state officials and politicians, President Donald Trump has left Oregon completely off his proposed list for federal funding for roads, highways, bridges and other critical infrastructure.

Oregon is no different from most states that are struggling with tighter budgets due, in no small way, to steadily shrinking federal assistance over the past twenty years for highways, roads, bridges, sewer and water systems under the guise that government should back off and let private enterprise show the way.
