You've seen the headlines.
And seen and heard the outcry of ODOT losing jobs.
Let's dive in. ⬇️ Democrat politicians control the Governor’s office, ODOT and all the agencies, and hold a supermajority in both chambers – blaming Republicans for their failure to govern is laughable and gaslighting.

🚨 Oregon Alert: Massive Tax Hike Incoming! 🚨

Democrats just introduced House Bill 2025—a transportation tax hike that could cost Oregonians over a billion dollars per year. Here’s what’s at stake: 🧵 below 🔺 37.5% increase in the gas tax
🔺 New sales tax on cars (on top of the one you’re already paying)
🔺 Tripling the tax on your wages
🔺 32+ other new taxes and fees

All this, with no real reforms or accountability for how ODOT spends your money.

I just got word that Daimler Trucks North America will be pausing all orders for trucks intended for Oregon.

So DEQ gaslighting that “everything is fine” and “there are flexibility’s in place” and there “won’t be disruption” and “we’re communicating with manufacturers to understand barriers” looks like it’s not working.

Or is it?

See in comments - background on DEQ’s effective ban on diesel trucks starting in 11 days. #orleg x.com/boshartdavisag… x.com/boshartdavisag…

Oregon is purple - it’s a blue-ish purple sure, but the Legislature acts as if the majority party represents 90% of the voters in this state. They do not.

"I was working in the ER, I was 7 weeks pregnant. My husband & I were so excited. I was helping with a patient who was being violent and a danger to self/others. They were able to kick me in the abdomen. 3 wks later, we lost the baby." #orleg #PassHB4142 2/ "My coworker was assaulted last June. She had multiple closed fist hits to her head/neck, resulting in a significant head injury that kept her out of work for months & up to now can only work for a short time due to lingering problems from the assault." #orleg #PassHB4142

It’s likely that you’ve seen something come across the news or your SM feed now about the extreme congestion of container ships sitting outside of LA/Long Beach waters, waiting to berth, & you’ve probably felt the impacts of supply chain disruption at home and/or your biz. 🧵 1/ BOSSCO Trading and Boshart Trucking have been in the drayage/export shipping business for over 15 yrs, and these challenges are some of the greatest we’ve faced to date. We heard from someone at Tyson Foods who has been in logistics for 45 yrs and this is the worst he’s seen. 2/
