Where your money goes

Portlanders, as Sam the Tram whines about how he's out of money for basic street maintenance, and you gasp at your astronomical sewer bills from Big Pipe and the sanitation bureaucrats, do you ever wonder where they're burning your property tax dollars?

Not to mention the $33,000 just wasted on three new Smart Cars when they'll be coming out in 1008 for $11,000 less than they paid for them (a 40% price drop).
