That gets them up to around 120 this month, apparently.

Wanna bet the Portland taxpayer is on the hook for something or another with this?

The "Portland taxpayer" is on the hook for 5 times as much and has been for decades paying public-dollar subsidy necessary to keep low-ball gasoline prices at the pump, and keeping gasoline stations open and in business, and keeping Detroit automakers in business as usual 'asking no questions' propping up free-market capitalism.
What Reuters Got Wrong About Romney's Energy Plan, JILL FITZSIMMONS, Media Matters for America Blog, August 23, 2012 (incl. UPDATE 8/24/12) As long as Reuters- and AP-supplied news gets it wrong, then nobody knows nothing and everyone's kept in the dark ... reciting each to ourself the way we remember the bright 'infinite growth' American dream was before the lights went out and dark was put on us. The actual published content in media matters for America. The murder drones makers would lay off thousands of clueless gnomes and go out of business, too, if each of us taxpayers stopped subsidizing that 'infrastructure.' But it wouldn't be because their product didn't perform.Same way, windmills totally perform well producing homemade electricity. Except big oily-bribed Congress prevents each home from having one, ensuring all stay in the dark. ... or maybe the 'Vestas' of the world haven't kicked back bribe enough to provide federal Congresspersons their principal of operation.
