A perspective from Oregon’s mid-Willamette Valley

On my way with OReGO, maybe

Written July 15th, 2015 by Hasso Hering

After a confused start, my part of Oregon’s new road tax system may be on its way after all. We’ll see in a couple of days whether my newly installed mileage reporting device actually reports mileage, as my OReGO account manager assures me it will.


OReGo, slow go or no go: First steps

Written July 10th, 2015 by Hasso Hering

My adventure with OReGO is off to an uncertain start. The lights don’t blink the way they should, and for the weekend the help desk is closed.


Will escape still be possible?

Written July 1st, 2015 by Hasso Hering

July 1 is an important date not only because Oregon now allows the “recreational” use of marijuana but because it also is a milestone on the road to total surveillance. So far this surveillance covers only volunteers. But in 10 or 20 years, I doubt escape will be possible for any of us still around.
